New deal completed....Silver Streak is here
Said goodbye to the 99, signed papers, and took delivery on the 01 tonight.
Initial thoughts..
* like the umph of the 3:73's at lower rpm throttle stabs
* love the feel of the Bilsteins.
* dont care for the ashtray/change dish design one bit.
* will most certainly miss the wallet 'cubby' under the gearshift lever
* Driver's side OH SH*T handle must go (add gauges)
* like the double decker visors
sorry for the grainy images...

Congrats on the new delivery!

Nice looking truck.
Hope it stops raining sometime soon.
I may go and look at your old truck this weekend with the wife.
and see what they want for it.
Did you have a problem with Tom Wood on 96th & Keystone, and that is why you went the 40 miles?

Alright I know you will love the new ride and of course the color. The thing that i get a chuckle out of is, when my truck is dirty....people STILL tell me how good it looks! That NEVER happened with my black truck! I agree with all you said about the new and improved Lightning. I could REALLY tell the difference with the new shocks and recommend any and all 99/00 owners to invest in a set

Unless they've changed it from the 2000's, just pull that little ashtray out of there and throw it in the trash. You'll have a second cup holder. Am I wrong, has it changed?

Sorry, but unfortunately you can't order a '99 cupholder/ashtray. Tried that last year, and they have gone the way of the Dodo. Got to find it at the wreckers. They are a direct swap, however.
