: The new rig...


High Sierra 2500

Here it is... Tranny is cookin', motor quits every now and then, it's a PITA to start, and the front end is so loose it's ridiculous... But it runs... It'll have to last till I get an engine put in my 2500.

It is kinda fun though, it has a ton of body roll, and combined with the loose steering it handles similar to a sailboat...

And I really don't remember if it's a Chevy or a GMC... The badges are all mismatched for some reason. It is an '85 though. And yes I think that's an '83 grill and bumper.

I see you have one of those gizmos on your bumper near your tag that makes your tag look white when you run a red light so the traffic cams cant see your tag.

Meh, my 2500 has been lookin' pretty sad too. This 1500 is all one color at least... Mechanically though?

It's really weird, a lot of stuff that's not wrong with this truck is wrong with my other one and vice versa... Radio works in this one, not in the other... Steering is nice and tight in my 2500, this one feels very disconnected... They both have kinda lousy tires, this one has REALLY lousy tires though...

Cosmetically though I'd say they're either tied or this one has a slight edge due to the fact that it's one color.
