A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Re: Bonus cab trucks
I will take some pictures next week.....definitely not parting out .....I am hoping to save the original paint and use it as a old style tow vehicle for a 1980 jet boat ....it is 30 years old and classified as an antique in Alberta.

Re: Bonus cab trucks
I had an '86 Chevy Bonus Cab. It had been sent from the factory to Choo Choo and was a conversion truck with a custom interior. No interior pics though. Before I bought it, I looked at another crewcab dually, it was a factory Bonus Cab. I didn't buy it due to "no rear seat". I believe these trucks were aimed at contractors who could use the backseat area for lockable tool storage, or they could build their own racks/cabinets in this area.

Re: Bonus cab trucks
Gmt,
Like I said above, I don't have any interior pics, and the previous owner spray bombed the body all black. Sorry
