Admin Mervz Posted October 30, 2002 Admin Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 I just got in my email box 11 sketches and photos from the ORIGINAL Red Silverado SS, shown as a concept in 2000. These are super cool, and they are stuff you've never seen before, and will never see anywhere else. These pictures are directly from the Lead Designer of the Silverado SS! (Who is a fan of the site as well!) B) I'm working on getting the appropriate credits and markings on the photos, and will have the new stuff up within an hour or two..

jwest1975 Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 The rims on the red ss are the rims that they should use on the new SSS! The pic SS4.jpg shows what Im talking about the best. They look like they are high polished. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryE Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 chebbie really needs to use euro clears on the ss the regular clears look sweet as hell on the old bodystyle concept, kinda remind me of the cadillac lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Thanks for sharing these Mervz. I agree with jwest1975, the wheels look great in ss4.jpg. Nice and shiny without being flashy over done ricer wheels. For the 03 SS, I guess they tried to cover the lug nut holes with a plate and had to paint the wheels to match the plate. Give me the concept's wheels, please, I don't mind the lug nut holes I think the clear tail light fad is showing it's age, they look cliche and ricey now (I guess I see waaay too much of it here in SoCal). I like the solid reds on our 03 SS, no chrome bezels, just smooth to the body. I like the racing harness style seat belts. Although they were probably more of an image thing, they could be somewhat practical now, with the all the steering wheel buttons for the stereo and stuff. I have always been in favor of better seat belts. The black interior is cool looking , but would not be very practical. Imagine what it looks like with a bit of dust on it, not to mention how hot it gets! The dark grey of the 03 SS is an improvement for day to day usability. I looks like there is a drive shaft tunnel going between the back seats, was it lowered that much?! While alot of guys here probably prefer the lower riding height of the concept, I like the 03 SS height. It is low enough to look sporty, but high enough to be practical. I still like explore dirt roads in the mountains. Obviously, not 4x4 territory, though. When the going gets that rough, my neck get tired of being thrown around in the cab. The symmetry of the brake cooling duct openings in the front and the exhaust tips in the back is kind a neat. It is kinda fun to see how some of the thinking in the concept evolved into the 03 SS.

Admin Mervz Posted October 30, 2002 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Also, get this... there was a real fight to get the 20 inch rims on this truck, as it was supposed to have 17s!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfax Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Do my eyes deceive me or is that a black S-10 SS? Looks a lot like an S-10, to bad they didnt make one like that, would've bought it instead my Xtreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
