LTZ hit it right on the money. BBM3 these trucks really shine in the snow. You are right they are very tough old trucks.

Not bashing the new ones.
Heck they have GVWR, towing, and HP/TQ capacities, all wrapped up in a plush, hand stiched leather, isolation chamber cab that was unimaginable 40 years ago.

On old saying comes to mind, "They don't build em like they used too anymore"

That goes both ways tho, what has moved from steel to plastic has also increased in fuel economy, hp/tq, like Don5 said, but now they are also packed with leading technology and features. 45 years ago trucks were never fancy, the new ones are quiet, comfy, they look good and have 800+ ft lbs of torque and over 20,000 lbs payload ability.

thats it, most times you see one broken down before someone finishes paying it off.
but dont let steel sled fool you, they go great in the snow but they dont stop great. most people you see in the ditch think they know how to drive and their 4x4 makes them invincible.

Haha join the club. Looks amazing from 100 feet away. 10 inches and it's a paint job only a momma could love. Lol

I was being generous at 10 feet. It looks much better 20+

Haha, i'm lookin good at about 10 yards, any closer and here comes the cancer.

I posted these pictures on the Truck of the Month thread.
Sorry for the cross post I just wanted to add some decent pictures in this thread of what I have been working on for the past 11 months.

Don't be sorry, that truck looks great!

Ps, I have the same grille hanging on the wall in my bedroom. Redneck, I think so maybe a just a little bit.

LTZ,
Thanks for following.

I think it is time to summit Pikes Peak.
It is not a big deal in a modern vehicle especially since the road is now fully paved.
Hopefully I will be posting pictures of my truck at 14,000 feet in the next few days.

[philo_beddoe]

I realized yesterday that I have posted a lot of pictures of broken, new, and repaired parts but no good pictures of the whole truck.

Thanks you have a nice one too.

What is the color code of that silver?

The sticker in the glovebox says RPO 117L  17 Saratoga Silver
The truck has been repainted (poorly) It is a bit darker than the original paint color.
