Quote HistoryTook two pages for the correct answer. I have an 83 GMC 2wd SWB Dad has my grandfather’s 95 GMC 2wd SWB If I found a clean 95-98 SWB ext Z71 I’d get it. But 67-72 are prettiest |

And unless you’re posting old power wagons, Dodge has never made even a decent looking truck.
Dodges have always been hideous |

Ahh......Chevy trucks. On a quiet night you can hear them rust.

I had a dark blue regular cab 1988 Chevy step side 2wd,
It had bfg 31x10.5x15 tires. Mine was an 88, not a 92 so it had different headlights, not actually 4wd, dark blue, , and had different wheels, but otherwise identical to this  V6, 5 speed. Awesome  I always thought these were cool but all ove them needed a 2”+lift from the factory

I miss my 99 1500, whomever thought of the A/C vent to the nuts under the steering column is a genius. I graduated to 2500 HD's afterwards.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ah, I was wondering what a "short wide bed" was.  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: SWB = Short Wheel Base Ah, I was wondering what a "short wide bed" was. Common vernacular and almost no one uses it as Short Wheel Base. It is Short Wide Body and Short Step Side. No one uses Fleetside to describe a short wheel base truck. No one that matters anyway.  Obviously it is regional http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=191260 |

Quote HistoryQuoted: But what dimension is "Wide" in reference to?  Was there also a "Narrow" model available to choose from?  That’s some "Double Wide" terminology right there...  You had wide beds and step sides. The step side beds were a lot skinnier on the inside. |

Neighbor had an extended cab Z71 in dark blue in the mid/late 90s. It was the sexist thing I had ever seen, and all I ever wanted in life. That was before crew cabs became the norm....
