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

jajajajajaa I'm going to hell for that one. I'm glad everyone here can take a joke does that same stereotype still apply in Mexico, or is it just a stereotype that us Americans have?

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
