Well some of ya might know me by 04silvy so here we go on the new truck

Well after i traded my silverado for the escalade it was all fine and dandy till i had to haul something... ever since then i've wanted a truck again. The escalade was awesome had so much fun with it and really wanted to keep it but function>form. So i kept my eyes open and this came in at work. Was an older couples and they hauled horses with it and thats about it. Its a 2001 GMC 1500HD which is pretty much a 3/4ton with a wierd name. 6.0L, 14bolt posi/limited slip whatever it is havent looked it up yet. Its got 110,000mi Caddy had 114000 and a slipping trans. This trucks trans fluid is actually red so its been serviced atleast once. Its only 2wd but that will change one day to a SFA so im not too worried for meow. theres no body rust anywere not the rockers, cab corners or bedsides like my old silverado so im super happy. within the first 5 hours i pulled the running boards, bugshield, pinstripe, SLE badges, Sierra badge and cranked the bars a lil. Going to throw my 1/2ton keys in it sometime soon to fully level it out.

To Do list before Camp n Drag

Exhaust

all new stereo/speakers
SFA
esky handles

foglight valance/lights

thats all for meow, next is probly try and candy the tails
Then figure out some options for door speakers anyone got any good suggestions for under $120 post um up
 
Its sounds pretty good quietish at cruising and gets loud around 1/3 throttle. Also notice it louder after it warms up than when its cold. But overall im happy with it. Would like an H or X pipe before the bullet eventually, it almost has a straight pipe crackle at certain rpms/loads. But for 50 bucks cant really complain
 
you plan on removing window visors? otherwise truck looks good. ive always had good luck with infinity speakers. infinity kappas if you can swing the extra cash they hold better when you amp them if you plan on doing so in the future
