They had a recall on the factory gauge clusters so when the previous owner had it fixed, he paid extra for the Silverado SS cluster, even has a factory Trans Temp gauge on the lower left!! (yes it works)
Has the factory heavy duty towing package with extra trans cooler and an oil cooler, 3.73 gears, high performance suspension package (quoting the window sticker lol, it was a $32K+ truck new in 04') etc. It's a 2wd but has the same frame setup as the 4wd/SS's with the torsion bars up front instead of coil springs, 4wheel discs, has the same tbars and keys as the SS too. I'm thinking about throwing some headers on it through the factory muffler to keep it quiet but have a cutout on it, I'm dropping the rear to level it out, new intake, thinking about a cam swap with a trailblazer converter to aid in towing and some more performance. And thinking about dropping this nitrous kit I have laying here in it for fun.
Hmmpt, I never knew they offered such a thing as a 2wd w/torsion bars! Does that mean with a t-case and front axle you are fully ready for AWD if you wanted it? Same A-arms and knuckles and all that as well?
I wish mine came with a trans temp gauge - 'my' Sierra must not have come with the HD tow package.
This truck should be really handy for you to get all those parts for your Camaro project... IF YOU CAN KEEP IT LONG ENOUGH!!! 
I wish your wife luck convincing you not to make a project truck out of this one! Still, I think you should consider air overloads in the rear after you drop it.

I've already ordered a few things for it 
I'm debating if I want to go with the air springs or these other things I found that are like a big rubber bumpstop that sits on the axle when compressed. Basically acts the same as an airbag when loaded down but you don't need to air it up.
