Just Kidding

 

opps

 

i'll have to find some pics of my old truck, 2000 Z71 extended cab stormy gray lifted 33's 16x8 AR pythons, headers straight pipes, 2003 front clip, god i miss that truck

 

'77 short box, 4" lift, 33s, 10k winch, lockers front and rear, 350 with dynomax bullets dumped. Basically the ranch/firewood rig.

 

^^^^ nice classic. the thing i LOVE about those trucks is the part availability in incredible. you can get a turbo 350 trans rebuilt for under 500 bucks, small block chevy's are a dime a dozen, cheap to lift,and solid axles. i still am looking to find be a 1987 K30 dana 60 front, corporate 14 out back, fuel injected big block 454, 4 speed manual. i will have one of those someday, a truck right from the factory that is pretty much bulletproof.

 

You just commited a sin!J/K I like chevy's also.

 

i have to admit my silverado was 10x's more comfortable to ride in, i am getting used to the f150 though. another thing that i will never understand is why ford didn't offer a bigger motor than the 5.4, hell you can get a chevy max crew with a 380hp 6.0 in it. but i do like how much higher the f150's sit though, always a free bonus. but IMO GM has ford beat on building a truck with a duramax/allison powertrain if that mother had a solid axle, that would be pure insanity

 

I would never drive a chevy. If there wasn't such thing as "Ford" I'd PROBABLY DRIVE A DODGE, that'll probably start some ***** lol

 

1971 Chevy C-10...guess you could say she pre-dated the Silverado. This was when Chevy made real trucks.

Started life as a 350/350 combo...3 tranny's later, ungodly amount of carrier bearings and a bit of boring/stroking...became a 383 stroker.god I miss that truck. last I heard some punk *** kid did a gas station robbery and wrecked it running from the cops...should have never let my dad sell it while I was at Boot Camp.

She may have only gotten 4 mpg...but it was a blast to drive.

 

Yea Chevy's do ride smoother and offer a bigger engine than Ford does. I test drove an 05 Z71 the day before I got my F150 and liked the truck alot. For some reason though the Ford impressed me the most and I don't regret my decision. Ya'll may think i'm crazy but I like the cummin's the best in the 3/4 ton truck's.

 

there all good til they break, chevy has good point and ford has some good points, it's all about preference. you ain't old enough to have had enough trucks, some people just have good luck and some have bad. it's luck of the draw and then there are the people who wreck ever vehicle they drive for the hell of it, go take a 08 denali truck for a spin and then go take a loaded 08 lariat for a spin. very close in price, the denali blows the ford away 6.2 motor, 6 speed trans, standard bluetooth, rear radio controls, remote start. just a way nice truck overall, but that's just my opinion.

they cheyenne's are sexy as hell lifted. my buddy has a '69 or '70, painted 2002 chevy petwer, 402 big block built to the nuts, 35 bf muds, the truck is just awesome, dakota digitals gauges, no expense spared, a real vintage truck that turns head and sounds incredibly, but i suppose any 400+ hp big block breathing thru headers and straightpipes to glasspacks will sound bitchin'
i used to have a '96 right outta highschool. it was really nice, laramie slt maroon, lifted, every option, beautiful truck. i ripped out the tranny before i changed the oil in it come to find out, i got ahold of the original owner and i was putting the 7th tranny in that truck for some reason it wouldn't hold up. i had it built with diesel trans parts and that thing was vicious, full throttle passing a car it would grab second and redline, bump off the limiter at 6grand and shift, i ditched it before the snow fell. but the thing with dodge is the are notorious for having absolute crap auto trannies. emissions are killing all the new diesels. if i could have bought a gray power wagon with a cummins stick, it would be sitting outside right now. those dodge megacabs are just badass!

Yea if I was to buy a cummin's I would definately get the six speed manual tranny. I worked with my cousin for a little bit last summer on a pipeline and he had an 01 cummin's with the 5 speed manual and 5" stack's coming up behind the cab without a muffler or convertor's. I loved driving that truck around it sounded awesome. You couldn't tell that engine had over 200,000 mile's on the odometer. He sold it and got an 05 cummin's with the auto and didn't have it 2 month's and tore the tranny up.

 

if dodge would build a real tranny, they would sell more trucks. I hear the MPG's on the new cummins sucks compared to the early 2000's. I knew guys getting over 20+ on the highway running 35's

 

Ok, I'll play! Here's my old one (2002 2 wheel drive) - that got totaled. (A guy ran a red light and T-Boned me, in the driver's door.) These were taken in August 2007, 6 weeks before the wreck.

 

I had a black 2002 Silverado. I don't think I ever took a picture of it. Guess there never was a reason.
