Long time no see 
I had jumped off the GM bandwagon for a little while, bought a '17 Ram Sport CC last year cuz I wanted something "newer that I didn't have to work on all the time". That blew up in my face, I worked on that stupid Ram more than I did my C10 all of last year. Between that and issues with my finance company, I said F it and dumped the Ram. Picked this thing up this past weekend. 2005 Silverado CCSSB Z71, LM7/4L60/3.42/G80. BONE. STOCK. Victory Red, charcoal cloth with buckets, console, Bose and steering wheel controls.
2 owner truck, been local to me it's whole life, 175k miles. The engine is SILENT, no piston slap or lifter tick AT ALL and great oil pressure. It got a new trans a couple years back that still has like 73k miles on the warranty. The truck cruises down the road like a new one. It has some stock size Cooper AT3s. It does have an underbed 5th wheel cuz he towed this goofy little ~16ft 5th wheel camper around with his wife (they're probably early 70s). It even has the stock exhaust still lol. He'd owned it 11 years and kept up any maintenance. The only bad part is that it was painted around 2018 and the roof needs to be done again, not surprising since he didn't have a garage. They also taped off around everything instead of stripping it, so when I pull the emblems and moldings, it'll have to be redone there too. Not a huge deal though. Overall it's a very nice truck. The rest of the truck will just need a good buff, underhood cleaning and underneath cleaning. There's several dirt roads around him and he told me he'd take it to his deer lease as well. But there's absolutely zero rust or damage underneath. Couple little dents and dings, that's it.
