Well, as luck would have it, I picked up a new "Used" truck to add to our fleet.
I was hooked the moment I saw the color.![Smiling face with hearts :smiling_face_with_3_hearts: 🥰](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f970.png)
And no, the SS is not going up for sale unless someone offers a ridiculous amount of money for it.
Here is a short story to bring you up to speed with "What" and "Why."
This is a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500HD. The truck is 4WD and has the 6.0 LS with the 4L80E transmission that has reportedly been rebuilt. From what I can tell, the only thing that isn't factory in the engine bay is the intake. Other than that, it's essentially stock. The truck sounds and runs pretty damn good with the addition of a Magnaflow muffler. It isn't lifted but does have the aftermarket wheels and tires (285's). Overall, for what it is and what I want to use the truck for, it should fit the bill.
I have to say, this Silverado is NOWHERE near as clean as my SS. My Silverado SS has been babied and stored indoors majority of its life and I haven't "Abused the truck." The interior and exterior of that vehicle are in superb condition, and I've become spoiled by that.
This 1500HD has not been treated quite as nicely, but it's not in terrible condition either. There are a lot of silly things that need to be fixed or addressed, that I'll work on as I get the time.
