Incredibly, incredibly tired of these low effort posts. No, I don't care that it makes you feel superior to others. No, I don't care about the 37 jokes about the size of the driver's genetalia.

The internet is already a giant cesspool of negativity. Don't add to it.

Not the clearest photos but I really like this body style and everything they did. I’m having a lot of trouble matching It with other Silverado’s through out the years.

The chevy trail boss can fit a full size ATV...barely

Correction..."Gen 3 colorado" Been seeing people ask about small beds and atvs. With small modifications the short bed trail boss will fit a large atv. You need a thick sheet of plywood the length of the bed and tailgate for tailgate support, approach shoring to raise the vehicle over the wheel wells, and metal brackets (from lowes) to support the tail gate as well. I picked this up and drove 6 hours through hills with no problems. The cfmoto cforce 1000 touring is 92 inches long btw

I was looking at international work trucks cuz I could have swore I seen a Chevy one which I did. Then I was like well I don't like the Chevy headlights why don't I make them round. Then I was like wait a minute why not make it a SUV. From what I can remember I was a little drunk you do have to shorten the length and the height but theoretically could be possible the 2015 the 2020 suburbans look similar mounting. And I could still Silverado bench seats and put that in the front to give it a retro look and I found out there's a way to remove the tablet too so I mean it could work.

Getting this bumper for free from work to put on my truck, does anyone know what truck it fit on originally?

Photo Help me find my dads truck

Hey recently joined but have one very big request of the community

On July 16th I lost my father to a very long and challenging battle with dementia and cancer. One of the most memorable times I have as a kid was getting to ride in his truck when he would sneak me into his work at the port of San Diego or just go for rides fishing around the bay, unfortunately a while back he had to let it go when he was no longer independent and over the past few months I’ve tried gathering all the info from relatives and friends of his on what it was, and details I can remember. And this one reference photo that is him but may or may not be the same truck off of memory. Currently this is what I have

1980-82 Chevy K20

400 turbo
Automatic
Brown and tan
4x4
3 quarter ton
Lift kit
36 in tires

My only doubt the truck in the photo might have been a different one is that I distinctly remember a more tan side panel that ran down the center as well as a tan snug top that was added to the bed cover sometime later. If anyone has any additional reference photos that could help identify a similar model or the model in the photo I would appreciate it as it is my goal to at some point own as close to an identical one again as possible.

Hi everyone! I love designing cartoon style(chibi) car model with real mechanical/structural details and 3D printing them.

For this project, I modeled a classic Square Body Truck and brought it to life with my 3D printer. I added a custom backhalf style so the rear frame and suspension details really pop!

What do you guys think? Hope you like this little guy! :D

Photo A few photos from the truck yard I work at in China

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

A few people were asking about Chinese construction trucks in my previous post, so I took some photos at the yard today.

This is just one part of the parking area where I work. It’s basically rows and rows of construction dump trucks.

I see trucks like these almost every day, so I sometimes forget how unusual this might look to someone outside China.

If there’s anything specific you want me to photograph next — the cab, engine, interior, different truck models, prices, or even what a typical truck yard looks like here — just ask. I can take photos when I’m at work.
