Re: Where are the stockers?

I have a 2000 Chevy Z71 Tahoe with aftermarket wheels on it, but I would consider it stock.

I have done many upgrades to my 4-5-6 Chevy trucks, utilizing good, used factory/OEM/NOS parts, with few exceptions. If I get real crazy, I might replace some factory bolts with the same style, but stainless steel. Maybe the disparity is in the words "stock" or "factory original".

I have viewed thousands of 4-5-6 Chevy trucks over the years that are titled "stock" only to see that there are mismatched dash knobs, later model seat belts, steering wheel, seat, foot pedals, radio, etc, to name a few.

I am not into splitting hairs, but I consider something stock, if it was available during the production years of said truck. For the most part, many of the accessories available on these truck was dealer installed from a kit supplied to the dealer.

If a truck has been smoothed, lowered, slammed, channeled, chopped, dropped or butchered, I don't consider that in the stock category. This post was intended to allow others who lean toward the stock/factory look/fit/finish, to post their trucks, not to decide what constitutes stock.

I bet a Thread entitled "What is Stock" would generate a lot of interest. In the meantime, I am hopeful that more members will post their examples of stock 4-5-6 Chevy trucks, as this thread was intended.
