I guess I'll make one of these for this truck too, since it's become more of my focal point than my Yukon right now. A couple months ago I picked up an 06 Silverado crew cab with a 5.3 4WD. Got it for $5200, big thing being no rust (I'm in Michigan, this is a big deal lol). It had just under 274k miles on it when I got it. Right away I knew it would need some work, which is part of the reason I bought it, I can't stay away from projects.

First thing I did when I got it home was gut the interior. Previous owner(s) smoked in it. It also came from a dusty area in Texas, so a lot of that reddish dust was all over everything. Over time, things got wet, turned to mud, etc etc. I pulled the carpet, padding, headliner, everything but the dash out of it. I cleaned up everything pretty well. There were some spots in that carpet that just weren't coming out, but it doesn't smell anymore.

Before reassembling the interior, I also found a center console out of an Avalanche at a local U-Pull-It. That needed as much cleaning as the rest of the truck. I think every spill was just left there. And it seemed they liked to roll blunts in that console, lots of residue, tobacco, burn marks, wrappers, etc. I do need to find new inserts (cubbys, cup holder pieces) and new rubber pieces. The main body of the console was good though. It cleaned up well. It also has the Bose amp/sub in it. For now I just pulled it out, but if I ever decide to try and use it, I've got it.
