New to the site. Just wanted to introduce myself. I recently picked up a 2004 Silverado 1500 Z71 project truck..transmission is toast. I plan to rebuilt the transmission in the near future and put some new carpet in it and clean up the interior. It's in pretty rough shape at the moment. I'll post more as I make some progress on it. (Located in Oregon.)

Welcome from Texas! I'm also a new member. Great looking Z71. I always loved that shade of blue. I'm assuming it has the 4L60 transmission? I look forward to hearing how the rebuild goes!

Looking forward to the transmission rebuild, too.

Great to have you here.

I forgot to ask, is that an Oregon truck? Always like the "no rust" effect.

Yeah it's a 4l60e. The color is a Grey. Looks almost greenish..not sure about the color code.

It's from Sweet Home and it wasn't treated very well, but it's got potential. Minimal surface rust on the undercarriage but body has no rust.

Yea, I moved here in 1995 and had been in shops in KC, Mo and here for 40+ years and when I walked out in the shop I was working at, I noticed "no rust". I thought I had died and gone to heaven.

If you have questions, please post here but you can message me too. Like a tool loan or something.

Very nice. What kind of mirrors do you think you'll put on it?

I am also working at a shop in JC, if you need anything.

Probably just factory mirrors.

Welcome from Indiana, truck looks clean in the picture.

Put some new carpet in today and got the interior put back together. Anybody recommendations on good seat covers? I'm kinda leaning towards the Rough Country covers.

I really like those Rough Country ones, where do you buy them now, I cant find them again.

I found them on Amazon.

I have seen the Rough Country covers on a couple forums. That is the way to go IMO.
