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
really? I thought you couldn't? I may want to try this on my 2006 GMC. When I bought it in 2008 it had 60,000 miles. Today it has 170,000. Back then, 2008, I was told you couldn't.
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!
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
Just incase your interested, someone makes a shifter relocation kit to move it to be in the left cubby side of the 03-06 full center consoles next to the cup holders that looks super sick. Just incase you may of wanted to console swap it
Just got a 01 Silverado regency myself for 800 runs and drives damn good has its little Probs but over all real good! Didn’t know they came manual sick as heck my man🤘
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.
Love to see this. I got a 96 ram Indy 500 unfortunately dmv marked it salvage title and I asked and they said they had to even tho the truck is in clean shape without any damage besides paint chips…. I’m going to go get a rebuilt title so I can transfer it to different states also cause some don’t take “salvage” titles
My buddy had a 99 Silverado and his cluster took a crap like all those models did and the only way to get the miles is to possibly flash the BCM but lots of those trucks store the miles into the gage cluster itself so it’s kinda a crap shoot in itself 😅
Don’t really work on carfax. It says my 96 ram Indy 500 is a base model but the FACTORY dealer paperwork I have for it vin matched shows different and shows it’s a true Indy 500 ram 1500.
Dude don’t assume go and actually check it out to make sure before you even say anything bud I do like you contact until that Stang showed up lol definitely keep watching as long as it’s gm’s 👍🏼

If you hook up a snap on scanner it’ll show you the mileage and vin from that pcm
was just coming here to comment this.
Same lol
Guess we all planned on commenting the same thing😂

I just tried this with my 02, the odometer was out and the snap on scanner would not tell me mileage. I fixed odometer and then it told me

Damn you went back for it lol this is gonna get interesting!

Time to have a completer rebuild and maybe first truck ever painted!?!?
Can’t wait to see the progress on this
Perfect platform for a Turbo setup with the 4.8L.. good compression and these engines make boost and rev higher that other LS engines
Just incase your interested, someone makes a shifter relocation kit to move it to be in the left cubby side of the 03-06 full center consoles next to the cup holders that looks super sick. Just incase you may of wanted to console swap it
Definitely excited to see a single cab v8 manual build. Keepem coming!
I bought brand new in 05, reg cab short bed, 4.8 5speed 4x4…. Wish I’d never got rid of it. If only I’d knew then how rare it was.😭
Just got a 01 Silverado regency myself for 800 runs and drives damn good has its little Probs but over all real good! Didn’t know they came manual sick as heck my man🤘
You should put a full center console in it
I’m glad you bought that because you can do a build series on it.
4.8 stick shift! It’s kinda like Leroy from Cleeter but a truck! Can’t wait to see it boosted
Actually glad you went back and got it. Regency is a rare package along with Remington and otheres.

Keep up the good work 👍.
Still a sweet truck. 4.8 V8 5 speed. I dig it. Glad you changed your mind. 😊
Welcome to the 5 speed Silverado/Sierra club!
Hopefully this can be the first c notched truck on the channel
Pull the mid lead spring and just do all cheap mods if anything to pimp it out. Bondo those areas and wrap it
And exhaust ofcourse
This is good content, not brand new so we can watch a bunch of videos of you fixing it up
Time to give it the lmfscrew magic touch
The deep clean video is going to go crazy
Possibly check vin history and see what oil change places put on the miles when it had oil changes or work done at the dealership
OLD VERSION OF SHORTY AND CHOMPER MIXED?!
Chorty
Shomper
Okay I'll see myself out
When adding captions in the videos, please make the time the text is on the screen longer! Keep up the great vids!

"Piece of dookie" had me rolling. LOL
Really looking forward to this build!!
This is gonna be a great rebuild to watch.
You need a lift in the shop asap!!!
I can’t wait to see what you do with this…
It was turned into a fake work truck 😂 I’m excited for this build!
Totally not laying in bed eating ice cream watching this 🤣🤣
My buddy had a 99 Silverado and his cluster took a crap like all those models did and the only way to get the miles is to possibly flash the BCM but lots of those trucks store the miles into the gage cluster itself so it’s kinda a crap shoot in itself 😅
Bro so excited for this!! Hell yeah
Love the vids man can we see some more 6.0 content? And you are my inspiration for working on trucks keep it up
i hope your using heel toe in that . Glad to see the content mobile shredding !!!
This is going to be an awesome build!
that’s like buying a denali with everything stripped and replaced with base model stuff and selling it as a denali 😂
4.8s sound really damn good, straight pipe that thing
Hell yeah they do i got a blue 04 extended cab stepside with a 4.8 auto with a super 40 dualed out sounds good af
Hell yea man love it
This is awesome, and you're awesome for buying it.
I believe a proper scanner can pull the mileage
Buy a 2000 s10 with the 4.3 !!!!
Those things are so fun to drive
I used to have a 01 single Short box 4.8 4x4 that was a Dale Earnhardt edition, so regret not keeping it
She’s rowdy mini Chomper it would look sick if you did everything to it like Chomper.
You might be able to type the vin into carvana because it automatically put the exact miles i had on my truck after i entered my vin
Keep the great work man there a guy still make dash part and grauges curster
Looks like a good burnout truck
Kinda excited for this one
HUUUH? LOL WASN'T EXPECTING THIS
I do like this idea of buying a clapped out truck to do a true rebuild, it’s a fresh sense of content
I'm so happy you bought it 😂
I really think your channel needed a good ole shit box💪🏼 I’m excited about this one
need a lifted single cab build fr
yes
You've got your work cut out for you! That things a bit more rough around the edges!
That "shit box" is cleaner then 95% of gmt800 here in wiscon😭, be over 4-5k here
It’ll have the correct miles in the pcm hook it up to a scanner
Odometer 229,396 carfax reports it’s a base model truck.
Don’t really work on carfax. It says my 96 ram Indy 500 is a base model but the FACTORY dealer paperwork I have for it vin matched shows different and shows it’s a true Indy 500 ram 1500.
ABOUT TIME!
i need some help plz i need advice on what i should do to my truck can u help
Good luck, it should be fun.
It going to be worth it’s trust me, mine was the same if not even worse with no Interior there like legos 🥶🥶🥶
I would love to see you get a ss cateye chevy silverado
Did they just part out this whole truck for extra cash? 😂
They massacred my boy!
Gotta risk it for the biscuit
3in keys, some Qs, and drop the back down😼 dig rig
Looks like it’s gonna need a LOT of work
Dude don’t assume go and actually check it out to make sure before you even say anything bud I do like you contact until that Stang showed up lol definitely keep watching as long as it’s gm’s 👍🏼
All over hyped trucks no gains
No wayyyy you got it
In WV that things mint worth 5 to 9k here
You should do a quad steer bed
I think I’m just excited about build just like u I’m v8 swapping my 4.3 to 5.3 and going be sweet just like ur when get it build
No evidence it was a regency dude lol
Just a thought have you ever thought abt doing a giveaway truck maybe like Shorty?
Car fax would give you the mileage
AWESOME 🙌🔥🔥
I love this!
A little rough but I see the potential
i hate to be this guy but um dont rest your foot on the clutch move it to the side till ur ready to shift it will save your clutch bearing
Can you wrench? find a pull out 6.0 shove a truck norris cam in it some ebay longtubes and go rip it.
In our new country Oofland its cheaper…
Please cateye swap it and put a built 5.3ls with a big cam are 6.0ls and make it a street build would be a good platform

Never seen a single cab Regency
Lowered?
denim would be proud
I have an oem rst wing of my 05 Silverado rst color black if you’re interested I can ship it to you
Could be a regular gmc but just manual, interior and badge swapped
That’s not a real regency looks like swapped interior and a badge
If you git a different body on it It will be awesome
5 grand for that my gawd people are nuts
Was listed for 6 and def didn’t pay anywhere near that lol
@@lmfscrewcateye swap it
Oh this is gonna be good
Restore it to an accurate regency and then lift it a little
so they were right it’s not a regency 🤣
nothing of the regency even exist not even the frame after the next few videos 😂
Looks like someone just didn’t like the looks of the truck but the cab and replaced everything else to look like a normal truck 🤦🏼
