GMC ftw..

because the Sierra has a "built" tranny assuming it should be good to go for a while.. and because its got the 5.3 which has a little more power than the 4.8.. also because you seem to be having a tough time finding anyone on here interested in your Vinson.

Something else to consider is that the Z-71 is going to have alot more features than the 4x4 W/T Chevy like power windows, locks, nicer seat, push button 4wd, and skid plates. I had a truck like the 03 (mine was an 06) and while it was still a nice truck, the extra features are nice to have IMO.

How do you know the Silvy is a WT package?  As far as I can tell it may be an LS.  seats should be the same in both trucks even the color.?
 
another thing, why would the chevy have "drop shackles"?

I was just assuming it was, as this is how my old truck looked when I bought it. It was a W/T with the Texas Package which did come with a seat like the nicer trucks. It did not have any side moulding which is what I was going off of  (it must have been removed on this truck) Apparently I was wrong though if the truck is all power (must me an LS).
 
To each his own but that looks pretty dumb with the front raised and the back lowered IMO. Plus you won't be able to pull a trailer worth a crap with it set up like that. But like I said, if that's what you like then go for it.  

gmc for tran's and 5.3

GMC, looks better and has the big V8.  2002 chevy trucks are a work horse.  I sold mine with 230,000 on it and it ran fine. 

i would go with the chevy i dont like the extra crome on the GMC just my opinion

i would go with the chevy i dont like the extra crome on the GMC just my opinion

its not extra, its just enough IMO
 
the bedrails would be the first thing Id remove.  and redo the exhaust.  It has clear corners and has the reflectors removed like I did to my white sierra.  it also has the more desirable 03 silverado tail lights and the Escalade handles.

Yeah the GMC because it the chevy looks retarded droped in the back.

I like the GMC. Of course I drive an '04 GMC Z71 5.3L so I'm kinda partial. I just wish I could find the clear lights like that for the front of mine.

And to each his own, but that "squattin" or whatever you want to refer to as looks ridiculous. I've never even heard of that, lol. But like I said to each his own.

The 4.8 will get terrible gas mileage compared to the 5.3.  Get the GMC.
