Default So what ya think of the new 2k beater???

Just picked her up 2000 silverado 3500.. Me and pops split it.. Gona keep it simple.. 5-8 drop, new wheels. The gay flames and stripes are coming off. Buddy of mine already has a set of smoked markers, cab lights, so they are going on also, FREEBIE.. Getting ready to shampoo the carpets now.. Has 106k orig miles on it, just had a new fuel pump, filter, serp belt, alt put on..It is a gasser, but kinda surprised it isn't a total dog like I thought it was going to be... Already have a line on a 24v cummins, trans.. but that swap will be a ways down the road.. I think for the price we did good.
