Yep, I paid mine off twice:( This time it's staying that way... That would be a fun truck for sure, to bad I'm still stuck in this frozen hell hole...

It's fun to drive for sure.

I love my regular cab for every day driving. I have thought many times of getting rid of it for a crew but I just can't bring myself to do it being a regular cab is so much fun for every day use. A crew would be really nice for going to the lake but I just make someone else bring a car along and I tow the boat.


I don't mind it for daily driving until someone rides with me and I have to move my gym bag to behind my seat, or go to my grandparents house with my ole lady. Because I'm not driving her cruze down that 12 miles of the worst gravel in Arkansas.

It tows the boat like it's not there and can't complain about that any!

Well I think you guys have helped me with my decision. I'm gonna fix a couple things on it and get the roll pan painted and list it for sale..

Look for it on the forum in a couple weeks.

Jason maybe we could do some trading on your lbz ;)

Trading on an LBZ huh...

I just put a southbend dd feramic in mine, 38 miles on it lol. I'd say you would want a crew cab auto though wouldn't you ?

I'd rather go to an auto truck. Wife won't drive a standard or learn it so it kinda puts a damper on tow rig :(

Found a 2005 Silverado reg cab 4x4 automatic, fully loaded as far as regular cabs get. Only 25k miles on it. Truck looks brand new. Any idea what it's worth? 100% stock, never tuned, lifted or anything.

Reg cab prices are more scattered than any other Duramax from what I have seen. I seen an 04 lb7 with a lot of money in it sell for 10 grand. And then a bone stock 2006 manual everything with 30,000 less miles than the lb7 be listed for $20,000! Not sure what it actually sold for though.

For that truck, i would kind of think that it would be a lot better on the engine if it had been used or driven at least a little more. But everything is worth what another will pay. id imagine the owner of that one would want over 20k, maybe even steeper side. What is the asking price ?

Asking price is 28k CAD so roughly 24k USD.

Truck also comes with a newer western plow and full sized v body bed spreader (I've got no use for either of these but figured I could sell them).

It doesn't look like a beat up plow truck so not sure what the previous owner used it for. Everything is closed today so I'll have to talk to the dealer tomorrow.

Andy I'll swap you trucks if you drive down here :)

Has the truck been a plow rig it's whole life and never been actually drove? I would def check it for rust issues if it's had a spreader on it. I don't know what an Allison would do with 25k of parking lot plow miles.

I'll definitely consider driving down there, just need to get a passport. You're getting the body fixed up and roll pan painted?

Ya as soon as I have time to get to one of the body shops and talk to them. I've been collecting quite a few parts for it that Ive gotta find time to install. Got a billet 366, profab manifolds and up pipes, egr delete and y bridge, 45%s, Pcv reroute stuff, need to get a set of studs and gaskets bought before I tear into everything. I've pretty much decided to keep it for a few years and buy an lmm.

Well heard back from the dealership and the truck has spent it's life as a plow rig. The dealership has owned it since new and has used it to plow their lot. Not sure if this is bad or not?
