ditto and ditto X 2.!

Just a mild suggestion: Look for an 06-07.5 Classic with the LBZ motor. Less emissions stuff than the new body style types with the latest Duramx the LMM.
Seems to be the best of the bunch...not knocking the LMM mind you.

Check the VIN of an 06. If the 8th number I believe it is, is a 2 then you have an lbz. Correct me guys if I am wrong on that.
