Steve's Big Black Truck

[TwoBallScrewBall]

I thought I would update my sig in case anyone was having sig pic withdrawls with Ray being in Iboats LIMBO (edited). It's only 20K I think that's within limits...<br /><br />Here she is, my new baby, 2004 2WD Silverado XCab Flareside, 5.3L V8. Tow package of course. If you look closely you can just barely see my yellow and black S-10 that I used as a trade in. This was the first day I had the truck and the dealer told me to bring the trade back whenever I got the Alpine stereo out of it so I had both trucks for a day. And unlike Ray's sig this IS MY truck. <br /><br />Later,

Re: Steve's Big Black Truck

This was my trade-in. It was lowered 2" from the factory and I went down another 2 in the front and 3 in the back for a total 4/5 drop. And it had the coveted front and rear ZQ8 SWAY BARS (stock)!!!! It really did handle like a sporstcar. I loved it and I do miss it but according to the wife I needed something with a more useful back seat now that we have a daughter.... Who am I to argue?<br /><br />

Good lookin' truck Steve. I was lookin' at one the other day with the Supersport package. Really made me drool. My current Silverado is getting ready for a visit to the body shop. Seemed this buck didn't like the color. Maybe next year I trade her in. Hope you like the new toy!!

Re: Steve's Big Black Truck

Yeah the SS was hot, they had an all black one where I bought this truck. $45K is a bit steep for a pickup, though!!! If you want to go fast you can buy a vette for that much! They had a 2003 Vette there new for $36,000!

Thats an awesome looking rig. And they say black looks even better in the shade??<br /><br />Heres a picture of my truck. My payload capacity isn't as much as yours is though.<br /><br />

I Love the 911 with the wale tail! Very nice! What year is she?

Re: Steve's Big Black Truck

Same year I got my license. 1986.<br />Sort of like Boston Whalers, they stopped making the classics in 1989.<br /><br />A 1988-1989 911 is more valuable than a comparable 1991-1992...<br /><br />

Re: Steve's Big Black Truck

Ok so the S-10 probably didn't handle as good as THAT sportscar! Looks like it's a cream puff there, is it a showcar or a driver or both?

Re: Steve's Big Black Truck

nice rig Steve, looks like you were a real S-10 fanatic til ya sold out to the Leather Lined Barge crowd <br /><br />Think that a 255-60-15 tire would fit on a 15x7 rim? overall height is the same as the 205 75 15, so the speedo would be accurate<br /><br />By the way, pretty porsche, but lets see how well it corners with a dozen sheets of plywood on board<br /><br /> <br /><br />(Of course, if ya drop the 930 Turbo in there, that Whale Tail would have quite a tale to tell! )

Re: Steve's Big Black Truck

Yeah I had a lot of sweat and paychecks in that S10. Great little truck. No complaints whatsoever. The silverado doesn't have leather so I'm not quite a sellout, just needed something bigger. It's still a pickup!!! <br /><br />The 255 would probably fit on a 7" rim but it would be pushing it. I think a 225 or 235 is the widest 'recommended' tire for a 7" rim. I've seen a 305 mounted on an 8" rim. Never popped off but it sure looked like it could at any given moment.

Re: Steve's Big Black Truck

Nice looking truck, for a Chevy that is. I'm a Ford man myself, but I confess I've oggled a few of those Siverados. I hope I don't offend anyone here, but I think the Avalache is about the ugliest truck I've ever seen.
