I was introduced earlier today but this will be a build post for my 2000 Silverado 5.3 V8. I bought my truck a few months ago and decided to convert it into a SS. I will be keep this post updated with any new parts. If anyone has any tips/advice I will thank you in advance.
The first is how I bought it and the second is how it looks now.

SS Clone Build

It’s been a little over a year and the truck has transformed! I was able to find out which new brackets to buy for the conversion and completely swapped the front end to a 03-05 SS front end. and the headlight brackets While in the process of that I took it up to LA with no bumper and a random red hood to look for the center console and SS seats and I bought them. I started searching beyond the forum and I made a Instagram and found people around me with the same passion so I started talking to them and I met up with them before Christmas. With there help and I was able to find more parts such as OEM SS claddings and front and back bumper from a T-boned SS. Till this day I don’t have all my the claddings since it’s hard to find separate pieces. I was able to find a all black grill and smoked head lights and tails. I was helped by my new truck friends and it was alive!!! After this I needed to paint the front end to complete the truck so I did and at the same time I bought some Intro wheels to look mean with the new look!!! Intro ID350 24x9 in the front and 26x12 in the rear The only thing I was missing to fit these wheels on to the truck was shortened the differential which I had no idea on who could do it so I asked my truck friends and they recommend someone but I still didn’t know what could backfire if I shortened it. So I thought about it for a while and decided to sell the wheels. Looking back I shouldn’t of but I could always shortened the diff before buying billets. I want to change the front end again but just the hood and grill to a 06-07 HD Cowl hood and 06-07 honeycomb grill so I bought a grill and swapped it out but now I just need the hood. A little over a year and my project is still a project to me, it’s not on nice wheels at it use to be but it’s still mine! This was yesterday night I’ll keep a update soon that way any new thing I do I’ll keep it posted! Thanks!
