Wikipedia.com
 
The Chevrolet Silverado (along with its GMC counterpart, the GMC Sierra), is the latest line of full-size pickup trucks from General Motors. The GMT800 Silverado/Sierra 1500 (light pickup trucks) were released in 1998 as 1999 models. The "classic" light-duty GMT400 C/K trucks were continued in production for that first year alongside the new models, and the Heavy-Duty GMT400 pickups (alongside the GMT400 SUVs) were continued through 2000, with the new GMT800 Silverado/Sierra HD (Heavy Duty) introduced in 2001.

There are a number of models of light-duty Silverados and Sierras, including the half-ton, SS, and Hybrid.
The light-duty trucks generally use the 1500 name. They are available in three cab lengths, 2-door standard/regular cab, 4-door extended cab, and front-hinged 4-door crew cab Three cargo beds are available, including a 69.2 in (1,758 mm) short box, 78.7 in (1,999 mm) standard box, and a 97.6 in (2,479 mm) long box. The short box is only available with the extended or crew cab, and is the only option on the latter.
For the first year, only the regular cab and 3-door extended cab were available, along with the Vortec 4300 V6, Vortec 4800 V8, and the Vortec 5300 V8. A 4-door extended cab was added for 2000, and output on the 5.3 L engine increased to 285 hp (213 kW) and 325 lb·ft (441 N·m).

This tooling (I believe) debuted in the 2000 Brickyard 400 and Indy 500 support vehicles line. The all black one looks nice, I've not seen it before, that I can recall.

Pretty decent detail. I like the idea of a split trailer hitch, clever idea for locking a trailer on the back.

I really like the plain colored Silverados issued in the Bass Fishing Boats sets. It is a great casting, as is the Dodge Ram, but they are two noticeably different scales (the Ram is smaller), so they don't look as good side-by-side as they should.

I was happy to get that one for .50 cents. I am just surprised he let me have it for that much once I found it in the 2 for $1.00 box. He is not the generous type....LOL I think he was alittle too busy with the other customers to pay me too much attention. I still would like to get the blue extended cab Chevy truck from that series but you all should know how hard it is to get any of them for a reasonable price.

Now THAT was a good find, Paul!! "I like the find, I like the price......."

DEAN! Thanks for pix of all your versions, and especially close ups of all the boats. I enjoyed looking at each one. :thumbup:

GREAT set of pix... one of my all time favorites from JL. I missed out on the bass boats, but got plenty in almost all of the other versions that I came across over the years- I lost count of how many of the brownish version that came with the billboard on clearance at KB toys that I picked up. you can probably see one in every dio shot I've ever done.
