Re: Pics of pro street ext cab

I know I would never build one. Seems counter productive. I don't carry passengers to race. I feel Chevy blew it with then later SS ext. cabs. Were they building a performance vehicle or bowing to the market that demands more space in truck cabs to use as a car?

Why would you want a pro-street extended cab?

But a Silverado SS is not a "race" truck?
It is something you can drive daily with more power than either the 4.8 or the 5.3, but better on gas than the 8.1.
A pretty good compromise if you ask me.

I think a standard cab truck option would have been nice (like the SS454), but GM responds to market demands and I just don't think the demand was there for that truck. There were some aftermarket companies (like Regency) doing special trucks, but they were hard sells.
