Single cab long bed? Sure, grandpa. Did you remember to take your pills before bed.
 I used to love the extended cab short beds when I was a kid. With a small lift, it was the epitome of what a truck should look like, to me. My tastes have change a bit, but I still like them. |

The proportions on an extended cab short bed are "just right". Doesn't change the fact that I want an extended cab long bed, though.

I had a 92 Extended Cab. No one ever told me it was the best looking truck in town, like almost everyone said about my Red 1986 Short wide bed.

If you were a guy in the mid 90s and didn't have a hard on for an extended cab Z71 with a 5.7 V8 something was wrong with you.

I like the two tone that was popular in the 80’s and 90’s. Especially the blue and silver fords. I had one come through the shop recently on a modern super duty and it looked really good

I had a 1995 in this color combination but it was a step side. Cowl hood, a lighted visor and no mufflers after the cat. Loud as hell and I liked the looks of it. |

I had a ‘97 3500 5.7, 5-speed. That truck went for who even knows how many miles (speedo was unplugged to defeat the ABS) and was as reliable as a truck could be.

Now I'm going to sound like a geezer, but I don't care for how techy and fancy new trucks are. I love the power of new trucks but the simplicity of the older ones. |

I did however put about 250K miles on it and it took a bunch of starters, alternators, one transmission and both front bearings and umpteen brakes. Oh and a ignition switch that stuck in the on position and wouldn't turn off.  ETA When the alternator seized, it killed the engine and would barely let me move it out of the road. |

Yes, I just sent my ‘96 GMC Sierra Z71 with 325K on the clock to the scrapyard. (salt destroyed the frame) I hated to see it go.

Round headlight GMs are vastly superior.
Ford and Dodge produced a sharper looking truck than the GMT 400 but it really is hard to find an ugly 80-early 90s full-size truck. |

Quote HistoryThe early to mid-'60s Chevy trucks look nice, too. For sentimental reasons, I'll have to disagree with OP and suggest that the previous generation of square body Chevy trucks were the most iconic and the best looking, as they looked exactly like what a work truck or farm truck should be. |
