Default Getting a new truck, need some info

Hey guys, I went and looked at a 2003 silverado 1500hd the other day and i am going to get it. 6.0 motor, fully loaded, leather interior. Picking it up next week. I cant wait! This should be a nice upgrade from my 92! Where are some good places to get accesories for these trucks. Probably looking to get some step bars, vent shades, the common things. What accesory do you have on your truck that you love? Heres a pic of the truck.

Remember one thing with accessories, less is more. If you put to much crap on a truck, it turns it into a drivin billboard.

IMO to make it look cleaner, I'd take that moldin off down the side, take off te 1500hd badging, 4x4 sticker would come off, and camper would come off. I paint the flares, top bumper cap on the front, paint handles, add a billet grille and paint the emblem as well

Not sure what you have now as far as motor goes. I have the 6.0L in an 08 1500 w/ 4x4 and 3.73. I am definately no stranger to the gas station - conservatively driving (11-12mpg city, and 15-17mpg highway, 13-14mpg combo). Since mine has 71k miles on it, and I had an intermittent check engine light common with an o2 sensor, i replaced the plugs, o2 sensor, and did a intake and fuel treatment. I am taking on the the highway (average 75 mph) and see if there is any improvement. Much improved on power and driveability. God bless sea foam!!
