New and old together!!

We bought a 2010 Chevy Crew Cab on Tuesday and I took some pics of it with the 85. I am in love with the new truck. We will probably put some nice wheels, intake and exhaust on it. Here are some pics:

Yeah I love it so far. We have a trip to TX in a week for vacation so I will see how it is on the longer trips.

Re: New and old together!!

i like the new silverados but i think it could be me but the GMC has better body lines i'm having a hard time adjusting to the flaring of the fenders at the wheel wells nice truck by the way man...... I love the pictures of the new and old they almost look identical in a way........ bet when you drive the older truck you feel like your riding in a tank compared to the new truck lol......

You have no idea!!! I had a 06 Xterra and it rode rough as well. Now when I drive the old truck I ask myself, did this truck always ride like this I still love the 85 though!!!

Re: New and old together!!

Very nice! The both of them. Semper Fi by the way.

My father has an '08 heavy duty Silverado diesel and it is a great truck, i've ridden with him in it several times and it's a smooth ride. It also makes a killer work truck. I've only been behind the wheel of it once for a quick trip down the road but i was still very impressed.

Don't lean on the bed top it will dent. As soon as you can. put rail caps on them or they will look like a hailstorm hit them. With great gas mileage comes compromise, one of which is very thin sheet metal.
