What: 2wd 2003 Silverado Extended Cab Short Bed
Mileage: a lot
Engine: 4.8L
This is your basic no frills truck. It does have carpet, power windows/locks but that's about it. So it's a blank canvas for whatever and pretty close to what I wanted because my boys will continue to learn how to work on cars with this truck and the plan is eventually my boys will share this truck as they start getting into driving age. I figure if they have some input and work on it with me then by the time they are 16 they'll have some blood, sweat and tears into it and hopefully that will translate in being proud of what they're driving and take care of it like it's their very own. We'll see how it works. Gotta keep dufus' from running into me first for it last that long LOL

Current Mods:
Exterior:
--18" K2XX wheels and tires
--Mirrors (need painted and installed)

Future Plans/Mods:
--Rims. Probably 22s. Thinking something along the lines of Factory Reps but we'll see. (Spring '18)
--Full repaint (Fall '17)
--Front sway bar (belltech 5402 or Hellwig 7702) and rear sway bar
--Colormatch mirrors, grill, handles, bumpers (same as paint)
--shave third (same time as paint)
--Audio. I kept most of my audio stuff from my 87 so will most likely use much of that and throw it into this. Most likely going with a Pioneer AVH-2330NEX for head unit. (Summer '18)
--More stuff will go here as this thing moves along
Just like all of my "builds" this will be slow so don't expect this all to happen super fast but I'll start picking away at it soon.
