Re: Pic Thread: Me & My Truck(s) 2018

I found a regular cab shortbed (red) that someone did the SS job on. I went to buy it but someone had just made the deal... bummer

I really disliked these trucks when the came out, and it seems many still feel that way from what I see here. But they have grown on me as a modern classic. I actually like the chiseled lines... which I feel emanate Cadillac styling. The GMT400s trimmed the fat and the result was a super clean no BS body style. Then they pumped some fat back in till the 800s came out all trimmed back again but more chiseled than rounded. It is very distinctive styling unlike the model before or after. It is the last of it's kind, I feel, and marks the era quite well
