My 1996 SS (new member)

joseph.e.carter · 07-11-2009, 10:26 PM

Tell me what you think. I have alot I want to do with it.
98 grille swap
HID lights
2/3 drop
18" black wheels
tint job
exhaust system
and a few performance upgrades but ultimately I'm looking to go with an LS1 V8 swap.

Gave 3K for the truck by the way, thought it was a pretty good deal, inside is flawless and it runs flawless.

BlkBlzr01 · 07-11-2009, 11:37 PM

slonlow2000 · 07-11-2009, 11:43 PM

Only $3000, does it have 200xxx miles or what?

joseph.e.carter · 07-12-2009, 09:43 AM

130,000 miles on it.

24digger · 07-13-2009, 03:21 PM

That's a nice one, looks great.

What kind of options does it have?

joseph.e.carter · 07-13-2009, 04:02 PM

came with everything offered except it had the tape deck instead of the cd player. of course, that's already been taken care of.

***orangesonoma*** · 07-13-2009, 04:04 PM

not feeling the bed cover...but clean truck

~~4x4zr2GA~~ · 07-13-2009, 04:20 PM

composite front grille and lights would look bitchin

MySSS10 · 07-13-2009, 04:29 PM

Hey Carter that a nice SS I also have a 96. Not quite as clean as your though. I need paint and body work but it runs great.

Nitemare · 07-13-2009, 05:00 PM

that's sick. i would just do a 98+ bumper and valance, clear corners, tint, and lower it.

seems like you got an excellent deal on her btw.

joseph.e.carter · 07-13-2009, 07:32 PM

Is the 98 bumper a straight bolt on to a 96? Or is there more involved in swapping them?

TRPLS10 · 07-14-2009, 08:32 PM

clean truck!!

No its a straight bolt on, the only thing you have to do is shim the bumper up to fill the gap between the bumper and grille

MySSS10 · 07-16-2009, 11:27 AM

Hey Carter keep the bed cover it looks good and saves fuel.

joseph.e.carter · 03-14-2010, 12:52 PM

Do these trucks really come stock with no tag lights? Never noticed this until last week, but I was pulled over crossing into GA for no tag lights. Checked it out the next day suspecting I needed to replace a bulb, however, there were no tag lights at all to be found anywhere. I figured every vehicle ever made came with tag lights considering it's a law to have them.

slonlow2000 · 03-14-2010, 01:00 PM

Thats not a factory roll pan you have on there, the factory SS roll pans do have tag lights.

rce10 · 03-15-2010, 01:46 AM

love the truck man! i also got a 96' ss and just hit 140k miles on my way home tonight. Im also wanting to do the 98 bumper swap

1mean4.3 · 03-16-2010, 11:42 PM

looks good, sweet deal too.
