Well I've decided to step up and get a "New" new truck. Wanting a GMC with a 5.3 V8. Now I'd like 4x4 but don't really need it. And I can't figure out if I need a crew cab or just an extended cab    :stupid

Then there's the whole cloth or leather. Probably go with cloth, light tan or grey.  :stupid

Ok now what color do I like, the dark bright blue, grey blue, cremson red, and a brownish slate color they have.  :stupid

Sounds like you need to pull out a pile of change and start flip'n.  :D

Just My thoughts...
If you don't "need" it don't get it. (i.e. 4x4)
Colors. What color is the boat your towing?  :D   :good
If you drive neked. Get cloth. Leather sticks.  :laugh
Exeended or Crew cab. Do you want people to go to the lake with ya.  :D

This will be my work truck also. It may have to haul crap all around AZ and NM. It will end up with some kinda lockable cover for the bed.

And what is this going to the lake you speak of?    :D

I put an ARE on my truck in '02. Love It. Nice thing about it is it is has it's own mounting frame that clamps to the bed instead of drilling holes and making the bed look like swiss cheese. I had it off a little over a year ago and put those bed rail caps on. The nylon ones from Weston/Wade. Shoulld have done that years ago.  :good

I was debatable between the two when I bought mine but the ST was cheaper and looked just as good at the time, didn't drill the bed either I used clamps, hasn't moved in 27 years so I guess it worked pretty good.. :good

Well an even cooler part of this line of work is the "Demo" plan. Let me try your product out so I can show it to people  :D

The lockable roll tops are neat, they even come in electric remote style now :good

I'll get some pics up later. I went with a 2wd crew cab, the mocha steel with tan cloth interior, does have the SLE package which adds some bells and whistles. Has the extra heavy duty cooling and tow package with 3.43 posi.

Haven't had a new whip in about 12 years. I'm diggin it  :beer  :good
