Thats just the tips original owner ordered with it, I personally like them but could be changed. The truck is basically a regular truck that is heavily accessorized with almost everything GM had had the time.

SSC stands for "Super Sport Clone"
that truck does not look like a true SSC
because the 'SSC' badging was put up front toward the lower front fender,
Aswell as they came with a 2 into 1 into 2 stainless steel exhaust.
I also see a difference is those rims are not the original on an SSC.
Lastly, at least in the northern region, all SSC's were extended cab trucks with a 2" lowering from the factory.
I too was able to purchase an SSC. It came with a different style 5.3L V-8 Vin Z flex fuel 325ci (and not the 323ci)
From GM the rims should be 6 spoke smooth 20" running 275/55/R20 tires.
These should also have a 10 bolt rear axle with 3.42 gears and a posi type locking differential
I have studied this truck, torn down and rebuild mine and others, and there are less than a few handfulls made
(note: 2005 being the only years the SS wasnt produced)

motors have different vins for a reason, different applications and different sizes.
Talk to GM there are 323ci and 325ci.
also like there is a regular 5.3L, a 5.3L hybrid, 5.3L flex, a 5.3L flex H/O (in the SSC..what a concept since, apparently you know what a SSC is, since you cant explain it, and most GM dealers never worked on it...so it must not exist right?)
