Very nice Joe, well done...I'm jealous mate...green with envy. Always been a Dodge fan, but if I couldn't get a Dodge then it would be a Chevy. Love the colour too.

Vince it's got the 4.8 litre V8 Vortec ( 302 horse power ) I'll probably leave the stock rims on there for a while. ( need to get a couple of bills payed off first )

Plenty of horsepower to get you where you need to go mate...and it will be great on the freeway too. I reckon you won't get out of it for the first few weeks you'll be that happy...and I don't blame ya one iota mate. Very Happy

We call that a king-cab out here...enough room to store gear behind the seats as well as the dog.

I just topped off the fuel tank and checked the mileage 15.2 city Very Happy

The 1998 Silverado I posted above gets 18 around town. It's the 5.7 (350 cid) Vortec engine. Soon as you get the stiffness worked out of it you should be good to go.
