I had the opportunity to buy a low mile RST Chevy when I was barely 16. I didn’t know what it was and my dad said it was a Mexicans truck and wouldn’t let me buy it lol. Excited for the build

Between my brother and I we have 5 4.8 5 speed Silverado’s, it’s all we keep in the stables. We’re also from southern TN so when I saw this truck pop up on marketplace, I almost went to look at it. Very glad you got it. Them 4.8s with the 5 speed make very impressive dyno numbers and really wake up, like any LS, to cam swaps. If you have any questions on the platform let me know! Congrats on the purchase!

I bought an 04 sierra single cab short bed v8 4.8 Just like this one. All original only issue it was beat to s*** as the previous owner was a handy man and didn't really care for scratches or dents. I have invested hundreds into it. Nice reliable truck takes me everywhere it's fun to see the progress of your work. Have fun rebuilding it!

@chuckplainview40859 күн бұрын
Its an alright truck even if it's not a regency. I think this probably started off as a regular sierra and then someone started replacing parts one by one, just based on the cluster alone. If you run a snap on tool on this and the odometer and that cluster match, it absolutely is not a regency. Depending on how many owners it's had its possible it got stripped and remade with more regency and oem parts a couple times. Or it's an actual one that was owned at some point by someone who had no idea what it was or just didn't care. Either way if you got it for a set of graps and a little cash I think you got a good deal even for a regular sierra

I thought the same thing but the same person who did that janky job on the entire rear of the truck isnt gonna hunt down all the exact engine parts for a regency 😂

It's almost as if someone wrecked this truck, began parting it out, then someone tried to save it but couldn't locate parts. My buddy in college had one of the Chevy branded RST trucks. It was super fun, not overly fast, but it was loud and it TURNED HEADS.

Regency conversion used carbon fiber weave and epoxy to make their bezels and console pieces etc that truck itself appears to have been the lowest trim most of the rsts retained dash bezels and gauge cluster along with the regency shifter
@benhartley71229 күн бұрын
I hope it is a true Regency truck. Either way, it’s gonna be good. Good candidate for a turbo. The 4.8 does better with boost than the 5.3, so don’t listen to those fools. I thought the RST trucks had billet pulls in the door handle, but I looked and they did have the chrome ones from the factory.
