so lately ive had a change of heart and decided my truck is fast enough to have fun around town but looks stock and i like being noticed even if its little things . now that im working at a chevy dealership my income has almost doubled . and i get painting for close to free and parts on discount . im gonna do a 06 front end conversion . seeing anyone who knows what there tlaking bout knows they dont make stepsides no more . also i like the overall aperrance of it . then im gonna be ordering a 3 inch lift spindle and 1 inch coil spacer with some 32 inch bf alterrians on the stockies . just to get that altitude adjustment . so anyone have some opinion's on this . and all i need is the grill shell , hood , painted bumper pad and black air dam correct?? i asked the body guy he said hes not sure if thats all but thinks so

Really all you need is the bumper cap, hood and grille go for it.

yeah all you really need is the hood, grille, bumper cap and lower valance, and if you want the lower valance extender if u already dont have it. I live close to mexico and at a friends shop they did at least 7 conversions in one week.
