Hello from Louisville!

Nice crew cab!

Nice rig. I think being 2wd, it would look really cool leveled out and on some 285s.

Already scoped out a 2/4 lowering kit!

Nice crew cab! Looks like a good work truck. Love those bulletproof GM vinyl truck interiors! Should be nice with a 2/4 drop.

Having a hard time deciding on which grille and headlight assembly to use. My attraction to these OBS trucks was, in part, the composite headlights and grille. To me, it's tough, but classy at the same time.

Then there's this truck that popped up on a Google search. I ABSOLUTELY love the ENTIRE look of this truck, paint and all!

I like the later model grilles, they're more streamlined and to my eye it's a cleaner design. But then I may be a bit prejudiced since the later Silverado grille is what my 99 Burb has......

My personal tastes on these 2wd big girls is I like them laying frame on air ride. LS swap, nice wheels and a nice air ride setup. Oh and some curb feelers for safety purposes.

x2, definitely put in a chrome or color-matched 94-98 grille.

This is the route I'm planning, but finding an OE paintable grille, has proved to be difficult. The aftermarket grilles missing the border bits around the bowtie, bug me too much to buy one of them. Thought about buying two of the cheap aftermarket grilles, and shaving the bowtie, but worried I'd screw it up, and be back to no grille, and wasted money.

Wasn't there a company that made a 94 up Silverado grille without the bowtie in the middle? Swear I saw them back in the day.....dad was thinking about one for the other 99 Burb we had. I don't mind the bowtie because it's not too huge like the newer trucks use. I saw a '21 Tahoe the other day, from the side at first and then from the rear. Thought it was an expedition until I saw the foot wide gold bowtie on its butt....The last generation Ford and Lincoln SUV looks like the Chevy from the side so I guess GM returned the favor. Personally, I look at new trucks and SUVs and think " how many 400s could I get and fix up for that kinda $$$".....

You are correct, it was called the Phantom grille:

And I agree about the new trucks, they all seem to be copying each other at the moment.
