4/6 drop and a set of new "take-off" Silverado 8-lug 20's on that thing, with a set of 40 series tires.

Never seen those before, those would look pretty sweet!
But that ad says they changed the bolt pattern in 2010; that sucks!

I'm hoping that the change for 2010 applied to ALL 2500s including Suburbans. My parents just got a 2010 Suburban 2500 and it would look killer with a set of the HD 20s. I wish I had the cash for those.

I like these! If I could find a set locally I would reconsider converting mine to 5-bolt. Most of the 8 lug rims I have seen I do not like.

Looks like the 2011-12 8-lug wheels have a new bolt pattern.
(8x180mm)

I guess the 2010 and older wheels were the 8x6.5" bolt pattern.

Kinda sucks GM change the pattern when they finally came out with cool oem 20" wheels.
They're all over ebay.

How did you find that one, I have lazily been looking for a crew short bed 2wd for a while and didn't see that one???
There has been a green '00 2wd listed sporadicly locally but on the phone, the guy sounded sketchy and seemed impossible to nail him down for a time to view it, so I gave up.
He wanted $7000 for it which to me seems high.

There is one on Autotrader in CA on a lot, but I think they were asking a lot more than $7000.

FWIW, I am under the impression that GM did not build a short bed crew until '99, although I did own a '98 4x4 that was a Centurion Conversion.
I was a basic truck; 4x4, cruise, AC. I think the previous owner put in cloth seats as they didn't match too good.

I also just sold my '00 Chev SWB Crew 4x4 that was a Trailwagons Conversion.
It seemed to me that the only thing conversion about it was them dragging it through a JC Whitney catalog and adding detail" fluff".

No pictures right now, but will try to post up pictures in a few days.
