To start things off. This was a very unexpected build. As some of you may know I just bought a 2003 1500HD (Build thread) Malaki 2003 1500HD Build

I bought that truck to drive for the next couple years to save some money for other projects. Well right after signing for that truck my father (who is my dealer) Told me he could get me into a brand new truck for $35 less than I am paying now. Which is significant since I do not have a crazy large truck payment. So after looking things over and test driving the new truck Kayla and I decided to get the new truck as well. It actually works out well because she just got a new job that is over a half hour away so she will be driving the GMC and I will drive the Chevy this winter. I am planning on setting the 1500HD up as a work/woods truck and my GMC will be my DD.

Alright so now that story time is over lets get to the new Project! It is a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 SLE. It is identical to my old truck but it is just silver and the new front end.

I want to Black this truck out but keep little chrome accents to set off the black.

- Future plans -

- Aftermarket wheels
- New tires
- Tonneau cover
- Running Boards
- Mug flaps
- Intake
- Bed liner
- Tinted windows
- Blacked out Logos
- LED Tail lights
- Rear window decal (May stick with my flag I have on my old truck)
- I will find many more things to do to this truck I am sure

My old truck and new truck together

I got the new wheels and running boards put on. It completely changes the look of the truck. I've got some more stuff coming next week! :D

This is getting out of hand Zach....lol!

GMC looks nice.

I thought you were trying to drop debt or something when buying the older truck and planning to sell the other newer one.
That was the original plan but as you can see that didn't happen haha I wanted to wait for the 2019s to come out but the price will be high when they first come out and I want to wait for the kinks to be worked out. I had some companies that wanted to be apart of a new truck build and when dad said he could get me in a newer truck for less money I figured it'd be perfect. So here we are lol
What brand running boards are those. I thought about going full length but I think I'm liking your setup.
They are GM running boards. I love them! I haven't seen many trucks if any around here that have them.
Obligatory sub'd for updates.

Dropped it off for tint from Eclipse window tinting. Next will be LED taillights and possibly looking into getting a brush guard.

I know you're not asking but I'll recommend Ranch hand til the very end. Maybe you can get them to send you one for a review.

Thank you I will have to give them a call if this other company is not interested. I like the look of those ranch hands

I personally love their look, the new stamp looks really sharp. I have used and abused the hell out of mine and it has stood up like a champ! I had mine sprayed with Ameraguard bedliner before mounting too. Good luck either way

Malaki - Your Nuts!

Keep it up! I love your threads!
Haha yeah I am slightly nuts but I am glad you enjoy my threads. I have more planned for this truck than my previous truck. Looking to add a lot more sponsors to this one.

I am working with Luverne right now in getting one of their Baja Guards. I've heard those ranch hands can handle a beating. That'll be my next choice.

Yes another truck :lol: I went into the dealership to sign paper work for my "save me money" truck and I ended up leaving with 2 trucks. It works out because this will be my wife's truck for the winter since she got a new job that is farther away.

The tint is done and I love it. This is my first vehicle I have ever put tint on and I am very happy with how it turned out. It looks great against the silver truck.

Eclispe window tinted did a fantastic job and I'm excited to introduce them to the build.

I went with 15% in the front and 10% in the back with a brow. I honestly don't know how much I like the brow. I love the look from the outside but I am not a big fan of it on the inside. I think it will eventually grow on me though.

Looks really good. Wish we could go that dark in the front.

You didn't buy a corvette now too did you??
