My New Ride!!!! :D

Ok guys, so after shopping around to find a good interest rate... I found a GREAT rate! Anyway, today I put the downpayment and took out a loan for my new ride... it's been a long time coming. It was the perfect price, 1 owner (old guy).

I have a sense of accomplishment...

((((((((Its 11:00pm tonight, i just got home... so pics will come tomorrow!!))))))))

2004 Silverado Z71
57,xxx miles
Extended Cab (4dr)
Maroon
Locking Diff.
Brush Guard
Spray in bed liner
Tubular Side Step Bars
Bet Rails
Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover
Dual Exhaust (not sure of the kind... they look like glasspacks)

1 issue (it was sold to me though my dad's coworker)
The power steering is leaking, and its wining a bit. (I'm hoping just a hose, but for the price I paid for the truck, this is def. easy to look past and fix!!)

(PICS SOON!)

Re: My New Ride!!!! :D

Congrats, wish you the best of luck with the Silverado.

P.S. I thought you were looking for something more fuel efficient than the old K1500.

Re: My New Ride!!!! :D

What's going to happen to your old truck?

And will the new truck have horns?
