Bit the bullet and bought a new truck

Looking good Bryce.

 

How's it tow, and handle a load?

@ebinmaine It seems to handle everything I've thrown at it pretty well...I can put the camper in the back and not even know it's back there. I moved all our stuff out to the ranch with it and the big cage trailer we have at work (pictured above in this thread) and it does notice a load when pulling a long hill, but not a deal breaker, probably wouldn't think anything of it if I wasnt used to driving 454s and 460s. Most recently I used Rodger's 20' flatbed to haul his John Deere R out to the guy who's putting it back together, and out here on flat ground it handled it really well

 Starting at post 15 we are looking at that beauty of a truck inside a rather tall building. I have never seen a building framed like that. It almost looks like it could have infill siding made from pallets or something.   Comments please.

@ohiofarmer that's the shop I work in...its just a plain metal framed building with spray foam insulation covering the walls and ceiling

Gotta love them southern trucks... That girl here in WI would have the rocker panels rusted clean away long ago!

Yep, that’s why Norman our ‘01 2500HD from Norman, OK doesn’t see winter... just a nap in the barn!

Yup ...same with the Dodge with a battery tender on it. Dan says what's the use of putting the winter cover on the front. Just in case the GMC  bones me and it's gotta come out I said.

Since when does a well maintained GM product bone ya Jim?  If it does, you must be trying for that!
