Chevy's in the wild

Right, I have trucks for different purposes, they just all happen to be GM 4x4 SUVs
. Well, I do have a car, too, and it's technically also a GM 4x4.
Saw a few of them Chevys while out there today.
After look’n at these two pictures taken from up above I am think’n that the step-side is on rear jack stands because there ain’t no doubt that the 10-Bolt has given up the ghost - as they all eventually do…
And the gas can in the back of the C/10 tells us that most likely the fuel gauge in that truck don’t work.

Is that how Rad in that Dodge broke his rear axle shaft last weekend?!?!
Them 30-spline axles in the D-60’s just ain’t cutt’n it.
No, he actually broke it turning out of a gas station (heavy throttle but no spinning). I can’t believe he hasn’t broken one before now.
He did order 2 cut to length Yukon 4340 replacements.
Yes it does - this K-5 that @fourwheelerjeff posted has a great stance too.
Gotta love a K-5 that’s set up just right!
Maybe one day he will add four more additional splines on them axles so replacement won’t become a common issue.
I believe he said it had an 8" lift and 37s
There are a few Chevys in the wilds of Anchorage, AK.
A survivor.
A bit crusty on the bottom edges but mostly there

If I got a new Chevy does it count? The only brand new Chevrolet I've ever had, I think this one should last me quite a long time, possibly a couple decades as a daily family truck and tow vehicle (knock on wood). I just need to keep it from rusting somehow in the WI winters, which is a whole other subject!
2024 Silverado LTZ 2500HD 6.6 L8T/Allison 10 speed
I drove it home from the dealer and took off the Z71 rancho shocks and bolted on some Bilsteins. Added a tonneau and some GM mud flaps and running boards, I'm rather excited. Feels so solid and it sit's higher, feels like you are going slower.

I know what ya mean about the ride height and not realizing how fast you’re goin in those things.
I drove a buddy of mines 2023 2500 Duramax ( whatever the engine code it is now ? ) back from Mississippi to Florida last month and wasn’t aware that I was doin 90 MPH at one point - those trucks are SMOOTH !
Nice truck.
The ride height is stupid on any newer truck. My RAM 3500 4wd is so high stock, that I had to put my knee on the rocker, then pull on the steering wheel to get in. And I slid out and it hurt my joints. Not to mention destroying the seat. AMP running boards fixed that.
No short jokes.

You should see how it feels in a big rig.
When I was in my twenties I could hoist myself up in a square with a total of 13” of lift with 44” tall tires - it was rough but did it without complaining.
Now, 30+ yrs later I have to use the running boards on all these newer H.D. rides of every make and I’m 6-1” which ain’t short - just worn slap-ass out…
I can't for some reason use the d@mn running boards. 
I have em, but I always step over it getting in, and past it sliding out. It's a habit I can't seem to break.
It adds a whole nother step/action, to getting into a truck, and after about 35 years of doing so, my brain can't process it lol.
If I happen to think about it I can. But 90% of the time I don't.

Wait until you have a hip replaced. The running board will get used.
