What a beautiful truck!! The gmt800s are amazing! I own a 2002 GMC Yukon xl with almost 300k miles and it's still going strong! Never plan on getting rid of it.
Nah, my 2003 cateye has 20k miles and it has the same color paint on the frame. I can't speak for the 99-02 Silverado's, but I'm sure they had paint on it too.
