  1. One other aspect of the cost is paying the shipping for all the part, its not cheap, unless you find a local wrecked SS that you can use all the parts for your clone, most guys have to piece meal there clone together with buying parts all across the States. And if you buy all your parts and they are in mint shape your going to pay the high price for them. The other cost comes with if you do all your own work, paying to do a motor swap, painting/ suspension is not cheap. I bought parts in bundles from guys on here, ship to me and I've gone an installed and replaced some parts with the mint piece, so I a have about 70% to clone another truck if I want when I get done with this one, I just need to buy another truck. So the cheapest way I would say is to buy the truck with no rust or mechanical issues, and look in your area at the auctions for a wrecked SS, some can be a theft recovery with no damage but most of them are missing all the good parts.They don't come around to often. And do the work yourself.
  2. Yeah, no problem I was just letting you know I was still here.
  3. I like the other fake looking air vent on the fender also.
  4. These guys have them. http://www.trucktastic.com/2003-2005-chevy-silverado-ss-mesh-grille-set-by-racemesh-grilles-rm-ctsoss.html
  5. Sorry for the way I worded it but I have the front seats, I just need the floor harness. From the fuse box all the way to the passenger seat. LMK Thanks.
  6. How much for the front seats full wiring harness, from the fuse box to the box under the front seat, to the connector to the front seat and to the connector to the passenger seat? Zip code 98512
  7. Lots of different way to do this. Because your is blue, its not easy finding use blue grille. 1. Buy red one on ebay and paint it blue. 2. Find a used one on craigslist, and take the piece out and have it painted blue. The piece is glue heated to the mesh section and you take a dremel and cut around them and it can be removed from the mesh section. All 3 pieces can be separated from each other. Then to hold it back on I use double sided tape and the bowtie is bolted back in place also holds it on.
  8. Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-04-05-SILVERADO-1500-GRILLE-SS-UPPER-1157148-/191788668859?hash=item2ca77ed7bb:g:ou0AAOSwUV9WoUtq&vxp=mtr
  9. I was looking into the coilovers also. The springs are new 2 inch drop Belltech from Tony at TBSS and the spacers are 1 inch Belltech. Shocks are new Belltech also. The stock springs might be the right way to go, I don't have the stock ones, other option Tony mention was remove the 1 inch spacers and add 2 inch ones, I wonder if the ride quality drops with the spacers. I have the Nitto 555 285/35 on the back, some other on the front but want to match 285/35 all the way around. Just trying to decide what way to go with only taking the front apart again.
  10. When I got my single cab (2 wheel drive) the front was really low so I purchased a new set of 2 inch drop springs and new shocks for the front and it had 2 inch drop spindles on front, add a 1 inch spacer on both side. But from other single cabs with this installation mine looks lower than normal. Tire size is 265/35/22. Why is mine lower? It rubs when I hit dip in the road and I want to match the back with 285/35/22.
  11. I agree, I can't believe he was that stupid to go in there and not be killed. And now hes a target.
  12. After spending time researching the trucking company SGC Inc. Carrier that would not cover the damaged they did on my truck, I find the owners Stanley Smith and wife Mary Smith was charged in an extensive drug operation. http://chronicle.augusta.com/latest-news/2010-11-19/s-ga-cops-find-extensive-drug-operation-5-indicted http://jacksonville.com/news/crime/2013-08-05/story/woodbine-businessman-stan-smith-pleads-guilty-drug-charge-will-serve-5
