| Ok.....I am giving in. Time to buy a brand spanking new truck. After all, I make a living with it. But I am a chevy man, and of course, having my head stuck in toilets, haven't been following mainstream things as I should. Soooooo, the old style chevy is no longer available, huh? Just this new looking truck that looks morelike a car then a truck. I HATE THE WAY OT LOOKS. Fender flares?????? YUCK. I want a truck, not a balloon. Anyway, cant seem to find a 2007 classic style anywhere, new that is. So.....anyone out there can tell me if I am better off with the old style versus the new style? |

| Well.......really interested in mileage. My truck has 85. So looking for pretty low mileage. Simply put, I dont want to have to put ANY MONEY into, or have to buy another truck for many, many moons. |

| BTW, just looked at the new SILVERADO at the dealer. MAN oh MAN. They have this gigantic cut out above the wheels you could drive a another truck thru. Its ugly. Small ass tires. Big ass cut-out. Looks like crap to me. Course.....doesn't everything..... |

Now THAT was funny! :)
I agree with the new look. The one's before that weren't much better for that matter.

| Its sad when you add the cost of a solid axle swap into a brand new truck....thats what I did. And you know what I found out? 30-40 thousand dollars can build one HELL of a NICE 73-91 Crew Cab V3500. Check out this guys rig on my local site.... http://alaska4x4network.com/showthread.php?t=32782 This dude brought an old North Slope truck back from the dead. Make sure to compare the first pic to the bottom one. That is the way I am going to go. No new rig for me. |
