Default Bought a new truck, good to be back!

Well I haven't been on much in the last year or so. I was down in Arkansas working and had so many problems with my 05, I went to see what a new CCSB would run with trade. Turns out I had enough in my trade along with GM points to justify a new one.

It is a 2013 Silverado CCSB LT Z71 5.3 with a full center console ( maybe my favorite part )

All I have done to it so far is switch to Mobil One, tint the windows, installed LEDs on the inside, bedliner, and debadge the outside. I painted the bowtie if you even count that.

Near future - Leveling kit, CAI, tune, maybe exhaust, match the handles

It was a harsh winter in St. Louis so last weekend I spent about 7 hours washing, polishing, and waxing. Thanks to Dylan for all your youtube videos, I am still a beginner but your videos really helped.

I know the pictures are weak but I just snapped a couple quick. Good to be back!!!!

Thanks. I wanted the matched front end, but I had to stop spending $$ somewhere. If not I would have ended up with a new Duramax.
