misterp Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) IMO don't even bother - you can find good used SSS trucks for under $15K, it's a buyer's market right now and I would sell and trade to a SSS. By the time you pay for the cladding, *if* you can find it all, then you need to spend $$$ getting it fit and installed and painted etc etc etc. You'll easily have anywhere from $2500 to $5000 depending on whether you do the work yourself or take it to a body shop... Of course this assumes you have a extended-cab, if you are kitting-up a single cab or tahoe/suburban that's a different project and you'll have to scavenge the cladding off a wrecked truck.

drako Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 WHAT YOU GOTTA DO IS A MULTI-STEP PROCESS 1 NUMA ONE. turn caps off and use punctuation....its freaking annoying. 2. Your best bet is to walk into a dealership and get a SS. 3. However if you want to convert your truck get ready. The SS has body moldings that adhere to the side of the entire truck. The SS sticks out a bit on the sides. For your truck you will have to fab a few pieces aside from the brackets and other things. These pieces if acquired by GM are expensive however sometimes it can be found round here or on ebay. The badges alone are pricey..... If you are thinking about a clone theres alot here as far as info. Use the search function and type in "clone" and other terms. Zippy wrote a whole thread with every part number down to the nuts and bolts. Good luck to you and welcome to the Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 It depends how serious you want to get with the cladding; you can get a re-pop SS-style front bumper from Stylin Concepts that does not stick out as far from the fender as the OEM front bumper, it looks ok on a truck without the side cladding and you can finish the rear with a Sir Michaels roll pan. But if you want the cladding on the side as well then get the OEM SS front bumper, and check out all the posts from supersub, he did this to a Suburban and I believe the fab will be very similar. It would look cool as hell... Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champion201 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) I DONT GOT THE EXTENDED CAB I GOT THE CREW CAB... Supersub has a ton of money invested in his setup. Like others have said, it will be very expensive. Edited July 9, 2008 by Champion201 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
