[Wtfan18]

most recent pictures taken last week










*updated with MORE new pics*
hey all as many of you know i sold my 98 to start off with something a little newer and a to go a little bigger. well i happened to be looking through auto trader 2 weeks ago and came across a 2005 SBRC RST silverado in new hampshire, well needless to say i traded in the escalade ext i had gotten on trade for my 98 and i now own the RST. its a 2005 5.3 with 43k miles. here's a few pictures. future plans for the truck will be a swap to the 04 lq9 i bought out of an ss silvy with 40k miles ill be doing the l92 swap full boltons and a shot of nitrous most likely. i think ill run the 5.3 this summer as it has such low miles id almst feel bad tearing it out. but anyhow heres a few pics. let me know what you think. oh and funny enough i bought it at a ford dealership

Hate the chorme handles. Love the lower valance. Over all looks damn good man.

Nice other than the door handles.

How do/did you like those bfg g-force tires? I'm looking at getting them in 285/60-18 for my new wheels.

i liked them a lot actually im thinking about getting another set for the RST as it comes stock with a 50 series tire which is WAY to much sidewall for my liking. they are expensive tires though your wallet might not like you.

the handle to the door is actually like an escalade handle but some dumb ass put the chrome plastic stick on cover over the bezel of the handle im going to pull the chrome cover off as its color matched underneath whether i change the handle itself im not sure yet.

thanks for the comments guys its exactly what i wanted just never thought id find one for this price.

looks good, but like everyone else said - no no to the handles. and i personally dont like the front bumper. you should get the ss bumper cover
