I'll enter my 1972 C10 Highlander.

Gasasaur · 11-22-2016, 08:15 AM

Here's my '87 V20 Camper Special. Bought it from the original owner with 51k miles on it earlier this year. I've been driving it every day since. He was a farmer, so he went what he considered the reliable route. Manual locking hubs, manual windows, manual locks, and a reliable TH400. He ditched the velour seats for standard vinyl as he didn't believe velour seats belonged in a truck.

Personally I love the exterior color combo and dark charcoal interior. I ditched the camper shell and added the tool box, powder coated the wheels black, and had the windows tinted. Gave it a nice rumble with dual exhaust and no cats.

Thank you Pete, while I really appreciate being nominated for this, I would like to take my truck out of the running. I have won with this truck in the past. Good luck to all the other nominees, there are some great trucks on here.
