Finally got some pics of my truck

SilverCrew · March 12, 2005

This truck has been a work in progress since December. Many of the ideas came from this forum so thanks.

I never did post pictures of the finished product (well...actually it's not finished because I still haven't received the f'n door handles I ordered 3 months ago from streetinspiredkustoms.com)

So far I have:

debadged it

removed factory moulding (hideous) and replaced with GMC moulding

tinted windows

tool box/rails

green keys and torsion crank

OEM Chrome H2 rims w/ 315 BFG A/T's

Bilstein shocks (helped the ride tremendously after the torsion crank)

chrome mirror caps

pcm4less tune (awesome)

On order:

Putco Shadow billet grille

Colormatched door handles

Wanted:

Magnaflow Cat Back SS exaust #15789

Anywho...gimme some feedback, and maybe some suggestions on what to do next. The truck is pretty unique in my neck of the woods, but doesn't really stand out in the crowd of awesome rides here.

Thanks.

Nice truck! I like what you've done already. Keep up the good work!!!

SilverCrew · March 12, 2005

So I'm thinking I want to remove the 4x4 stickers, clear the fronts (maybe some HID lighting) and get the bumper cap and lower valence painted silverbirch.

What do ya'll think?

Good job man, looks real nice (been contemplating the debadging and moulding removal myself )

SilverCrew · March 12, 2005

Yah, i guess hideous is a strong word........i meant MINE was ugly because it was all lumpy in places. My burban is the exact same way. I think i'm gonna do it next.

Very nice, the hummer rims go nicely with your truck. Clearing the front lenses looks so much cleaner.

antig24 · March 13, 2005

Nice, I like the rims

How did you remove the molding? Was that a do it yourself job or something you had done? That looks really good.

jerneedog · March 14, 2005

Looks great...I don't care for the Silverado moldings either, I like the GMC's molding

more...that and the grill is the reason I went with a GMC.

Love what you have done to your truck.

So far I've done everything myself...except the rims and tires of course. All the trimming, torsion key replacement, debadging, demoulding, etc I did in my garage.

I just got the moulding started and pulled it right off. Left some hella adhesive on the side of the truck which I got off with a hairdryer and some goo-gone. It was tedious and wore some blisters on my fingers but it came off.

Thanks for all the compliments.

Very nice truck, looks great!

The chrome mirrors and GMC molding looks SO MUCH BETTER......

Dropped her off at the body shop today....getting the bumper cap, tailgate handle and bowtie painted Silverbirch. My grille should be here Friday, and I'm waiting to get my money back from streetinspiredkustoms.com so I can order some esky handles.

The painter didn't seem too comfy painting all that plastic. I hope it turns out decent

Nice truck! I didn't think the molding would make the big of a difference, but it makes the truck look alot better. The pic I like the best out of all of yours is the one with all three of your rides in front of the shop.
