2004 Silverado
I've decided to put up my truck. It's not too much compared to some of the others I've seen like Custom Chevy Cobalts or Candy Red Ford Mustangs but at least it isn't on the Prius side. 
*cough*
It's stock with some accessories from the dealer.
It's a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado with a Vortec 5300 (5.3L V8). It's got the factory Off-Road Z71 package that adds the Gov-lock to the rear differential, skid plate to the transfer case, and special gas shocks. I think the Off Road package was yanked a few years ago (2008 Possibly?) and was replaced with a Z71 Appearance Package. You're better off with a 4x4 now or the Texas/All Star Edition (people will celebrate purchasing the Texas Edition here because, well, it's not Texas).
I've considered dropping the stock exhaust and putting Magnaflow Dual Pipes, but I like the Vortec's low torque; eliminating the stock pipe gets rid of the back pressure. Might consider changing the shift points in the tranny though. One thing that I'm making sure of since my father gave it to me is to use Synthetic Oil in it.It's got the GM Bed Liner, Running Boards (Passenger side lights died about a week or so ago, gonna have to find a fix; they're Westin boards) and chrome bed rails.
It's an Extended Cab with Suicide doors (love them) which gives me the 6.5 foot box from the start.
EDIT: I haven't had much time to get my pictures of my Phone, so I googled the engine and general truck. It's basically the truck shown, but in black with the accessories attached. Same wheels too, which I love.
