Looks good,

I feel that you should focus on this truck , and get that pesky blazer out of your way.

When's a good time to pick it up??

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

That's FUNNY ........ He's already sendin it to Oklahoma ....!!!!! Ok maybe not but he could if he wanted too...!

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Nice!!

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

I originally wanted to run 20/22's but decided against it, just because I use this truck for everything in the summer. I figured the size difference between the front and rear would force me to carry two spares.

Thanks man.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Looks great man, Im hving a hard time finding wheels I like in 8 lug, guess I need to swap to 5! Still want to keep my 2500 rear springs for load capacity though.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Thanks. I kept my 2500 leafs as well. If I was to do it again, I would have gone with the light duty 3/4 ton 6-bolt setup. Stronger rear end.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Here's some better pics.

I like it!

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Very nice!

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

It really looks good and I like the stance..... !

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Haha, you guys are hilarious!

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

We talked about this front air damn issue... Your truck looks naked with out it.

The price of the a arms just went up about the price of a front air damn clips and bolts....

On a side note, your a arms also come with a 88-98 front air dam , clips and bolts.........

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Nice! I guess I better get my butt in gear and polish my smoothie bumper.

I really like that truck, I've always had a soft spot for the shortbox versions of these trucks. 3 kids kinda stops me from owning one though. I agree with you on the taillights, I have never been a fan of the euro lights or whatever you want to call them. The LED's would be an improvement. I love the wheels, although I think they would look better on my Tahoe. :metal:

Here's the Tahoe. Not perfect, but it gets the job done and saves the crew from the winter.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

I know this is a old post. I just purchased a 00 Pewter OBS CCSB. I have plans to drop mine too. Just wanted to tell ya that I dig your CCSB! Do you still have it? Done anything else to it yet?

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Yeah I still got. It's not going anywhere. Thanks for the compliment. You should post a pic of yours.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

She even still hauls nicely. I haven't added bags to the rear yet, but a recent purchase is gonna require me to. :)

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

She weighs in at 6000lbs dry and I am determined to use the crew as my primary tow vehicle.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

I'm also working on some cosmetic repairs/upgrades. As I noted earlier in this thread, losing the drivers rear wheel while driving caved in the box side pretty good. I bought this truck off of kijiji for $1500, it's very clean. My original intention was to strip the truck for parts. The truck is too nice to part, it's a one owner with 245000 Km's. It is now my daily. Of course I can't leave it stock, I'll do a little build tread on it later. Still gonna swap the boxes though.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

One of the major reasons I bought the above truck was also for the GMC grill. I just think that they are nicer than the chrome Chevy versions. I found this truck on kijiji with a blown motor. Bought it for $600. I swapped the hood, grill and front bumper as well as kept the tailgate for a spare. The I relisted the truck and sold it for $775. Definately can't complain:)

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Sorry for all the posts in a row. It's been a while since updated this thread. Here's the last pic for today. Just a pic after I swapped the front end parts.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Niiiice! Keep buying, stripping, and selling for profit and you'll be in good shape lol. I purchased a ton of donor parts for mine. The helper bags will make a big difference when you go to tow something. I am definitely buying a set with the drop kit. Here is a pic of mine how she sits now. I too swapped for a GMC grill because I like them much better on these trucks. Yours looks damn good with it on there, I like it! The link is my thread with all the before and during pics (truck was pretty rough to say the least). It still needs some small details wrapped up like window tint and such, but its getting there.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Looks good! I like the lack of side trim. I'm working towards the same look. She's gonna look sweet with an altitude adjustment. You and I seem to do things the same way, good matching donor parts instead of paint ing new ones. Body shop prices can turn a mild project like these upside down real quick.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Looks sweet with the G.M.C. grill YBNORML. Truck is looking good I like the wheels too. I'm swapping my 14 bolt sf to a 2002 nbs disc brake rear end on my crew. Do you remember when you did yours what conversion U-joint you used would you have a part #. Thanks for your help.

Rob

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Thanks for the compliments.

Sorry, I don't have a part number. All I did was take both u–joints in to my drive line shop and they pulled a conversion joint of the shelf. I was actually pretty surprised at how easy it was.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Yeah I agree. I spent about $1300 for a bed, doors, hood, fenders, bumpers, and tailgate. All I painted were the bumpers. A body shop would have had to scrap most of the original panels, charged me new replacement panels at retail, then charged me with paint and labor. That could have turned me upside down so far id almost be upright again lol. I added everything up the other day. I'm in this rig for slightly under $5600, and that's including the $2300 I spent on it.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Oh my, I'm just now checking back up on this thing.. that Grille and smoothie bumper look great! Now I gotta go check out your ecsb build thread!

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

It's been awhile since I posted anything here. Truck sat most of the summer waiting for an engine swap. It's finally done.

I finally started swapping parts between the "parts" truck and the crew. As you can see the parts truck got a few upgrades over the last few months as well. After the parts are swapped I plan on keeping it as a winter beater. Here's a few pics of what the shop looked like the last few days.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

From the alley.

Both back together and on the road!

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

killer set of rides for sure!

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

That's awesome seeing them side by side. Both are very cool trucks. But I must favour the crew cab just a little more.(I wonder why??) Wish I could get mine on the road. Keep the pics coming!! Motivation.

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Lookin' good!

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

I've been having a heck of a starting issue. Intermittently the truck would decide not to start. It would fire up and run for a second or so then die. I swapped out all kinds of parts and nothing made a difference. Eventually a mechanic buddy of mine figured it out. Turns out the factory security system was activating itself whenever it felt like it. A simple bypass at a different buddies shop, everything is perfect. Picked it up last night! Man I love driving this truck!

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Up next I'll swap the front sheet metal. And then she'll be ready for summer.

Another pic from last night

Re: 99' CCSB build Family Cruiser!
 

Glad you got the starting issue sorted out. Looks good man. What you swapping up front?
