Craigslist truck. Thought it interesting he is running 255/85r16 up front and 305/70r16 in rear to offset the offset.

That makes a lot of sense, the narrower tires on the front take some of the stress of the front suspension and steering components.

Dead link now apparently. ...

While looking to see if YOT still had 88-94 fuse covers (they don't currently, not even listed) I noticed they're having a $10-off sale on their 95-98 column shrouds, if anybody needs one. $60 doesn't seem too shabby for a brand new piece, if you can't find a good used one. https://www.youroldtruck.com/products/for-1995-1999-chevy-gmc-c1500-k1500

I saw this on The Autopian website; it makes some valid points about our trucks. Interesting to learn some of the design language, and hear from owners outside this forum.

Why General Motors' GMT400 Truck Design Remains Legendary 30 Years Later - The Autopian

The late Sir Terence Conran, foremost of the wave of industrial designers who introduced design literacy to a grey post-war Great Britian, believed everyone’s lives could be improved with a better-designed salad bowl. I’m not sure about that, seeing as salads are to be endured rather than...

Thats actually a very reasonable price in this market for essentially a brand new rust free southern 8-lug 2500 truck! If I were looking for a new truck, I wouldn't hesitate buying a 1-way plane ticket to Tampa for that truck!

No doubt. It was just posted, so it's probably their feeler ask. I'm sure it can be negotiated down.

Honestly, if that truck was sitting side by side with a 2024 Silverado 2500 w/75k sticker, that would be a steal at 18k. Got mine 3 1/2 years ago w/46k for $4500. I still can’t believe that. I believe that truck is definitely worth it still.
