I just checked it out, but I live nowheres near Las Vegas.

Thanks alot, I really like the way it sits to because I'm in the same boat as you we get lots of snow up here so i have to be able to get around in the snow. Yeah I know what you mean I think I am going to go check it out this friday so I am going to see if I can bring it into a garage and have them put it on a lift so we can go through the whole thing and really get a good look at the frame. The seller said that when it got hit it it didn't hit hard enough to kink the frame, he says everything is still in line but I mean he might just be saying that because he wants to get rid of it.

he said he bought it from a local garage that specialized in taking wrecks and fixing and reselling them. What had happened was the truck had a rollpan and someone rear ended the owner, since there was no squish room the truck hit the bottom flat where his hitch was and bent part of the frame, so apparently he bent the frame back and its all straight i guess it didn't even hit hard enough to send anything out of wack, it was just that frame lip bent. It has been inspected for 2-3 years now since the accident with no problems, Ive been looking for the SS's but they are a little bit out of my price range I'm stuck pretty close to the 9,000 range considering im only working part time being in college and so far this is easily the most truck I've found for the money. It is like he said the extent of the damage was barely anything it was just the bottom lip on the frame bent up a little bit by the bumper and the autobody guy was able to bend it back down, its just considered rebuilt because it was a cheap truck at the time it was an 04 silverado base model. I looked at the frame myself and you would not be able to tell that anything happened its just because it didn't have the cushion of a bumper. And seeing as he has no problems inspecting it it must be done well because Maine has some strict laws on inspection. What do you think would be a reasonable offer?

Yeah I went to go see it in person, I live in northern Maine myself and I work at a garage so I checked out all the brake lines and everything is find there the backing plates are in good shape pads and rotors still look good, frame is in just about as good condition as you can expect for a 6 year old truck in Norther Maine considering all the salt and calcium they put on the roads. What do you guys think about the rebuilt tite?????

Ohh i might as well post the link to the ad for the truck so you can see it for yourself. http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/1586493691.html

Yeah it seems like it has been well maintained i saw his oil change sticker and he runs synthetic oil, and the truck is very clean so i can imagine that he has taken good care of it, he told me that he has over 15K invested so i would assume that he would like to protect his investment. Since were on the topic of this truck he told me it has a rebuilt title on it. He explained to me it had the same title when he bought, he said he bought it from a local garage that specialized in taking wrecks and fixing and reselling them. What had happened was the truck had a rollpan and someone rear ended the owner, since there was no squish room the truck hit the bottom flat where his hitch was and bent part of the frame, so apparently he bent the frame back and its all straight i guess it didn't even hit hard enough to send anything out of wack, it was just that frame lip bent. It has been inspected for 2-3 years now since the accident with no problems would you guys be worried by this???

Yeah I know its not an SS, its a wannabe. The thing I am worried about is I am not sure how it has been ridden, I am pretty sure it has been ridden hard considering everything that has been done to it and he has said that he raced it before. But I figured that the 6.0L should be built to handle some abuse, I know if I buy it that I am gonna have my days where I ride it hard but I think thats normal to some extent. So I'm still confused because its on the fence when you put money into it you want to ride it hard obviously but then you also want to take good care of your investment.

Hi I am new to the site I don't even have an SS right now its just I've been looking into them and I figured this would be one of the best places to get information on them right from the people that own them. I went to go see a truck yesterday and it is an 04 Silverado reg cab short box but the guy sent me a list of mods, SS 6.0L V8 AEM bruteforce Intake ceramic longtube headers full 3" borla exhaust Detroit Tru-Track locker air bag rear suspension cowl induction hood 20" rims 33" pro-comp Extreme Mud-terrains HID (High Intensity Discharge Headlights) BRAND NEW GM transmission with a 3 year 100,000 mile warranty I went to go see it and the truck is clean it is in very good condition underneath, he took me out for a ride and it runs smooth shifts great and sounds healthy but he says the motor has got about 100,000 miles on it. Now I know that with most Chevy's thats still got a good amount of life left to it, its just with that 6.0L i'm not sure what they are usually capable of doing. I'm a college student right now and cant really afford anything costly like a motor. I was just wondering what you all think.
