PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

@Iamraiderpower

Unfortunately, this one has the dubious 6.5L Turbo Diesel, but it's still a sweet-looking truck! This was at the 2015 Carlisle GM Nationals, and I had the opportunity to chat with the owner. He told me this particular truck was the slowest and worst-towing truck he'd ever had, all because of that 6.5L diesel engine! However, this is a fairly uncommon truck (at least in this condition). It is a base SL, but in addition to A/C (which wasn't standard by then but was pretty common in GMT400s from 1995-onward), it also had cruise control, tilt steering, and an AM/FM cassette!

@Jamesboy2233 If you look closely in the first photo, you will see a beige Honda Passport (the Isuzu Rodeo's badge-engineered twin from 1994-2002)...

Damn GM diesel from 70s until the Duramax was shit. The duramax on other hand is a pretty stout bitch

 

Same truck, from the rear...

We all know this, but the Duramax is a great engine!

 

That GMC 3500 dually with the 6.5L is still a sick-looking truck though, right?

Mmmm...

UNIMOG...

 

What does the latest version of the 2.7L have?!?!

 

What does my truck have?

 

No wonder the V6s don't last as long...

I take back what I said in the "Unimog" thread!

 

Tundra V8 went 1 million miles...just sayin

 

I think the engine in your truck is better than the 4.0Ls in the 2nd gens...

 

Now let’s not get too carried away here..

 

Did you see that other white GMC? The 2500 extra-cab?

@Iamraiderpower

What'd ya think of that white GMC 2500?!?!

 

Think about it...

Fred Flintstone had a "zero emissions" car before it was cool...



Tesla, eat your heart out!

 

I dig it. Needs to drop the side boxes and we’re good

 

You may have noticed the scaffolding in the background. This is one of those trucks whose owner I struck up a conversation with and ended up getting permission to "go nuts" with the photography. The owner was working on that old house in the background. The truck was either a 1999 or 2000, and the owner bought it brand new right off the lot at Star Buick-GMC in Easton, Pennsylvania (note dealer logo on tailgate). According to the owner, the truck has A/C, cruise, tilt, and a 350cid/5.7L V8 mated to a 4-speed automatic. Since this is a post-1995 truck, it DOES NOT have that GOD AWFUL spider-injection/TBI system. This beast has a VORTEC! Unfortunately, it's doing the one-tire fire, as it has an open rear diff.

This C1500 has the SLT trim, which means it is fully loaded and has leather seats...
