    Well, the Taco is gone. It was fun having it while it lasted. No regrets, no reservations. I just bought a trailer that was too big so had to get a little bit bigger. here is a crappy cell phone pic.

    Thanks. I've never been a diehard on any make of vehicle. a truck is a truck and I use for it's needs. Back when I had an F-250 diesel, I needed that b/c I was towing a lowboy doing landscape work. Stopped doing that and the venues changed. I got the the Taco, b/c that's all I needed then one day my wife and I decided to get a Travel trailer, then the venues changed again and here I am today.

    On a side note. I will have some N-Fab nerf bars for sale that fit a Double Cab and I already have a couple dibs on the air-ride that I need to reply to.

    I really don't like the body style of the Silverado or the front end. The GMC seems much more aggresive on the front end. There are some very subtle difference. My wife doesn't like the Silverado. :notsure:

    And, b/c it was a pre-owned, it was a hell of a lot cheaper than going new.

    I have some Ride Rite Air bags that were on the truck maybe 4 months and used them at medium capacity on two trips. They are in real good shape, except for one quick connect valve that stripped trying to remove from truck. You can get a replacement for that fitting here
    http://www.truckspring.com/products/Inflation-Valve---14-inch__FIR3032.aspx

    I will sell for $200.00 even if you pick it up or $230.00 shipped.

    PM me.

    ********PENDING PAYMENT*********

    N-FAB Nerf Bars. Had them about 6 months. They are still in great condition with no dents or dings or scratches. Of course the driver step has more wear, but no rust.

    These run $280-$330 new. I'll let them go for for $225.00. I have all bolts.

    No shipping on these. Too big.

    nah, no blacked out headlights. The ones the truck had are the ones it came with. It had a blacked chrome on the headlights which looked pretty good. Basically, all I have left are the steps, air ride, ultra-gauge.

    I kept for my new truck the wheels & tires, trailer brake controller, and my cb.

    have to get a new lift and some steps.

    Just wondering, could someone explain this to me. I never really understood the Domestic companies for making multiple brands of the same car. Like the GMC/Chevy Silverado/Sierra. I do like the front end of the Sierra more though.

    I can understand GM's Cadillac line, thats like Lexus to Toyota.
