The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '73-'87 Trucks -- "The Rounded Line" Rebuilding a 1977 GMC, C-15, Short Bed, 2WD

New trucks are ridiculous. One of my friends has a couple years old GMC and the darn thing is so tall that it requires a motorized step to even get up into it. The Duramax drivetrain is amazing, yes, but the bed is five feet off the ground! How you gonna load stuff into said 5' long bed without hurting your back liftin' it in? And this giant rig has less cargo capacity, literally, than an 1984 Toyota HiLux longbed pickup. What a joke. It's a jacked up four door station wagon only the cargo area is open.
