    New to the site

    Here's my story. I just bought my dads '99 Silverado from him after selling my S-10. The truck as almost 300,000km but you would never know it by the way it looks and runs, this truck has really been cared for from day one. My dad has been the only owner and has made a few upgrades, magnaflow dual exhaust, volant intake & hypertech power programmer. Now that I own the truck I will continue upgrading it, I was thinking about some rims and tires and lowering the truck maybe a 2/3 drop. Any suggestions on things to look for or maybe what I should do next to the truck would be good to hear. I'm not to worried about the truck mechanically, my dad has been the only owner and there have never been any problems and if anything did come up he immediately took it in for service. Its a great truck and now its mine to have some fun with.
