The 8.1 is the "last" of the bigblocks. The base engineering is the oldschool BBC, but it runs a more modern set of heads, intake, etc. Its not an LS engine of any sort, just runs the late model injection and engine control (the 8.1 injectors WILL interchange with the early truck MultecII injectors, or the marine 8.1's).

Best I know they stopped that body style between 2000 and 2001. Don't remember if they called them "classic" or not, but you know how chevy likes to sell "last years truck" as a classic model in the beginning phase of the next gen. Either way, I really don't think its a 2003. I guess if it was a special order chassis-cab situation maybe, but I'd raise an eyebrow still.
Even so, for 2k (if its got a 4l80e), its probably still worth more in parts, so not really any way to lose.
