Re: 2006 Silverado body swap/frame(chassis) swap 4.3 2wd to 4.8 4wd

Drove it another 100 miles today. Man I need tires!

Drives good, breaks still a little squishy. Almost on had to slam on them twice. I need to bleed again probably but they are all working!

It took way longer than it should but I finally have a radio/cd player. Well no radio b/c I still need an antenna.



Installing an aftermarket radio into a 2006 silverado only costed me around $15 worth of stuff from Amazon.

I read that you can get the wiring harnesses and just add an ign hot wire and be good to go as long as you dont care about door chimes and don't have a fancy bose system or navigation/on star.

Well for some reason, as always, my case wasn't as easy. After 4 hours I realized that the trucks original wiring harness had no constant 12v hot wire in it.

So I not only had to add a ign hot wire, I had to add a 12v constant hot wire. It took me way to long to figure that out but it works great besides no antenna and both front door speakers are shot!

I also got this bed cover from an auction for charity at work. I think I got it for $20 but it came off a 2010 2500hd short bed truck we have at work. I was skeptical if it would fit 99-07 but it does!! I am just missing one piece but that manufacturer, Extang, said they will get it out to me. I am not sure if I will keep it on there or not.
