T-Bag Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Welcome. Just swap out the OEM headlights to complete the total ruining of that front end hahahaha. J/k. But on a serious note you have come to the right place for help getting it back to stock. Not sure if you know this but I'll throw it out there. Since I'm doubting you have any of the OEM pieces you may also want to consider doing an 06 front end conversion since you're gonna need to buy parts anyway. What that is, is the HD hood and a different multiple piece grille. It bolts right up in place of the 03-05 grilles and hoods. As far as the bumper, check Ebay for OEM replacements, LMC truck or "SAE" parts. Just saying. Good luck.

skymynx Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Is the silverado SS bed any different then the normal beds besides the cladding. I'm gonna start shopping around this next week for the paint quotes. Just not sure if the old bed is worth saving vs buying a replacement one. The tops of the current one has so many dents and dings.

Right now I've been stopping and looking at one in my town that's for sale. I liked it, but I thought it was over priced (bone stock 130k for 13k). Had a lot of scratches on it.

Might not be ready for that, as I'm still waiting for some other projects to sell, before I go to crazy with the SS. Been up there before, sucks that it's one of the closest drags, yet still 3+ hours away for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skymynx Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Lesson #1 about this truck learned. Don't assume anything. Order new bumper cover for the truck. Of course it wouldn't have any of the factory brackets. Wasn't a fan of the bumper that was on it, but I will give it credit was at least built fairly well.

demonte1997 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Welcome! Nice to have more CT peeps on the forum. Can't believe the previous owner let such a nice truck get this way but glad you are there to get it back to where it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
