It took 3 trucks to make this one. 2005 Z71 Body. Donor body was clean no accidents or rust California/Nevada truck that was traded back in to the Chevrolet Dealer in Henderson, Nevada by the original owner in 2023. Paint is very nice. Interior is equally nice. Body was then put on 3/4 ton chassis and a 2006 Silverado 2500HD Duramax LBZ/Allison/Differential swapped in.

PPE transmission pan and service 11/23
Banks Differential cover and service in 12/23
Hellwig Sway Bar 12/23
Banks Intake
CT3 monitor
Bilstein 5100 Shocks 11/23
weather tech mats front to back.

Truck runs and drives excellent. I’ve towed my car trailer with it a few times and recently took a trip down to Florida in it. Fits all your buddies and parts etc. but can still tow just like a HD diesel truck.

Everything works. Cluster is from the donor truck so you have trans temp, glow plug lights etc. A/C blows ice cold. Has all the Z71 luxuries i.e. sunroof, heated seats, steering wheel controls, DVD player, pedal adjust, power mirrors etc.
Clear title in my name.

Only reason for sale is I bought a 1972 K20 Suburban that needs full restoration and cannot justify two toy Suburban’s.

Location:North Alabama
Price: $45,000

Can fly in to Nashville or Huntsville and I’ll pick you up or willing to split shipping cost.

This is the perfect tow vehicle. I wish I could justify it for the 3 times per year that I am going to use it.

I am biased but, I do agree it is a great tow rig. For example, I got to take my engine to the builder on a rainy day and did not have to worry about it. Seats are easy to remove so you can fill it up with all the delicate parts when hauling home a project.
