My uncles friend picked 3 up at the auction, I paid $7k, retail is $9k-$10k around here. I just did an autotrader search on that truck this morning and within 100 miles everything similer is $3k more.


One thing I don't like is that it has a cap, luckly it was clamped on so I'm going to take it right off and sell it. If anyone wants a cap PM me, its going on ebay next week. I need a tailgate too since they took that off for the cap.



I'm going to put nerf bars and a bug shield on it like this one, might go stainless on both for some contrast.
I was just teasing, Chris. I've never had a vehicle that I hadn't given at least one character mark.

So it's a contractor cap with the two vertical barn doors? Steel or FG?

You should be happy with it. Is it a 6 or 8? I bought one of my salesmen a new '04 Silverado 1500 Extended Cab 2WD with the 5.3L that averaged 17mpg before a tree fell on it and folded it in half. The '07 that replaced it averages almost 18 with the 5.3L.
