Here' mine: 2008 3500HD LTZ Crewcab dually 4x4. I drive it sparingly as I have a company car. A crappy old Taurus until just recently I was issued a new Toyota Camry Hybrid.

Dan, that is a very,very nice truck. Looks like it takes up half the street just parked there.

Hey OrrieG, I have your car's brother:

My '64 Chevelle wagon, 8-passenger (has a third seat that folds into the back floor). Has a 305 and 200-4R in it, needs some work but it runs.

Looks good, I have often thought about at 60's wagon for a company car. Everyone in town I deal with already knows me as the architect that drives the classic (or old junker depending on their point of view) car. When I do drive my wife's car they usually ask if something has happened to the Chevelle.

LOL, same happens to me... my wife drives the Avalanche, and I get the old beast! That might change once we fix up the '52. But it is fun to drive, and I have a soft spot for the old wagons.

Thanks for the compliment Sarge and before I go further, thanks for your service and your personal sacrifice for us all.

Those photos are from the day I brought it home. GM was in way DEEP doodoo then so they were dealing without my having to say much at all. They just wanted the big trtucks off their lots. I bought it on my birthday as a gift to myself! The truck looks huge until you see it with the Lance 1181 camper (11-1/2' long) on it...then the whole rig is GI-NORMOUS; especially when I put my two jet ski's on it! A lot of fun though.

P.S. I freaking LOVE your Jimmy. What's new with it? Anything?

[ClassicDreamer]

Dan that truck is HUGE! I love duallys. The camper makes it look like it needs NASA logos on the side

here is mine, 05 avalanche with 20's for the summer

Yeah, I guess it is. I've grown used to it so maybe I don't notice so much anymore. I actually didn't want a dually but my girlfriend and I made a deal - she wanted a camper and would buy it if I would buy the truck. Whoever found the deal they wanted first, the other would buy the truck/camper to fit it. She found a smoking deal and Lance says it HAS to carried by a dually. (I should have told her nothing that requires a dually, huh?) Oh well. The only problem is you can't just park that thing anywhere. It takes some thought. You'll be hiking in from the lower 40 acres if you know what I mean.

Scott, Your 'Lanche is nice. I didn't like those when they only came with the plastic sides but since they started making them all metal I've really liked them so much better. Congrats on a nice, nice truck.

[Scott52]

thanks for the compliment, i never liked the first gen avalanches with the plastic sides and the goofy wheel openings, that dually of yours is sweet

My daily is my 71 C20. Gotta do something about the heat in it though, it's gettin cold outside!

[bjcaldwe]

The new front end is looking good cajun.

[cajundragger]

that front end I dont have anymore

I put the newer 03+ grill shell on it. I dont dare post pics of it right now, lol its dirty and half unfinished with the front end swap.

[bjcaldwe]

My bad, I dunno why I thought that was the new front end lol.

[ClassicDreamer]

cajun you have some nice rides.

Indepent. do you have trouble getting the c10 around in that Rochester Snow?

[youngrodder]

I tired to kill 2 birds with one stone. My daily (2004 Ext) towing my project (1948 Chevy).
With M.I. getting hit with a blizzard as we speak the Escalade is my favorite at this time

[Dan in Pasadena]

Has anyone else besides me noticed that GM seems to alternate their truck "look" between a more square styled body like the '63-'66's, '73-'87's; and a softer, rounded-off look of the '67-'72's and the 90's look of cajundragger's above? I wonder if it's intentional?

P.S. to cajundragger. Your truck's design is my personal favorite of GM's of the recent past. The only other truck design of theirs I like as much is the '67-'68 and that was the last design that famed designer Harely Earl participated in for them...at least that is what I've read. Your truck looks impeccably clean - kudos. SO damn nice.
