redSSclone Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I traded my fbody Camaro for my dream truck back in March. It's a 2004 rcsb silverado. It's a 4.8 2wd. Very fun truck to begin with and I saw all the potential it had and had to finally make my move. It was completely stock when I got it, and so far I have put a 4/6 drop kit on it with all brand new parts (mcgaughys drop, spindles, balljoints, belltech shocks) as well as color matched all the handles and threw on a rollpan. Interior wise I swapped out the middle flip down seat for a center console whice I love! It made the truck look nice but it wasn't enough for me so I threw some wheels on and now I made the choice to do a complete SS clone. I just picked up my complete SSS bumpers and cladding kit yesterday and I'm gonna try my best to keep track of my build on here! Im very excited to finally Be doing my SS clone build as it's always been a dream! I am also doing a full TSP 224r cam kit, 3600 stall, gears, trutrac, rear sway bar, caltracs, and lots and lots of spray to give this 4.8 some power! I'll post some pics of when I first got the truck all the way up to my current progress! Thanks for checking it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redSSclone Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks for the compliments guys! Will keep you all posted. I took some pics of the bumper hanging on, not bolted down or lined up. Just clipped the very top of the grille. Beware it is not adjusted lol just for ideas! And obviously will be repainted red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldofashow Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Not sure if your interested but there is a red SS grill on eBay color matched to your truck. would you wanna sell the black one I've been looking to find for awhile if I payed the shipping. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=291010503332 Edited December 29, 2014 by Aldofashow (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redSSclone Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I've seen that grille. And two of my clips on the grille are broken So I couldn't sell it. Unless you're okay with that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldofashow Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Damn I was hoping it was still in good shape I would buy the red one but after buying it and having it painted I would be into it for close to the price of a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
