Thanks for letting me in. Years past I always had the square body GM trucks (79 K1500, 76 GMC C1500, and 91 Suburban R2500), but I recently picked up a 06 Silverado 1500 RCSB 2WD that previously had a 5.3 LS swapped in (originally came with 4.8L), has the strong NV3500, stock 3.42 rear end. It needs some external trim work and minor repairs like outer tie rod ends but otherwise is a good solid beast. Only problem I have is keeping traction on wet roads (which is a lot here in north Florida) when taking off from a red light.
