drew12000 : 1999 Chevrolet Silverado LS

I'm loving it, nice find!! I need one of those just to tow things around, I'm a collectomaniac and always find things I can fix and repair and re-sale.

That's a nice little rig you got there! I bet the 5.3 moves the 2wd reg cab pretty good. Should drop a 6.2 in it.

Those Tahoe wheels were also used on Avalanches too, so that may help broaden your search for some. I really like those wheels. They will look great on that truck, especially once you do the 5/7.

I'm excited to see some work on this thing. I love this generation of Chev/GMC trucks. My roommate has a black 2005 Sierra SLT crew cab with black leather and 22s. Sick truck.

Removed interior to clean and install new sound deadening material.

Finding the short wheel base with a 5.3 is very rare. My buddy in high school had an FRC Corvette that he built an iron 408 for and put his old LS1 cam in the truck. It wasn't much but it gave it enough to be a little more peppy.

I was told it was rare truck. Even more so if I found one in black. That's what drove my search.

I've been looking for a black 99 2wd ls regular cab short wide bed for several months. And finally came across one 4hrs away in great shape with low mileage.
