most people use them from older 88-98 trucks..my buddy and I just pulled a 6 lug 14 bolt SF from a 97 silverado...they bolt right up to the newer trucks

NBS 1500 HDs were 8 lug im almost 95% sure...

 

I already asked no answer

 

Everything is coming along man, nice work.
As for the sidepipes, me likey they will looks great and sound even better.

 

No! they do not bolt right up, but they can be modified to work. I hope the 97 silverado was a 4x4 other wise your gonna need new wheels.

Check out this thread for more details on the OBS 14 Bolt Swap.

99-Up style is 68.5 WMS-WMS
88-98 2x4 6 Lug was only 64.5 WMS-WMS
88-98 4x4 6 lug Is 67.5 WMS-WMS

The 8 lug came in 1500HD 99-up style
6 lug Version in 99-up style Certin Crew Cab models, V-Max, VHO, Denali C3 Truck, In the SS 06 model only. Then again In 08 NNBS V-Max

Around 04 was supposedly a Discbrake Version. I know 08-up also have disc brakes.

I like the way it looks Lowered and with the new front end. I Almost did the same thing with a light duty 2500. Are you gonna show us How you mounted your 4 link set up??? did you just cut the back of the frame off and make new mount holes for the short bed???

 

I haven't updated this in quite a wile. These pics are old but someone was asking questions so I figured I would post them up.


I havn't addressed the offset bag issue. I have only driven the truck, maybe, 150 miles in the last 6 months. It is also now track and play only so I will probably just leave it as is. Less then 1500 miles a year it should be just fine as is.
