57peppershaker Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi Gents After over a year of being a member, guess its over due to post what I've got & been doing I bought this 1 owner 04 2wd Crew Cab last year, had only covered 125k. This is how I got it. Its very clean with only a few minor parking scuffs ect. 1st thing that had to go was the side step bars. An immediate improvement. Then the original alloys were swopped for a new old stock set that I picked up for use on my previous truck ('00 Sierra ext cab) Along the way the exhaust was replaced with a Flowmaster system to give it a nice burble. A bed cover added and the front bow tie badge repainted FTO Orange. Silverado's are pretty scarce here in England, Crew Cabs even rarer.

57peppershaker Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Roll on a few months n some parts have arrived The stock 16"s were swopped out for SS rep's with stock size tyres. Then I found out stock SS tyres are too tall for a lowering job So lower profile tyres were ordered as it had to go lower ! I spent a long time looking at 3/5 drop kits. Various reports had said you do need / you dont need to C notch the chassis. I spoke to the Belltech guys who advised as I wasnt hauling loads, its a weekend driver not a work truck, I wouldnt need to notch. A few weeks later the 3/5 drop kit & upgraded shocks arrived to replace the original parts. It was totally stock when I got it. And this is how it sits now ! Absolutely love how the suspension & wheels have transformed the truck A few more mods are planned, as & when cash is available. The rear bumper needs replacing as its dinged / twisted. Im going to colour code the new one. The front is also dinged & scraped so I'm looking to replace with a SS rep front cover and colour code the chrome grill bar.
