And I go back and forth on 4x4 but it's going to be a summer drag strip toy/weekend thrasher. I know 4x4 would be a little more useful on the streets but I will just have to apply more driver mod I guess and see how I do Mostly wanting 2wd due to less weight.

If I were you I wouldn't pay Gibbs money for that... no JGS bumpers, grille, seats, interior trim pieces... doesn't even appear to have the dash plaque.
I'm not saying it's not a Gibbs... just pointing out that all it has is 20s, the door badges, cluster, and the exhaust. Wouldn't go too much more than book on a regular 5.3 Silverado.
Good luck
EDIT: Just read you're getting it for a good deal... awesome!

I love my Gibbs. There were different Gibbs options put out, and I thought some of the earlier ones might have been missing some stuff. Like stated above, the front bumper, seats, dash plaque. The badges on the one in the picture are just the decal ones too, they are not the metal badge that most of them come with. If you are getting it for a good deal, great. If you are paying full Gibbs price for that truck, seriously think about it. It does look like the Corsa exhaust is on there, thats the way mine was when I bought it.
It is also missing the rear wing.
Let me know if you need pics of anything.

But yea, it's a fair amount below what it books out for retail so unless the pictures are deceiving and it's thrashed it should still be a good deal. Will throw the laptop on it and do some logging and scanning and try and get it up on the lift at Rogers shop if we can make time.

I think the previous owner installed the cover but will still ask about the wing. Spoke with the guy again yesterday and he mailed off the power of attorney paperwork to his wife yesterday so it should be to her by the time I get home. Right now planning on checking it out Tuesday when she has a day off work.
Have a couple questions maybe someone can answer here though. The title is from NC since that is wher he bought it before bringing it up here. This should be a simple $15 fee to have it changed over to my name and an Alaskan title when I buy the truck right? Other question is he just renewed the registration in April so it still has close to two years left. Do I have to pay for all new registration or can that be transferred to me also and save a few bucks??

Well it's happening. Grabbing cash in a few and meeting at DMV. Some minor wear and tear but no major leaks or serious mechanical stuff. Needs new windshield eventually. Need brake job and alignment but drives great.
More pics tonight. It needs a good detail job.
