And yes trucks are good therapy. I try to get a daily dose every day.

Go for it, if the price is right. It'll look good next to that Chevy. It will also be fun comparing the differences between the two. I found out through the years of disassembling the two, that the GMC's were alittle sturdier. That's why I prefer them more now. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 63 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 63 | Good thought, spanky.
I just figured the differences were mostly cosmetic.

One small example was that I noticed where the Chevrolet's used alot of rivits, GMC used bolts instead. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,074 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,074 | Wow, if you do feel like documenting the comparison of the two, that would make a great article.
