I Like My 85 Better

[rwhit57]

For the last month I've had my Dad's 2005 Silverado Crewcab, it's a nice truck but I like my 85 better. Sure the a/c blows colder in the new one, a bit more comfortable, and it's a little better on gas, but my truck is a lot quicker, handles better, and feels like a tighter, more solid truck.

My father has a 2003 3/4 ton 6.0 he bought new and my neighbor has a 2003 Duramax 3/4 ton he bought new. I've driven both trucks and they both are very nice riding trucks and very comfy.

I choose my old 79 1 ton pickup for alot of other reasons though. For one it's cheaper It's easier to work on, my AC blows just as cold as the new trucks, it's pretty darn comfy and rides decent for a 30 year old truck in my opinion,,,,but most of all I like to have a classic truck to tow the classic cars around. I get just as many compliments on the truck as I do the cars I'm towing

Just not the same pulling them around in a brand new truck, that's just me though.

The 85 will be probably be around another 30 years,the 05 will be in the landfill in 20 years.I drive a 87 and 86 3/4 4x4 for daily work trucks,for what I am using the truck for an IRS would be done in a year.They might ride a bit rougher,but hey it's a truck! Easy to work on,parts are plentiful and I enjoy driving them....
