Default New to the truck board, just got a 2007 Silverado...

Well, after the Grand National was stolen I decided to go with a 4dr Silverado since we have a baby on the way. So far, LOVE the truck. 2007 with high miles (140k) BUT the truck is MINT, 4x4, 4 dr, aluminum 6.0 etc... Got it for $15,500 out the door ($13,400 for the truck) so it was a steal.

Here's how she looked when I bought her (last week lol)...

...and here's how she looks now with black headlights, blacked out grilled and bumper and side steps...

Need to finish off the blacked out lighting, rims and tires, 4" lift, fenders flares and then we're making a custom hood for it (ZL1 style).

I swore I'd wait to mod this one, oh well lol.

Thanks! Probably, just depends what's already out there and what's wanted. More than likely after SEMA (this week) we're going to get started on the hood.

I didn't even know you had a GN! Sorry to hear about it though... Definately needs some bigger tires though, that first pic wth the skinny tires and 17's/18's makes it look scrawny.

Looking at getting these rims...

Vision Off Road 399 Fury 20" 20x9 6x139 7 10mm Gloss Black Milled Wheels Rims | eBay

No clue on what offset to go with. I'm adding fender flares that give me 1.5" more tire coverage (TrueEdge) but have absolutely no knowledge on trucks and off road stuff so any help appreciated...
