[email protected] Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) So after my truck was totaled last month and insurance finally finished their end of things I started hunting for another SS. I'd like to thank Blown 346 for pointing me to one that I missed in my initial searches, I ended up buying it Saturday and driving it 1500 miles home. No major issues on the trip, and here are a few pictures of stuff along the California coast with a truck in front of it. As far as mods, here is what I know so far before diving into the giant folder of paperwork that came with it. 454 LSX Motor with L92 Heads and Intake Baer 15" 6 Piston Front Brakes, 14.4 4 Piston Rear brakes Fully Built 4L65E Transmission with Billet Output Shaft 3000 Stall Hotchkis Sway Bars Pacesetter Headers, Magnaflow Race Mufflers, High Flow Cats, electronic cutouts Electric Fans Volant Intake Engraved "Chevrolet 454 SS" Red Valve Covers 22" Intro Wheels with Nitto Tires BSER Roll Pan Smoked Taillights Wolf Bed Liner Gemtop Flush Mount Tonneau Cover Precision Liquid Grill Tinted Windows Chrome Bowtie, SS Symbols, and License Plate Cover Diamondback Clear Headlights 06 Silverado Hood and Grill McGaughys 2/3 Drop Kit with Air Bag Helper Kit Viper Two Way Remote Start/Alarm System Only things I plan on doing is powdercoating the grill parts, switching the back end of the exhaust from a 3rd muffler to pipe with black chrome tips, switching the chrome symbols, bowtie, and plate cover to black, and swapping the stereo, HID kits, and floor mats from my totaled truck to this one.

[email protected] Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I updated the original post to reflect the mods I know so far. I will get some motor shots tomorrow, thing is stupid fast though especially for a truck. Anyone have suggestions on who I can insure something that modified with?

shawnss Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 heck yeah thats sweet. I remember that truck being for sale on the forum here awhile back.

70chevy03ss Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 That's the perfect example of how an SS should have been built by the factory!! Motor wise!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 That's pretty close yes, father and son live next to each other, son originally bought it, father bought it from him but never transferred paperwork so technically one owner truck. They both contributed to the build, it had a 408 with a blower before the 454 in it. Screen name here was Adams2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
