kcorona209 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 1334763216[/url]' post='839079']Thats a good catch. I didn't even notice the hood until you pointed it out. I'm even more interested to see what's up now. Yup the hood is wrong and the grille insert is wrong as well. But what is so interesting about it? For those interested, I did the Car Fax finally and found out that it was involved in two accidents. One side swipe and one front end. I dont know the severity of the front end accident but it must have been a hard one to damage the hood as well. The title is salvaged so I know it wasnt too bad. So there you have it. For all the people questioning and doubting my new truck, mystery solved. The female who drove this truck before really didn't care for it. And I have some guys ordering me a new hood and grille insert as we speak. I'll post some more detailed pic's of the truck soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said yourself that you ran the VIN and it came back "Classic 07 SS". I believe you. I, (as well as everyone else, or maybe just me) do find it interesting that someone would fix their SS with parts that would make it not look like an SS. Most people put SS parts on a non SS (clone), not the other way around. Anyway, you got an awesome truck. Good luck with it. Keep the pics coming.

Yeah by the looks of the owner I wasn't surprised she did this. I mean shes a full-time mom with 5 kids in her mid 30's. I highly doubt she knows anything at all about these trucks, she probably just thought it was another silverado. When I went to go look at the truck she still had a baby in the back seat with cheerios all over the console and floor. It was bad. Needless to say, I'm playing Captain Save a hoe and im going take good care of this truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Women like that tend to not maintain a vehicle well. I'd go through it and do a complete 100K GM major service on it to have peace of mind. Cool thing about the 03-06/07 SS' is the pieces are easily interchangeable. So you'll be able to order correct pieces and change at home. http://www.silverado...s-of-the-truck/ post #10 Being an 07 disregard the front diff and t-case Edited April 18, 2012 by Bad Ass Silvy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I defiantly dont trust other people when it comes to the truck I drive almost daily. Im gonna search the site for info on my tranny because it seems to slip slightly from 1st - 2nd. I'm thinking of getting it checked by an OBD reader to see if any codes come up, if not than im just going to drain all the fluid and replace it with Full Synthetic w/ an additive. See if that helps any. Oh and is there any meets or gatherings here in Cali? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcorona209 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 So I've been working on the truck on and off and finally got her looking how I want to more or less. I think it looks a lot better than when I first got it. <img src="C:\Users\Korona209\Desktop\Truck pix"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
