Updated Pics of the 06 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BP68 · 12-02-2006, 09:34 PM

Hey all,

Here a few new pics of the truck without moldings.
Also got my 2" rear shackles on.
Escalade handles and painted mirror caps on the way.

P.S. I am looking for recommendations for cold air intakes and exhaust systems. Any advice? Experience? I am looking real hard at the dual cat back magnaflow system. I want a bolt on kit, and theirs is all stainless.

I like those 20's are they from the factory? Look inside your glove box door at the bottom and it will give you the paint code and post it here. I do not think you can get them that color.

You are correct. You cannot get handles or mirror caps in that color from GM. I ordered a set of Silver Escalade handles, Tailgate handle and bezel, and mirror caps from the dealer I work at. Then I had one of the painters in the body shop paint em. Just got em installed tonight.

I will try to post new pics tomorrow.

man those wheels look good on that truck!

Yeah, off the truck I wasn't totally sure about the wheels. But I got a Super deal on em. Once we got em on the truck, they looked amazing.

I am trying to post some new pics with the Escalade door handles and mirror caps.
But I getting a error about the files being too large, but I think I am doing em like all the others I have posted.

I'll keep trying

My Camera does that too, for some reason at different times and depending I think on how much background in the picture and all that it is too large. Resize them in your camera software and then try to repost. Did your painter smooth the tailgate handle all the way? I did N2TRUX tailgate handle for him. We ordered it in black but still had some texture so I smoothed it all the way and repainted it so it would match the door handles better.

If you have a program like photoshop, go to FILE, then SAVE AS, then save it, and a picture quality thing will pop up, drop it to 2 or 3 and that should make the file size "small" enough to post.

Great looking truck. I think that's one of the best Colors GM has right now, along with sunburst orange metallic... I LOVE that color
