nice truck, but I don't think I'll ever buy another reg cab unless it's strictly a race truck. what gears does it have?

I simply have no need for the extended cab or crew, I can understand some of your guys reaction to trading in a camaro for it but the silverado frame actually broke in 2 places, so she needs a frame swap thats salty winters for ya, so I needed a reliable truck to get me back and forth to work everyday. DLT76028 I beleive it has 3.42 which isnt bad at all with the 6 speed tranny

Also threw on a ready lift 2.25" leveling kit, though she still has a slight rake to her but its not nearly as bad

yeah but to each his own, I still miss the camaro alot, but Im loving the practicality again of a reliable truck that gets 600+ km per tank, she retailed for 40,000, I got it on the road for 28,000

And no plans for wheels and tires yet, want to keep her relatively stock while I get the Silverado back in tip top shape. Half thinking about just rocking the leveling kit and throwing on a kb racing turbo and running it at some low boost....for now

Nice Zach, you did pretty good imo. Then when you get bored with the leveling kit you could always go this direction too lol

No ball bustin here, was just curious about the blue truck. Seems a shame you spent so much fixing it up nice and now you can't drive it.
