Thanks for the sentiments guys .............. my wife would probably be the only one to disagree with keeping the '03 SS .............. I've been contemplating that right along. I really love that truck - more fun - and more proud - when driving that truck than any other vehicle I've ever had - and I've had a lot !! Sorry I can't take the time to send along a picture - but from 10 feet away, my "Black Beauty" still looks fantastic! It has 64,000 miles - and never had a major dent or ding (just some scratches along the way). When I first got it, I bit my fingers all the way up to the knuckles while I witnessed a local outfit cut a hole in the roof for a sunroof. It came out perfectly - and is still working to this day. A local body shop took the grill and lower air screens out and painted them BLACK - - looks great. I also bought one of those "SS" bow tie grill emblems that some guy on this site put out - Chevy should have thought of that one from the get-go. I love this truck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY won't they make another ?????

It's been a long, long time since I've been on the forum - although I check out the site every once in a while. I was one of the FIRST to proudly roll down the highway with a Silverado SS - - - got mine when they first came out. Now my 2003 still gets second and third looks, but it's getting tougher and tougher to keep her looking as good as new. And, mechanically, I'm running into some expensive repairs. For teh past couple of years I have been hoping against hope that Chevy would announce a new round of these gems - but alas, nothing seems to be coming forth. I think it's time to get something newer - - - but I dread doing it - - - nothing will compare to the fun ride I've had with my '03 SS. Any news on them reviving this model would be welcome in my world - -

I got one of the first! ..................... and I just turned 21,000 miles. Sweet truck !
