Looking for CLEAN 04' -06' Sierra or Silverado VHO or vortec max.

I'm in the Saint Louis area. However I am willing to travel for the right truck.

 

Sorry, I don't visit this site much and just noticed the post here and the friend request from 2022! I hope you found the truck you were looking for.

I have not. Still looking for one. I found one but it is a little 'rougher than what I would like.

 

Just in case: There is a VHO pickup with the LQ9, that I think comes only in 4 door. You know the Silverado SS pickups had the same LQ9, but were all extended cabs. They have great looking body kits on em, and came in RWD or AWD. There was also the Sierra Denali. Those came with the LQ9 (pretty sure in Ext cab and 4drs, had a different bed that looked great, and nice interiors. Those came in AWD.

Anyone of those and you are going to pay a premium for. I know I've semi recently seen a black and a white Sierra Denali.

 

Yeah, I don't mind paying for the right truck. I myself don't really care for the SS. They look good but the fit and finish of alot of the SS body parts is bad. Plus I need to be able to use it for an actual truck at times and prefer the utility of the VHO's. Definitely don't want AWD and alot of the SS'S seem to have that.

I have no problem paying for the "right" VHO. Really would like to have the sierra but those are even more rare. This would mean color, condition and all..

I appreciate your reply.

 

Fit and finish of a the body parts are bad? Maybe on a clone yeah. Original SS looks great.

 

Once they get a little clapped I think I could agree with him. My driver door cladding came loose at the front corner while it was at the transmission shop and they chipped the paint on it trying to make the door open before they realized why it was sticking. SOB's

Anyway it kinda sucked having to pull it as most of the body tape was still holding REALLY well, and it was a chore to get it all cleaned off so I could put new tape on and re-install the cladding. I'm with you though fit and finish (original) is pretty good. Two SS's in the driveway and IMO they look great. I think a lot of the clone trucks they just tack that crap on however they can, missing brackets, and a lot of times the kits are fiberglass copies of the originals anyway. That stuff almost never looks good without a ton of effort involved.

My buddy has been into collision for 35 years. Owned his own shop for 30. He's had a few come through over the years. Had alot of fitment issues with rear bumper tailgate pieces. He seems to think there's been a change of manufacturers even on a few of the GM parts available for the SS's. Cool trucks but when it comes to bodywork he cusses them alot...lol

 

Oh I believe it. Now it is all fiberglass rip offs. I found a complete genuine used set of cladding in black that I almost bought just to store but passed on it.

 

The 04-05 VHO never came in a 4 door package. They were All Extended cabs and were only 2wd.
The 06-up Vortec MAX trucks cami in 4 door and Extended cab and could be 2WD or 4x4
