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
Got it lowered today. Gonna do shocks tomorrow and a alignment on monday. I must say it went pretty smooth not big headaches.
First pic is before, and all others are after. These are after the rear and before the front these are after the front coil was cut Last edited by 70stroker; 01-09-2011 at 07:28 PM. |

Re: 97 silverado minor touches build
Looks good. How much of the front coil did you end up cutting.

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. |
