Hey fellas been browsing on here for a few months now and post here and there and its time i put together a little build thread.

Purchased the truck january 12th 2011 completely stock from a local chevy dealership. purchased a 2007 NNBS silverado work truck, white ofcourse , came with the 4.8l v8 and had about 30,000 miles and was previously owned by an older lady and was used for her flower company, sounds like a good deal to me haha...

so when i purchased the truck it had the factory 20" ltz wheels on it and completely base other than that (manual locks, windows, and an am/fm radio)

Well shortly after getting the truck i came upon some hard times, lost my job and almost lost the truck until i came upon a GREAT oppurtunity and thats where we are now with this truck. after almost 9 months of ownership its time to make something happen with this beauty


WHEN I FIRST GOT HER.

so after driving her with the factory 20's i got offered 1500 for them with almost bald tires so i sold them off and picked up a set off 24's for 500$ with almost new tires from a buddy of mine.


first day with the 24's

well after a few months i got sick of the monster truck look so i took out the rear block and added 2" drop shackles and did the bed and fender liners



well after many months of riding on 24's a new change had to come. more updates to come VERY soon

 

 

Well after months and months of riding on the 24" rims i opted for something alittle cleaner and a COMPLETELY diffrent look


Factory steel wheels black.

after cleaning up the look of the truck with the new wheels, the drop shackles, tint and all that jazz i decided it was time to pop the hood. its not done yet but its a start


New airraid MIT and a k&n airfilter and other than that shes stock motor wise for now

 

pics are massive. ill resize them when i figure it out. new parts on the way

 

I like the black wheels, plan on having some power coated once I find some for a decent price.

 

got mine for 200$ with decent tires and TPMS sensors already in them haha. but ya its a diffrent look i love it.

 

I made sure to buy trucks with no TPMS. The only wheels I have found range from 80-100 each, too much for plain steel wheels.

 

i dont really mind tpms although it is sometimes aggrivating in the spring when u have 40 degree mornings and 80 degree days and the light goes on and off as the pressure fluctuates
