MsChevy's 1997 Chevy Silverado ECSB aka Big Blue

After we were done the truck got a much needed bath, washed it Sunday evening, drove it home and to work the next day and now it's dirty again... but I got some better pics.

Nice! Truck is lookin good! Sweet light bar.

I HATE WINTER!
(At least the humid as hell and freezing cold kind... 100% humidity and 14°F, everything is frozen.)

Today is not a good day! First the driverside door is frozen shut, passangerside too ofcourse. I finally get it open and now it won't close, it won't latch at all. After sitting in the parkinglot for 20 minutes getting angrier by the second I went to my garage where the Magnum is (still rocking summer tires so it's not going anywhere) to get a screwdriver. I finally figure out how to make it latch so I can drive to work without falling out on the way. I pull up on the freeway and notice the door still isn't properly closed... I get to work and try to close it all the way but it won't... it only closes enough so I can lock the door. It has never happened before and I don't like it!

Oh and while driving I hear what sounds like a rock hiting my windshield except there's no one infront of me... now there is another 3ft crack in my windshield, it used to be a couple inches on the passanger side...

Summer can not come soon enought!

Because I need some cheering up, a little throwback to summer.

damn. sorry to hear about all that. I've got a huge crack in my windshield too. It's only a matter of time before it spreads across the whole thing

wow Nice car

Well, after the truck stood in the sun all day both doors now open and close properly again. Passenger door was just frozen shut, need to put some silicone on the rubber seal. Driver door was the same but when I forced it open the rubber seal came loose all the way from the hinges to the top of the windshield and I didn't notice it in the dark. I pushed the seal back in place and now the door closes like it always has.
Windshield is obviously still busted, it has a million small rockchips and a few big once and now two huge cracks, it's 18yo with 240.000km/149k miles on it so it's about time. I'm waiting for summer and 'til everyone takes their studded tires off, those studds does some serious damage when the come flying at high speeds.

Only 2 months 'til summer (April 15th is the last day we can legally drive with studded tires, April 15th = summer! )

Thanks, my truck really doesn't like it when it's cold and humid. My windshield has been bad for years, it's the original one so it's really worn too, I'm just hoping it'll last 'til summer.

Thanks, yours looks nice too.

Your truck is amazing. It has convinced me to color matching my grill and bumper as well. How is the light output on those black headlights?

Sorry for late reply, I've been having issues with the page.

Thank you very much!
The output is a whole lot better then stock. And if you remember to aim the lights after installing them they are even better... which I forgot to do, ha!

Do you happen to have a link to the headlights?
