Stay firm on the Crewcab and you will be ahead of the game in the long run if that is the truck you really want to own (IMHO). The question becomes, are you leading or following the pack.

I purchased a 1986 K30, Crew, SRW in 2008 for $5,000 off ebay, that same truck today would go for $12,000-$15,000 Good investment? Maybe? But the reason for the purchase was not to look like all the other truck and Blazer owners out there.

In talking with a bunch of other car/truck guys, I'm hearing to new trend is for something different which is good for me since in the garage is a 1963 Triumph Herald, 1962 Ford Galaxie/Conv 4-speed, 1968 International Travelall and the 1986 K30/CC/SRW along with my 1988 Suburban V1500(DD).

Be different my friend, nothing better than a real nice old school square body crew going down the road!
