They began sometime in the 2007 models. They changed the bodystyle of the Silverado sometime in 2007 and when they did, thats when the heads came out on the trucks. So 2007 to current engines have them. Just make sure you check the casting number if your looking at a 2007 just to be sure. The heads are the same as the Ls3 but they have heavier valves and different valve springs just FYI.

didn't realize there was an aluminium block 6.0 truck engine, thought they were 6.2l, also the only aluminium 6.0 i have seen out of a even close to a truck (tbss) was an ls2 with 243 cathedral heads.
L76 seems to be 6.0 with aluminium block and ls3 style heads, very rare around here..
iron block LY6 or L96 is probably what you want, got mine on car-part, search 2007+ vans

nah really ... ... you said any aluminum 6.0 motor has l92 heads,, wrong ... ls2's did not come with l92s ... there are many casting numbers for l92 heads . but if your sticking to gen IV motors, then you are correct , actually any 6.0 or bigger has l92's , iron or aluminum. .
