Re: Feels like driving an S10
Cool pics! You can see some of the same design influences in both vehicles. I still say the one on the right (first few pics) is prettier,

Re: Feels like driving an S10
Bobby,
Very nice GMC!!! love the color and the upgrade on the rims. what color interior? leather or fabric? good financing right now. I am having a hard time picking one up as well..... and it would be identical to yours. nice taste!

Re: Feels like driving an S10
nice pair of trucks you got there, but seeing them togather makes mewonder what the manufactures are thinking today. i don't understand why they sit so high and the bedsides are so high. unless your 61/2 feet tall you can't reach in and get anything out. don't they think people use them to haul stuff anymore? hell my buddy'sgot a 71 gmc with no tailgate that he leads his kid's pony up to and it just steps in. try that with a new truck

Just out of curiosity (as I wasnt around back then). Back in the 70's/80's were people driving around in the rediculously lifted monster trucks, similar to today's 8-10" lifted F-150 2wds? (always makes me crack up), even the 4wd's for that matter. Im just wondering if its a relatively new trend, and what they are trying to make up for (everyone knows you do it with your 1/4mi ET, anyway... ![]()

I just don't understand why some of these clowns spend so much money on lift's tires suspension or whatever with no intention of using it for the built purpose..... Sorry for the rant!!

Re: Feels like driving an S10
Why were you specifically searching for a 4.8L? The cheaper price? The 5.3 gets the same fuel mileage with more power

Re: Feels like driving an S10
4.8's are just a little cheaper... I was just mostly looking for 2wd and 20's
