Found a couple more...92' Dakota with a 318 .40 over, 2" body lift to fit the big trans, huge cam, some head work, custom multi port fuel system, custom built computer, sitting on 285/70/17s in this picture.
Also pictured in that last pic is my 97' burb. Bought it needing a fuel pump and it say In the driveway for a few weeks before I fixed it. Two days after I got it going I how two moose...one down each side of the truck. Got it fixed and did a 4" lift and 33s. I'll have to find some more pics of it when I get a chance. This was the only one in the pile I just looked through.
Not sure if you can tell in the "pic of a pic" but those are hoof marks down the whole side of it from a moose. That truck ended its days with a big ass bull moose to the windshield. His rack is currently under the snow on my front porch.

Yep. It shuts down 4 cylinders as you go. It would shut down at under 75ish on level ground. Did great. Around 20mpg everyday driving.
My current full size with the same package (4 years newer) won't get over 19.5 no matter what I do. Everyday it is like 15mpg. Disappointed in its mpg that is for sure. The newer does have 60 more ponies...
I'd love to someday build a box style Chevy...crew cab, short bed, cummins swap on 38s. Street legal of corse. Or a mid 90's in the same fashion with a SAS. Those are far far away dreams though.
Buddy had a 85 w/305 nice truck, but a gas guzzling gutless motor though.... That fiberglass top was a three man job as well too take off and on....
Nice summer ride with the top off though....
That would be the way to go- Minus the horrible 6.2L diesel. I swapped more parts on those than you would imagine.
I bumped the motorcycle thread to the top. Added some of those old pics as well since I have been digging thru pics lately. More good memories.
Here are some more for you Giles. I have had a lot of tires, brake jobs, and titles pass thru my life. lol
I think Giles will like "Big Black." She was a 1991 Dodge 2wd with Cummins. Bazillion miles but just plugged away. Also a 95 dodge 2500 with CTD. Couldn't find any better pics of that one. Couldn't find any pics of the 95 Dodge 3500 I had either. That was my first CTD. I think there is a pic of the old Danger Ranger I had as well. I know there are others I am missing. I know we had a few trucks never make the road as they were for parts. I know there is an 05 Colorado out back. Nothing special though. Just a plain jane work truck 2wd reg cab special. Haven't started looking for pics of my old cars yet. 79 Pontiac Gran Prix, 76 Cutlass, 1992 Lumina Z34 was a fun one on the highway, 1992 GMC Sonoma was one of my first rides too. Hmmm . . . . What else am I forgetting? I don't know, but this has been fun. Thanks Dave!

I can't believe no one has said anything about that 55' Chevy on 44s in the background... That was one sick rig. That guy blew the trans helping me out. I still wish I'd at least got the guy's name.
I believe it was a Trans am shirt... That was me about 35 years ago and many pounds. lol... The one with the hat on the street was the day after a AC/DC concert.
Because of the 327 block, I got bumped a class and had to usually ended up racing the late model vets.
Sure is fun, isn't it?! I've gone through a lot of old memories since Phil started talking about "the 78'
