Aside from driving it to work and back 2 times a week it lives most it's life back in the woods. If these tires start to not to cut it I'll have to look into some swampers.

Malaki 2003 1500HD Build
Well I wasn't expecting to start a build thread again so soon. Especially not one for a 2003 again but here goes.
Here is my current truck (I am trading in soon) 2015 GMC Sierra (build thread) Malaki 2015 Sierra Build
![IMG_20171128_181636_093.jpg]()
I got a phone call from my father that works at a dealership about this 2003 1500HD with only 135,XXX miles that he could get me for a good deal. So I went in and looked at it and took it home to test drive. It has it's flaws but they all are normal for what it is. It has a manifold leak, Rust on the rockers and a couple dents. Nothing that can't be fixed. Dad called me a couple days later telling me someone else was wanting to buy it so I made the decision to jump on it and take on the new adventure. Here are the pictures of when I first took it home.

The interior looks immaculate. It looks like the back seat has never been sat in.

Future plans.
- Fix manifold
- Tool box
- New taillights
- Towing mirrors
- Exhaust
- Bigger tires
More to come

]The more I drive this truck the more I want to keep it. Makes me wish my GMC was a crew cab.

Haha I am sure I can find a way to justify it eventually. But If I sell it I can buy more toys for my GMC and more guns
"more guns" truer words have never been spoken.Malaki said:Haha I am sure I can find a way to justify it eventually. But If I sell it I can buy more toys for my GMC and more guns

The weather is getting nicer so I'm getting back to the woods even more now. Now this rain needs to go away. On a side note My wife and I are having our first child and I have been considering keeping the Green turd and selling my GMC for the fact that the 6.0 is a crew cab. My friends with babies all tell me I'd enjoy the extra room. So we will see as the date gets closer.

Getting some work out of the 6.0. Making it do all the dirty work. Somehow while loading my lawnmower on the trailer it came unhooked and scratched up the tailgate of the truck. Not my happiest moment but no one to blame but myself for not making sure it was hooked up properly.

I guess this is the end to another thread. I had an older couple offer to buy my truck and had cash so it was hard to say no. Sad to see it go. It was nice having such a large truck but the extra money for when Baby Beckham comes will be nice.
