Good Reference: Thanks....
There is a lot of luv for LWB trucks.

I have no issues with a stock height LWB C20 and if the owner loves it then all the better. To call out those that own C10 SWB stepside that has been lowered, that is less than a truck kind of miffs me. I have a friend who thinks that SWB trucks look funny and perfers a LWB truck......goes to show "different strokes for different folks". By the logic of a lowered SWB stepside is less of a truck, then a C20 is a REAL truck and a C10 is an imposter. The C20 can haul more than a C10....right? Better never use an El Camino to haul anything bigger than a roll of toliet paper...huh? Where does that put a C30 or a 3500? Can a truck be modified so far that it is not useful as a truck.....oh he** yeah, at the GMC dealer I worked at we had plenty of slammed 3500 dually crew cab. In my opinion that slammed (way more than lowered) 3500 dually crew cab has become a big block 4 door car without a trunk lid, but the guy who owned it loved and guess what it isn't my truck.

I love to see a Stock C20, a LWB C10, or a lowered C10 SWB. If it gets what you want done then it is a truck IMHO.

I have been on here close to five years and never got this impression....???

Nothing wrong with the dodge in the background.

Junkpyl · 01-22-2011, 09:18 PM

Just out of curiosity, what impression?

Junkpyl · 01-22-2011, 09:21 PM

You are correct. The ram is a good truck, just not a Chevy.

I like all sorts of car/trucks like i love all sorts of women aall shapes and sizes

mtdave2 · 01-22-2011, 11:52 PM

I am with you brother. I usualy keep my mouth shut and not comment on threads about bagged, lowered and very custom trucks. to me it like taking the wings off a classic air plane. All I can think is, man, their WAS a nice truck..ugh. but, to each their own.

There are many of us who think these trucks are best the way they came from the factory.

Off topic but Liz's avi pic looks sorta like an albino flathead catfish doesn't it? I think it's smiling.

Junkpyl · 01-23-2011, 02:22 PM

Nice looking truck Dixitruck71. Looks great with the old skool mags, I think a 4" drop would do it justice.

Jerry Jones · 01-23-2011, 06:00 PM

I have 4 of 'em, 3 have 8 lugs and 1 has 6.

292farmer · 01-23-2011, 06:33 PM

here yah go long bed c20 working, btw its only a truck if its got a I6 and manual trans

sorry guys had to

Jeffs70 · 01-23-2011, 09:49 PM

I disagree its not about what you have or what you drive to be noticed or out there with everyone else. If you do not discuss things on forums then you wont ever be noticed, Plain and simple as that. I am a fan of each and everyone of the trucks on here and everyones taste. Its nice to see what others have done to these trucks and what they prefer, no matter what year they maybe. I enjoy reading each forum post and Builds each night after work and I am sure many others do the same on here when they are able too. Just know that each and everyone of us on these forums have our own opinions on everything. ( Likes and Dislikes ) I just know I love these trucks!

treveiger · 01-23-2011, 11:58 PM

Some great looking trucks!!!

S10 hater... Aw gee, now my feelings are hurt (not). You'd be surprised how hard you can work a little S10... The bed ain't much smaller than early stepsides, and the little bugger gets up to 28MPG.

My poor 'ol '68 ain't nothing, but a work truck with some perfume on it.

My '88 longbed is work truck too, I lowered it slightly to make it easier to load bricks.

I never realized this before all I've got is mangy old work trucks.

i agree. my dad has an s-10, with the 2.2. yes, a 2.2. it dosent get anywhere quick, but hes pusing 35 MPG. closer to 40 MPG if he puts premium in!! so anyone who has anything to say about an s-10 can go elsewhere, because AFAIC, 4 times the milage of my '67, hes doing a good job. it may squat alot when you have a load on, but what does that matter?
