DANG! Hey 468BIGBLOCK what'ya doin? "Oh, nothing just bought this wrecked truck, swapped the frame and had it painted in a few days". :burnout:

Looks slick.

Do you know how your painter prepped the bumper cap? I'd like to do mine, and the mirrors/caps also.

Re: I bought a super nice wrecked 04 silverado regular cab short bed to drive.
 

those door handles came off a 2005 chevy tahoe. the mirrors are off a 2005 suburban that were painted from the factory they were black. the upper bumper pad is off a 2005 chevy silverado that was painted from the factory it was white. you can get a new upper bumper pad that is smooth and paintable from an aftermarket suppier like keystone automotive.

Ok guys I read this whole thread and just bought a 2000 swb Silverado and it has the rear disc brakes. What do I need to be concerned with and would it be best to just disable the emergency brakes on the rear? Thanks for any input.

Re: I bought a super nice wrecked 04 silverado regular cab short bed to drive.
 

On the 1/2 ton models they had issues?

Re: I bought a super nice wrecked 04 silverado regular cab short bed to drive.
 

Thanks and the reason I asked is I heard a squeak,squeak,squeak sound today and went by my buddies shop and he put it on the lift and said it was going to need rear brakes before long so I am going to be doing a brake job soon. Anything that I need to be looking for?


Thanks PT
