you might want to buy a refinery to pay for all the fuel too. I do like the 79 silverados tho. My first vehicle was one.

You shush. I have g rand stupid plans to put the body of one of these onto a 99-07 truck chassis and even swap the cab floors between the trucks to get better seats. I would also possibly shorten it to a short bed SRW. Essentially restomod.

why not start with something that is closer to a short wheel base? LMC sells body panel re-pops that wouldn’t have any rust at all too.

Well ideally I would find one that's not a dually. Just finding a non rusty crew cab is hard around here in the upper Midwest. I don't think they actually made a short bed crew cab though.

They did not make a short bed crew cab until the GMT-800 bodystyle.

I was about to tell you don’t buy an anemic 350 powered truck like that.... but you’re an informed consumer and picked TWO 454 trucks! If only we all had the money for all our wants... wish in one hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up faster!

The Chevy has VELOUR seats. But the GMC has a newer engine.
Clearly you need to buy BOTH!

If only we had the money for all of the
gasoline
... Those trucks probably get about 4 mpg. Or is that GPM?

4mpg is about right. Down hill with a tail wind, empty, and well waxed with properly inflated tires!
