Might as well add this truck to the 8-lug photo thread:
It's a 220K mile '99 C2500, all original L29 454/4L80-E/14 bolt FF 4.10 G80 drivetrain
with the 8600 GVWR suspension & JD7 brakes.
The PO upgraded to LT265/75R16 tires, while I blasted & refinished the original
steelies to match the Indigo Blue metallic color of the truck.
It's a low-key plain Jane chore truck, and the heavy duty aesthetic really appealed to me.
Here in upstate NY it receives plenty of attention from fellow truck enthusiasts, and is a hoot
to lumber around in whenever I get the opportunity.
If you haven't already seen the 'renewal' thread, here's a link if this has piqued your interest
in what it's like to be fixing up an old 8-lug beast here in the rust belt.
