"HD Trailering Special Equip" option?

[90 Silverado]

My 90 long bed 2wd has a receiver hitch, trailer wiring, engine oil cooler from the factory and that's about it.

My 1500 is a Z71 and came with a lame open diff. Z71 was stickers, skid plates for front diff and t case, and Bilstein shocks. I think you could get all but the stickers without the Z71 package, but don't quote me cuz I could be full of it.

Mine's plastic, I don't think it's a skid plate. It seems more for helping force air through the radiator.

It’s a Z71 and it came with a plastic one? I thought Z71’s all came with that aluminum as well. Don’t quite me either!

My front skid plate is made out of air!

For now.

It’s actually called an “engine shield” and it’s function is to shield the engine from debris. Most Z71’s I’ve seen have it in aluminum.

I have been led to believe that it's an early vs late thing.

I know they came aluminum on some 96’s.
On a side note, crazy price, but look at this beauty!
