Because all my other unfinished projects weren't enough, and because Im from Houston and im a beaner and thats what chicks are into around here. Lol.

No but seriously, I had plenty of car builds, so wanted something a little more conservative and manlier, my two seater cars weren't cuttin it anymore. My dream vehicle was always a Silverado SS, and finally got one, and then it was stolen. After owning my first truck it became a necessity of life, so I think ill always own a fast truck lol.

Sadly yes, only difference was stepside, driverside electric seat

Only came with a 5.3 like the rest, i know it's a edition but people kept asking how that 400 engine was performing so I ended up taking off the 400Ss stickers on the sides

LOL, I guess they started with a real 400 and later they would sell them with a regular engine to save money

I figured it out!

400 refers to how many Mexicans you can fit in the cab and bed

Wow, I had no idea Chevrolet would do something that dumb.

In reference to the above post about a truck getting stolen......seems like you would leave the keys in that one.....it's like a big sticker that says "hey, come steal me. you can drive with the windows down......the cops totally understand". lol
