97 silverado minor touches build
I figured i start a build thread finally. I have had this truck about three years and have just used it and maintained it. One of my buddies wanted my chevy grill in trade for his gmc, so i traded him a week or so ago and it has started the old domino effect and how i am wanting to make this a build actually.
Ill start with a few pics from a few years ago when i decided to debadge it. then theres some pics with the new grill. then i oredered hid headlights and blacked out some other lights. Eventually i am gonna put probably a 2-4 drop, tonneau cover, and i am thinking 17 inch ralleys. Ill keep this updated as i go, but it will be a little slow. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: 97 silverado minor touches build
Well christmas was good to the 97 this year. My brother whos always had chrome wheels on all his vehicles, has been saying to me i need to get some chrome wheels on my 97, I told him i like my ralleys.
Well long story short he found a old man who was selling 5 wheels for a chevy truck for 125 bucks that where chrome. He surprised me on christmas with them. I have always loved the ss wheels but everytime i find them people want about 300 for 4, so i think he did pretty good. I am gonna mount them tomorrow and ill post some pictures. ![]() |
