DKSS Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I purchased a wrecked 03 SS today. I'm new to these trucks so will be learning alot. Light front end damage but am needing some direction on where to get a quality bumper cover and grille. My father owns a body shop so I'm able to get all the other common sheet metal and plastic parts parts thru him. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Welcome to the site Derek. Congratulations on getting your truck. Have you tried a dealership for the parts your looking for? Someone around here will chime in with good info. You might want to start a thread with the parts ? in the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 You can get the bumper cover, and grille from LMC. The expensive part will be the brake ducts, they are hard to find, and those that sell them are very proud of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKSS Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yes I stopped at the GM garage today and priced everything as a worst case scenario. I can get parts with my father's body shop discount so surprisingly some stuff wasn't priced to bad but some stuff wad pretty scary. I'm going to find alot of smaller stuff at the salvage yards just leaving me with the bigger stuff (sheet metal and SS exclusive items). I will check out LMC. The brake duct stuff I knew nothing about. I got some research to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKSS Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Excluding the front cover assembly and grille I believe the rest of my parts would be the same as a standard truck right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whytry85 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 man, I actually may have a front bumper cover off my 03 I just got. will need to be painted. looks like its been repaired before so im just gonna get a new one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes everything is your basic silvi except from belt line below..... Cladding and related brackets are all exclusive to the SS.... I for one have never seen a SSS in a wrecking yard.
