Nah, its not mine. I needed a long bed side profile picture to test. I have the tower of power slant six in light silver circa 1987. Me and the kids enjoy using it. I like sitting up more than the car, but I don't want to feed and park something that enormous, though I really dig the looks. I've entertained the idea of putting a 2 liter VW desiel in mine and fully restoring it I just don't have the time nor the money these days to get much accomplished. I did put an air dam on, removed the mirrors and dropped the weight down to just under 2 tons. I run a small door dangle mirror that works well for me too. These trucks seem to attract dents like magnets so I've been trying to smooth it out and make it run true. Chevy vacuum overdrive switch helps me lockup very early once I'm in 3rd and off of the throttle a bit. It still has a deep affection for fuel. Totally the toughest vehicle I've ever witnessed!
