i think the earlier years of the silverado look much better. i think gm made a mistake with the new redesign. what is with that front bumper? but you do have a very nice ride

It certainly appears that your truck and the C5 share the same glove box door.

Nice

Looks great Stu. Think it's up to the challenge?
What is that weird thing sticking out of the steering column? Why isn't it between the seats?

Only kidding. Nice pull toy!

I have long been a Chevy truck fan. Hell, I even have an original 1991 454SS pickup with a Procharger along with a new Hummer. But, even though I hate to admit it, that is one goofy looking truck. Sorry. I was on board until I saw the side view. Just doesn't look right.

The Vettes are beautiful though.

Here's how I have had to haul mine in the past...



Here's how I'd haul if I had someplace to keep the trailer...

Im personally a much bigger fan of the F250 and F350 trucks wth the 7.3L diesel. Looks like I have a lot more room in the cab of my truck than the Chevy and that diesel will pull hell behind it! I love the look of your truck though. Here is a pic of mine. I bought it not too long ago from a friend and its just for pulling and DD. No need for 4X4 here.

Nice truck Stuz. That thing will pull trees down !!
Chevy Crew Cab for me also. Can't even feel the car & trailer back there. Did a tune and turned off the Torque Management. Made a different truck out of it. All rpm and torque on the bottom end now.
