Yeah...that is pretty jaw dropping. The cheapest I had seen was 17,500. Well, for now I'm still on the look out for parts. I have found the SS bumper for 2000 models, and that's what I was having the most trouble with.

Oh! So it does exist?!? Thank god. What key words did you use to find em on ebay? And what the heck is cladding?

I (in all honesty) would rather do that but my parents won't let me. I am 18 and legally can do so, but my parents haven't granted me permission and they said if I am going to buy a car/truck it must $10K or cheaper...no exceptons. Basically meaning if I see a GREAT deal on a car/truck and it's $10,500...I can't get it They don't want me to go off to college having to worry about payments.

Hey again, Nope, interior is just plain ole' blue (frabric) Shoot, you really think it'll cost that much for the front end, Bowtie?? Like I said, price really isn't an issue...I just didn't know it could cost that. Oh, and as crazy as it sounds, my friend and I are looking at converting to E-Power Most likely a similar set-up to that of the Ronaele mustangs that have come out. Only 300 ponies, but about 1,000 lbs/ft of torque! Aye Caramba! And if not that, maybe just an LS1 or a like a 383. Too many decisions But hey, I'm still having a little trouble finding a place that carries the outer parts I'm in search of. Should I just look for an after-market hood? Being the 2000 series, it has the ugly bubbly hood that actually goes down in the middle which is the COMPLETE opposite of what a hot-rod's hood should look like. P.S. I work at Discount Tire and got the meanest hook-up on the rims and tires (mean street tread!).

Thanks for the replies. And, I won't be buying stolen parts. I wouldn't know how to go about doing that. I'll send a PM to time2kill. I'm kinda embarrassed to post pictures. It's sitting on the original 16's and they look like crap. I won't be putting the SS emblems either. In my opinion that's wrong because it wouldn't be a real SS. But what the heck, I'll put some pics in a bit. Thanks again.

Hey guys, I'm new here (don't own an SS...yet) and just got a 2000 GMC sierra as my first car. It's the 292 Vortec (V8 of course) ext cab. Anyway, I'm looking (still contemplating) to convert it to an SS starting with the exterior. I've been searching for the past week for a conversion kit but have come up with nothing. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? I don't mind buying part-by-part, but I figured it'd be easier to do it all at once. But even now, I can't seem to find an SS bumper, roll pan, grille, hood etc. that will fit a 2000 . I know they exist because I've seen a few. Price is not an issue at all. I've got a few K that I've been saving up for the past few years of highschool. I have found the rims and plan on putting in an order tomorrow or the day after. So right now, I'm in search of the above listed exterior parts. Anyone have some links to sites that would have this stuff? Any/all help is appreciated P.S. under the hood and interior will most likely be my grad present.
