Doing my part to keep GM in business

Picked up a daily driver today .... the end of a journey that started last July. Positive impressions so far. I can't really compare it as a truck because the last full-size truck I owned was a 1970 CST/10.

I'll give a users report after I've pounded a few miles on.



Basic info: LT 4x4, Z60 suspension, 5.3 engine, locking diff, 4.10 gears, 20" wheels with 275/55 tires, 1SB convenience package (remote start, steering wheel controls, enhanced DIC), tailgate package and HD trailering package.

Cool! Congrats on the purchase. I'd just hate to be the oncoming driver in one way traffic. The glare from the chrome must be killer.

I'm sure your business is appreciated.

I just drove a 2500 HD with the Duramax/Allison combo yesterday. It was an extended cab, long bed, 4x4. It is awesome.

These GMT900s are really nice trucks.

Wow, that regular cab/short bed has a lot of potential...I think they'll be really popular again, kinda reminds me of the rc/sb C10's. Recently, they didn't look so good in that configuration....but I'm diggin' yours!

I'm thinking that would be a great starting point for a 'SS' Silverado. Imagine that tuck slightly lowered, different wheels, and a LS7 engine... That would make some SRT-10 buyers think twice before running to Dodge for a truck.

Nice truck Art! That's the first regular cab I've seen.

I know I'd be real happy to drive the "offspring" of a Trailblazer SS / Silverado union. Maybe it's time to install the blinds in the garage.

Me too. Funny thing is this is what I get for ordering a GMT800 back in August.

Nice purchase. I'm trying to talk my wife into selling the fleet and trading up to a new Silverado, Malibu (08) and Camaro (09). I absolutely fell in love with the GMT900s at the SF Autoshow.

So far its not working.



All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:41 PM.
