  1. These trucks look good with their original SS wheels, as well as the TBSS style. I can't find a picture, but someone had put the newer model wheels on a black SS. The wheel option ck160, in black machined finish, and I don't remember if it was a 22 or 24 wheel, but it looked good!

  2. Dunno about the offset but what would concern me is that although the pattern is the same, 6x139.7mm (6x5.5"), there are two other minor differences.

     

    Online references are a little sketchy to depend on but I believe the Titan has a center bore of 78.1mm, the Silverado is gonna be 78.3mm for the somewhat newer stuff like our SS's. Most stock wheels being hubcentric, that's gonna make them a no-go right there.

     

    Also, the Titan uses 12mm wheel studs while our trucks use 14mm, so the lug holes in the wheels may not be quite large enough.

    I see pictures of Silverado with titan wheels, you say the studs are 2mm different, how do they run them with that difference? Could you buy the plastic rings that come with after-market brand wheels to center them, and then torque down?
  3. I know right! The new Ford inspired Chevy, with round fender wells and Raptor like front end...seriously wtf is going on???!!! First GM launches 4cyl turbo camaros, then these horrible Baja style Silverados..... whats next a 4cyl corvette also???

    Who let you in on that secret? Hahahaha! It does seem like a cross of the Raptor, Colorado, and a Silverado. They say it will have multiple engine and transmission configurations, but I assume that's to get them on the road and persuade people to buy them...
  4. There is no such thing as a crew cab 4x4 VHO. Only extended cab 2wd 04 and 05.

    I used to work I a detail shop and they had taken out a booklet that has the VHO in ccsb 4x4 configuration, not z71, but 4x4. I Craigslist constantly and see them posted from time to time, I'm positive they were available in 2006. When I get back to town I can try and post a picture of the book I'm talking about.

    edit: I see what you're saying now, VHO and Vortec Max being different, my mistake lol, read to fast think too slow haha
  5. They'll most likely bring similar value to the SSS, but it would depend on all the goodies they have. I could only find these.

    There was another black ccsb 4x4 VHO on Craigslist closer to Texas but I can't find the link. :/ you could always go on autotrader and cargurua and search 05-07 trucks with v8 and eventually one will pop, it might not have the badging, but I've seen a few that have the N vin or X I think one had? It's a little frustrating some trucks have the VHO wheels but the 4.8 in them.

  6. To me everything requested in the video is just asking Chevy to compete with the Ford

    To me everything requested in the video is just asking Chevy to compete with the Ford Raptor. In the video you ask for different driving modes, in particular a track mode. You asked for wider and more off road capable tires, I don't think those would do to well at the track. If you mean dirt racing sure, but still I wouldn't categorize this as a race truck. There's a few other "contradictory" stuff asked for in this video.

    EDIT: After watching the video again, basically he's asking for a Chevrolet version of the raptor and asking Chevrolet to "update" a few things so they would be up to par with other trucks.

  7. I don't think so, the picture has been around a while. It does look like the truck has a 3/5ish drop on it already. The wheels are ck162, which have been out since the body. I would expect SS specific wheels, and of course badging, etc. Maybe it is real, but doubtful.

    Edit:

    1. What is the graphic on the passenger side door?

    2. It looks like the LTZ badge was just moved to the other side of the grille.

    3. Why would they put Silverado lettering on the doors?

    4. Side steps?

  8. Typically an LT trim or SLT (GMC) truck came with them. Also the ho's and burb's had them on the higher trim.....

    Indeed. I bought aftermarket for my 06 blue granite, much cheaper than factory replacements, but man, that glass wanted to fall out going down the highway, it pretty much rendered them useless trying to actually check your mirrors how much they shook...
  9.  

    Were the turn signals in the mirrors not exclusive to the SSs? I've never seen a regular Silverado with those that weren't aftermarket.

    You could buy one with dl3 or dl8 mirrors on ext cabs and crew cabs. Dl3 had the signals in glass, not sure if all had power fold and puddle in them, but they did come on "optioned trucks. I believe in some cases you could get them in reg cab, but it may have had to have the 5.3 in it to be an option.
  10. Nice looking SS! More pics when you can get them would be good.

     

    Hmmm if I got a red and a blue then I'd have all the '06 colors. ;)

    Good luck with the sale!

    I thought arrival blue was taken off the color choice and replaced with silver birch in early 2005? Imagine having a garage with 03-07 classic sss trucks each of one color! Droooooool...
  11. Those are pictures of my truck, I called him out in email about it. I'll post screenshots one second...

    You're the owner of the truck in the co post? You had made a post a while back saying you had picked up the ISS from a guy who had kept it in a garage forever and was the original owner right? I feel like that was the original posting anyways...
