What's with all the 2 tone paint on low level trucks?
On my 81 it has ONE 'sport' (base) mirror, drivers side only. The 77 at least has 2, and the 82 has painted dumbos. The 81 has a painted bumper, no rear bumper, no spare tire, 3OTT, manual steering, 250 six, and has power brakes only because it's a 3/4 ton, all factory. The 77 doesn't even have PB. Both had rubber floors and no A/C.
When I get in the 87 diesel I feel pampered - but deaf.

Has anyone ever had a silverado with no options other than tilt and power steering?

I posted my 1990 GMC Jimmy SLX earlier in the thread. Just got it back from having it painted. It's not perfect, but they did a pretty good job especially for the price I paid. I did have them remove the side molding and weld up the holes, but other than that it was just repainted the stock white.

Can you get a close-up of that rear "Jimmy" emblem? I've never seen that one before, but then again I very rarely see 89-91 Jimmy's.

Nice '73. A simple truck from a simpler time. White painted bumpers and white painted hubcaps give it that "no nonsense" look. A look that hasn't came out of Detroit in a long, long time.
