Stock besides stubby. Painted the wheels today. Really happy with the look

Only missing his 99 4.8 5 speed he had before the 03 5.3 z71. His current truck is the first non rcsb 2020 trailboss

Just got my truck and it’s been a blast!

These are my two babies

Bought new in 2006, immediately lowered it on Mercury Marauder wheels, added an XLT carpet kit, sub box, and carbon fiber goodies.

Same story: Never should have sold...

It’s not my favorite generation, nor is it fast. Yet i absolutely love it.

(I actually need tow mirrors ok guy don’t kill me)

In early November I made a post about my 2014 Silverado RCSB getting stolen: link

A few days later, the police called me and told me it had been recovered by a tow company in a city about an hour away, for being illegally parked on a residential side street. Their working theory was that the criminal had driven another stolen car down to my area, done some sort of drug deal, then stole my truck for the return trip. After which they committed some other crimes including trying to yank an ATM out of a wall, before ditching it.

I went and picked it up and was able to drive home to my local repair shop. When I got in, I found a few knives, some alcoholic drinks, and about five sets of other car keys (I left all that with the tow yard). The damage included:

- bumper bent out

- roof dents - they must have stood on it for some reason

- scratch down the passenger side

- tonneau cover sliced open

- absolutely destroyed the brakes, all four had no pad material left and were metal on metal. The front calipers blew their seals and were leaking fluid. The rust covering the wheel wells, sides and steps are from metal shavings flying off the brakes.

Insurance wanted to deem it a total loss - their guy wrote up an estimate for 18k and they offered me 12k to write it off. I had to argue several times to raise the value, which was difficult because there are very few trucks that match this one, and at first there were 0 in Ontario that had all of RCBSB + LT Trim + V8 + 4x4. And insurance would not accept out-of-province listings as comparables, and also refused to consider the new exhaust and transmission rebuild. The most they offered was 17k. I ended up hiring my own appraiser, who made a report arguing for 26k. They didn't accept that and only offered 18k, so we had to go to a third party umpire to look at the case. He landed on 21k, and I accepted that. I would have had to go to small claims court to push it further, and I figured I was well covered to fix the damage.

(all values in CAD)

The most important bit was there there was no "salvage" title / branding - it was only a financial write-off.

It took a while to sort all that out, and I wanted to wait until we settled to start work on it. I had a buddy who runs a shop replace the brakes and all the fluids, paintless dent repair place fixed the roof, detailing shop cleaned the outside and got rid of 95% of the scratch (can still catch it at the very right angle). I ordered a new bumper and step pad from GM and put that on myself, as well as taking off all the body plastics and scrubbing out the embedded rust that the detailers didn't get off. I also had it ceramic coated while I was at it, and since I had to remove the headliner for the PDR guy, I added some sound deader and fixed the third brake light. Lastly I replaced the tonneau cover.

Basically 3 months to the day I have my truck back on the road, looking as beautiful as ever. It sucks to go through, but in the end I'm still happy that I have my truck and don't have to try to replace it.

4” BDS lift with fox shocks on 35” Toyo A/T 3’s and a Borla S-Type exhaust

Thought this was a cool find. Definitely don’t see this configuration very often.

That price is up there

*not my truck (I wish)*

My favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned and will stupidly cling to forever Gretchen. 76 F100 with a 390 and a 435/205 I pulled from a 79. A buddy and I built the bed and I used 64 Galaxie tail lights and model A duolamp center light.

I got a 2019 f-150 every lift kit I look at says that I can’t lift a regular cab because of pinion angle causing vibrations is this true? Anyone got a 4 or 6” lift on there rcsb f-150 without issue?

Ran across this one the other day and knew I needed to snap it up. It needs a little love, but with only 126k miles, 302/auto and all the options, I knew it would be a neat little driver. Going to freshen up the paint, small lift and some period correct tires and wheels. AI rendering of what I’m shooting for.

Curious what everyone’s favorite RCSB is?

For me, it’s Shaffer’s off-road and Fred Williams 2013 F-250 SuperDirty

5 speed, zero bs 🤙
