2004 Silverado 3500 Single Wheel

ChevyHDGert · July 1, 2003

Do those rims look different? They look like 6 spoke rims, I thought they were 5 spoke rims. Otherwise, it looks just like the 2500HD as expected.

Also the 1500 Crew Cab Z71 with 17" wheels and Silver color

Those wheels are different. I think the 3500 SRW will be available as a regular cab as well. My next new truck....... BTW- what size tires are on the 3500 SRW?

Guys, look for a FULL 2004 model year preview here THIS WEEK! With even more pictures and info.

Mervz,

I am sure that you already have this covered, but just a couple of things I would love to see some clarification on:

-The new colors (Silver Birch, Sandstone, and Sport Red). The GM Buy Power window isn't worth s*** to see what they look like. Do you have any pictures?

-What size tires will the HD's come with, and does the 3500 have different size wheels/tires than the 2500HD?

-Since when have we had a leather bench seat option?

I am looking to buy a 2004 Chevy D/A CC SB and would like to see what the new choices are.

Thanks again.

I heard that the 3500 SRW will have 16"x7" wheels with 265/75 tires and extra leaf springs which is why the rear end looks taller.

I'll see what i can dig up guys. But that 3500 single wheel is looking good to me. It would replace my S-10 quite nicely.

Here is what I can tell you from reading the GM Media site.

-3500 is a mid year introduction, so does that mean around the first of the year??

-So far, all models will still carry 245's on 16x6.5's. However, since the 3500 is a mid-year intro, they prob will introduce the 265's on 16x7's for those. To keep the lines seperated, I bet they don't have the new tire/wheel combo available for the 2500HD's. Maybe so though.

-The 3500 will only be available in long box or chassis configurations, with regular, extended cab, or crew bab available. No CC/SB combo's like the Furds, which is what I wanted.

Not a whole lot of ground breaking news, but thats what GM is releasing for media (and enthusiast) information.

I would be super happy if I could just have a front 3/4 shot of a CC/SB 2500HD in Silver Birch, Sandstone, and Sport Red. I am hoping the Sandstone is one of the colors blessed with same-color fenders and side accents. Anyway, enough rambling.....

Work your magic Mervz.......

Might have to buy a new HD...

Ok, so whats going to be the difference between a 2500hd and a srw 3500? I thought that the 2500hd was a srw3500.

It's gonna be a tough time for you guys who are past the half way point in your loans. Those new trucks are really nice. My truck is only 10 months old and I still love it but three years from now I'm gonna be chomping at the bit for a new one.

Will it be a big block gasser or will I finally break down and go DMax. Nice problems to have arent they.

Here is some info on the new '04 colors and there fender flare/ body side molding colors.

- Silver Birch Metallic will have matching color flares/ moldings

- Sandstone Metallic will have matching color flares/ moldings

- Sport Red Metallic will have BLACK flares/ moldings (if you want to see this color, go take a look at the '04 Pontiac Grand Prix, Sport Red Metallic is an available color)

If I find out more, I will post.

I also just noticed that the 1500 crew cab has the 6 lug suspension. Will the 1500 cc be running the 6.0/4l80e or the 5.3/4l60e. Also, will the 1500hd still exist?

antig24 · July 10, 2003

From what I heard the 1500HD will become the 2500 crewcab.

bowtiebob · July 11, 2003

Ok, more questions about these colors. The 3500 in the top two pics looks like a different color than the Crew Cab in the bottom one. I am pretty sure that the Crew Cab is Silver Birch, so does that mean the top 3500 is shown in Sandstone?? I had thought Sandstone would be a more tannish color, but we know its not Silver Birch and not Sport Red so...........
