2016 Short cab, Short bed 5.3L, 3.42 ,

[Takemehigher]

Just wanted to introduce myself.

 

I ordered a Red 2016 GMC Sierra base with a 5.3L, 3.42 diff, trailer package, power options ans 8" screen with back up- Pretty basic

 

I ordered it with very little options as I would like a fresh start so I could mod to my taste.

 

I'll post some pictures as I go. I have modded every vehicle I've bought but tastefully done..

 

I'm meeting with my tuning shop tomorrow to compile a list

 

Here's brief list

 

1, Do something to get rid of the steps in the rear bumper

 

2, color match the front and back bumpers

 

3, drop the front 2" and the back around 5"

 

4, Order some nice 20" wheels (

 

5, order a leather wrapped wheel( GM)

 

6, Build custom exhaust, dual tip on the passenger side

 

7, window tint

 

8, bed cover

 

9, Bed liner/Spray in bed liner

 

10, Continue the list ;)

 

 

I'll post some pictures soon. I ordered the truck Nov 5th and got it this last Friday ( Jan 29th)

 

Loving it so far

Order a rear bumper for a 2014 All-Terrian as they didn't have the steps unless you ordered the upgraded package.

Welcome to the forum.

 

 

The 6'6" bed is now called the standard bed. (short is the 5'8" and is only available behind a crew cab)

Double cabs are all standard bed.

Reg cab can be standard bed or long bed (8')

Crew cam be standard or short

I looked into that on GMPartsdirect.com. It's like $500+ plus $200 shipping. Then I still plan on painting it...

 

I'm going to the possibility of my shop modding the stock one

 

Correct Red, I ordered the shortest bed which is 79" and they call Standard bed.

Love the RCSB trucks. Make sure to post some pics when you get it.

I didn't think I would like the steps in the rear bumper but they are actually really handy. GM did a good job with that feature from a functionality standpoint.

Welcome... nice little list you got there. And yes we all love pics... thought I would show you this to put a smile on your face.. mine is a 15 silverado and I got a oem non step. And it's only available with sensor holes. So they were filled and painted.. the rear pad is the same.. and... the side brackets are different.. just a little heads up. Anyways here's the pic

Please keep us posted - and include some pics of the upgrades!

Nice. Can't wait to see your truck. I love the RCSB's!

I ordered the Silverado version of this 2016 RCSB in Red Hot, 5.3 V-8, 3.08 axle (for fuel economy), trailering package, and LT convenience group. I will add a 2" leveling kit and a ReTrax cover. I like being a little higher than the rest of the traffic. This is a replacement for my longtime companion:

 

1984 Silverado DIESEL. I am waiting for the 4.5L V-6 DuraMax to make it into production, and into a GM RCSB half-ton truck.

You could put up your bumper for trade in the classifieds here, there may be someone who will swap a non-step for your step bumper.

Thanks, Guys. Pics soon.

 

I dropped it off at the shop and they are working on the back bumper first. They disliked the step pieces as much as myself.

 

They are going to do the drop for me at the same time. Now I know why I love these guys so much. They were excited to get started on it.

Sounds like a real sharp truck! I think you're going to love the 5.3 and 3.42 in the RCSB !

[Takemehigher]

OK, It's been a while but I thought i would post the mods.

The guys at LHT Nailed it, just how I wanted it

 

Here's a run down of what the they did

 

1 lowered it 3" F and 8" back

2 Window tint

3 fill the back bumper and color match F and B

4 Side exit exhaust, dual tip and incorporated the adaptive valve ( No drone at all)

5 changed steering wheel and added radio controls

5 de badged

6 added 20" flat 5 spoke wheels

7 wet sanded and buffed the whole truck
