I found the exact truck I wanted, wrecked at a salvage yard, a 2002 regular cab short bed z71 4×4 with a 4.8 and 5-speed manual. This was my first truck I got back in 2009. I replaced the smashed bedside, wheel and bent axle shaft to get the truck back on the road. I drove the truck through PA winters and more recently completed a frame off restoration with my wife, that I am lucky to call mine, who is a automotive refinisher at a bodyshop. She does the body side if things I do the mechanic side. We replaced the frame, other bedside skin, both inner and outer rocker panels and cab corners and a fender. I added chrome door and tailgate handles from LMC as well as a cowl hood, 6 in suspension lift, 2 in body lift and 35 in tires and a 6.0 lq 4 engine in place of the original 4 .8.

I still have and enjoy the truck today, I am now 28 and do not drive it in the wintertime salt of PA anymore. I would be so excited to see my truck on one of your catalogs.
