re: Would You Drive This? Regular Cab, Short Bed full sized truck

Yup, I love the look of a regular cab short bed truck.

I had a charcoal grey silverado Z-71 reg cab short bed. I chromed it out, leveled it, and put mud tires on it and it was sharp as hell.

ETA: It had the 5.3L V8. frick a V6 truck.

That’s how everyone with a truck rolled back in my day. It’s all there was.

I like them. My first vehicle was a an 89 singlecab sidestep Chevy. I loved the ones they put the 454s in. There are a few upgrades and customizations to be made from stock but can be setup real nice.

My first truck was a 96 regular cab long bed chevy. Cost $15k brand new. Wouldn’t drive it today as I need more space but that full Bench seat was great for some road head

I prefer the Honda Ridgeline

Nah

The other day I was thinking about how, in 2001, I had the option to buy a brand-new new regular cab short bed Silverado 4x4 with a stick shift (4.3 Vortec V6) or a slightly-used 1998 four-door S-10 Blazer. Truck was slightly more total price, but with 0% financing all the rage then, the note would have been actually within a couple dollars of the Blazer - both through GMAC.

I went with the Blazer. That was the single crappiest vehicle I have ever owned in my entire life. (Dex-Cool )

Now, there are almost zero stick-shift trucks available, (Tacoma, Gladiator, or work-truck level Colorado or Canyon) and zero full-size trucks with a stick available.

I sure would. Most people with extra cabs just throw shite and junk back there. That's what the bed is for. Kinda like people who have a garage packed to the rafters with junk and have to park in the driveway.
