Chevy Silverado SS

So I'm thinking about buying a SS. I haven't owned an extended cab truck in a while so I'm a little concerned about that. Then again I rarely drag people around town anyways and who cares about comfort. I'm not sitting back there right? LOL... I have a 4 door sedan so If I needed a "real" back seat I have that.

I'm pretty sure they get terrible mpgs (especially the all wheel drive ones), but I don't care about mpgs as it's not a daily driver. I don't tow a lot of weight so I'm thinking it should get the job done...

Has anyone here owned one? Would you buy another?

I can't figure out what hell I want. The new silverados don't excite me enough to get back into payments. I'm starting to think an SUV is pointless. I thought about buying F250 with a 7.3 but then I just know I'm gonna start modifying the hell out of so it doesn't look so old and dated..... And I just sold a lifted truck as they're a pain in the ass to own.:blah::bangmyhead:

This might be the right next truck... I dunno

Extended cab is the way to go. Just don't get a quad cab short bed, waste of a truck in my opinion. I've go an 02 2500 extended cab standard bed. Still a fairly long truck for everyday driver but sure is nice to have a quasi back seat and a full bed.

I've had 4 crew cab trucks and I rarely ever had people in the back seat. I've been looking at 05-07 1500 crew cabs but I'm not a huge fan of the baby bed. Then I sit there and think, "Now what can I do to it so I won't walk out into a parking lot and be confused to which one is mine". My buddy went from a crew cab to an ext cab about a year ago and swears its the best decision he ever made. lol... However his is a work truck. I want something "fun" to drive. My Cadillac is just whatever, but it was bought to be a commuter so no big deal... I wan't something that does burnouts and pisses off old people. :thumbsUp:

I did a 6.0 conversion Motor on this...Makes about 415 HP.....Fun daily driver

I still love that truck :yes:

Nice. I plan to put a huge cam and etc in mine! I spent a few hours on the SS forums last night learning about them. I have some more research to do, but I'm 98% sure this is the truck I'm gonna buy!

This is gonna be a fun build once I find one...

What did it have originally was it a pretty simple swap? I have a 6.0 and i have been told the 6.2 is a direct swap including computer. What did you have to do to get 415 hp from the 6.0?

Your truck is pretty f'n clean! Post more pics! What size tire, wheel and drop did you go with? I think I'm gonna have to bag the rear for when I tow....

BTW- If anyone knows of a clean black SS, 2wd (not a deal breaker), under 100k miles and preferably unmolested let me know. ... Silver Birch is my 2nd choice color, but it would have to be priced well.

Lowered 4" in front 6" rear...C notch frame with rear air bags. 20" wheels....Air bags are a must if you are going to tow....
