Out with the old, in with the new. AGAIN!!
Well last year at this very time I was looking for a Chevy pick up to take over for my beloved full size Blazer that was rusting away.
I could not find a Chevy that was in my price range or that looked sound. So as a old Ford guy I thought I would try them again. Which lead me to by a 1999 Ford F150 and I was happy about my buy! But not for long in less then one year I added $1,000+ in repairs and it still needs $1,700 more!! Well I have had it! So with one week to go before my year was up I traded the **** box and have come back from the dark side and now own a Chevy!! It is a 2002 Chevy Z71 4X4 6.0 Vortec engin Ext Cab with seating for 6. Has a 6 1/2 bed with a roll n lock cover. I hope it will last me a long while!!

Re: Out with the old, in with the new. AGAIN!!
Whew!!! Nice truck. I've had three chevys and they never let me down. My current 95 just pulled my V20 14 hours down and back from the Florida Keys in scorching heat. It has 190,000 miles and runs great. Hey man whats with the spare tire just thrown on that swim platform? Have some respect for that V20. :D
