    Larry's 1978 K10

    As long as I'm coming there will always be a possibility to use either winch. I should know, I've been on the end of either cable a time or two.

    Project “Polar Bear”: 1989 V2500 Suburban

    I do remember during my traveling times, a very large boneyard in Missoula Montana. I wandered through it in between one of my dealer visits. Seemed to have a pretty wide selection of stuff. It's been 10 or so years, but it's worth a shot. On the other side of the range in Billings is...

    Project “Polar Bear”: 1989 V2500 Suburban

    There's been a couple Burbs roaming or parked in Canon. Heck we even had a really Clean 91 1/2 ton burb come through the dealership I work at there in town a few months back. I'll keep an eye out too.

    1968 Chevy K10 SWB Overlander

    Historical truck. 292's were rare as it's been said, even more so in a 4wd. Nice thing about the desert southwest is little to no corrosion on parts. Paint and interiors take a beating due to the many days of sun we get combined with the high altitude but that stuff is easier to address...

    Any pop-up truck campers that aren't obscenely wide? Trying to find the ideal one

    Just a little note on Larry's camper. I've had the pleasure of taking a couple of overnighter's out with Larry and the truck. As far as a limit on size/capacity with the narrow size it's not that bad. It's not overly "tight" with the two of us in there but it's ok to deal with. I'm not a...

    I just spent four hours with the new 2014 GMC Sierra....wow!

    We got 2 2014's in stock right now. Just sold a Z71 LTZ 1 day off the transport. Of the 2 we have left we have a well equipped Z71 LTZ and another Z71 LT. Both are Much nicer inside than the old GMT900's ever were. For 4wd's my only beef is they sit low. That 2.5" leveling kit will be...

    Ford Bronco or Chevy K5 Blazer

    I'm partial to the K5. Just think of the mass range of compatability of 14 years of production on top of further compatibility to later powertrains. Under the hood of the K5 it can have any small block from the original Gen 1 to the LS Gen III's, Big blocks up to the monster 8.1L or 6.2-6.5...

    Project “Polar Bear”: 1989 V2500 Suburban

    Dang you weren't fooling around this week were you! Looks good. Maybe I need to swipe it while you are out of town for the snow run next week!

    How many of us bring dutch oven along?

    I'm most certainly a noob when it comes to DO cooking but i'm trying. My wife pulled a DO potroast reciepe off of a website and we made it when camping with my son and our 2 cousins. I was fighting the three boys off to get the last bits off the bottom of the oven. No worries about...

    All new 2014 Silverado/Sierra launch airing live 12-13-12 at 9:30 EST

    It might be that we got at least 15 on the lot right now in all flavors. Kinda like looking at something bright, it's all you see. It's more square shouldered with a little more rake to the windshield. The differences aren't as dramatic as say the change from our beloved squares from 87 to...

    All new 2014 Silverado/Sierra launch airing live 12-13-12 at 9:30 EST

    Time will tell for sure. I like the thoughts and ideas being put into the new GM trucks. Styling-wise they share a pretty good resemblance to the 900's they replace to me. Better looking, but how the hell did they manage to make the front bumper hang lower and the top of the bedsides go...

    Larry's 1978 K10

    I know I'd love to go get it. Just can't pull it off right now. Dig the national geographic map wallpaper though!

    Larry's 1978 K10

    There's a K5 on the Denver craigslist right now with a 4wheel popup camper. $4500 isn't a bad price and the K5 it's on don't look bad either. If I had the extra coin I'd go right after it. Here's the link: http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/3373608268.html

    Lift Gate or door?

    I'm torn. My K5's gate is useful when camping as many things. Food prep, dining table, bench seating and the like. However it makes loading and unloading a chore trying to get gear all the way forward to the back seat. It's times like that I'd wish that my K5 had a liftgate like a...

    1994 Chevrolet K5 Blazer. Trans issue

    No adjustment on that issue can be done. It's more likely internal to the trans. The best bet is to have a local shop check it out. Ask around so you know you are talking to an outfit that has a good reputation. I know dealers take a bad rap for being expensive, but they know those better...

    Larry's 1978 K10

    I'll say it again here....Congrats on the upcoming bundle of joy! I'm sure your Dad is smiling down and going to do what he can to make the pregnancy uneventful. Plus I'm sure the stork in these parts drives an old square body Chevy!

    77 Chevy K10 Silverado

    The seat is the only thing that doesn't look stock. Looks like unit from the likes of a van conversion company style. Even back then they did custom stuff for trucks as well as vans. I bet if you looked hard enough in some old 4x4 magazines from the late 70's you might find an ad for a...

    What do I do?

    Here's the thing, I see all brands of trucks come through our shop. Customer's and trades alike. A 3/4 ton truck has the same bits and pieces under it if it is a gas engine or a diesel. Guess what, on the the GM stuff I see the same issues you are talking about on a 3/4 ton with gas engine...

    Project “Polar Bear”: 1989 V2500 Suburban

    Funny guy! I think the boss will feel more at home in the Loco Mocha 'hoe than the bimmer. Besides if you were crazy enough to even think about trading in the Polar Bear I'd be the one with first dibs at the shop. Plus the bear was no where to be seen this morning at the shop! Congrats...
