In the box where it says BILAR click on chevrolet.
Next that will expand the box,click on silverado.
Next click on the pic of the GMC then look at the Black Chev in the lower left box.Look at the Directional marker behind the front wheel , the headlights and fender flares. Real different.
Look at all the other makes also.
What do you think?

I spent 3 years in Iceland. I made MANY glacier runs and trips into the interior snow fields with these guys. My 84 land cruiser on 38s was considered just adequate because of the small tires! Those guys do some fantastic things to trucks and vans.

Ditto! Where can we get them? I'd also like the head lights. Any ideas where to buy them?

From 93 to 96 the average price of the flairs was around $750.00 in Iceland. Throw in shipping and customs charges and you'd be looking at somewhere around $1,000 to get them over here. I have no idea what the current prices are. They are fiberglass, painted to match, and in whatever width you need to cover the tread on your tires. I'm not sure what make/sizes tires they use now either. Back then the BFG A/T was the tire of choice in the small sizes, 35s and below. The Dick Cepek Fun Country was preferred for 36s and up. You saw very few full size pick ups with 40s. 38s were the biggest radial you could get. A 38 radial will give as good, or better flotation, when aired down, than a 40 biased ply. So they usually went from 38s up to 42s. The majority ran 44s. They used the Fun Country because it gave the best traction through out the winter. An agressive mud terrain tire was great in late fall, early spring, when the snow was real wet but tore up the packed snow too much in winter. The wheel choice was different than you will see on off-road rigs over here. In Iceland, wider was better. In the snow fields and on the glaciers they want as wide a foot print as possible. I had my Land Cruiser rims widened to 13 inches for my 38x15.50s. The Icelanders thought I should have gone to 14. With the 44s most were running 16 inch wide rims but I know of a couple of guys who had 18s. Most have rims with two valve stems. One has a core for normal air pressure adjustments. There is no core in the other stem for rapid airing down and airing back up with a CO2 bottle. Unless the snow is really crusted over they will drop the air pressure to 10-15psi as soon as they go off of the pavement. As the going gets harder the air pressure comes down. The lead vehicle has to be at the lowest psi of the group. Depending on snow conditions, the vehicles following can be 1 to 3, sometimes as much as 5 psi higher. I have done trips where the lead vehicle was at 1 or 2 psi for 60 miles and the last rig was only 5 psi. Naturally, speeds are pretty low at those pressures. BTW, the Fun Country in a 44 went for $900.00 each when I was there. Gas was $4.00 per gallon. You saw lots of diesels over there. Diesel was around $1.75 per gallon but they had to pay a road tax based on the number of miles driven per year. The "State" put a tamper-proof odometer on each diesel rig to ensure they got accurate readings. I had the time of my life over there. I'd go back in a heart beat!!
