I like the yellow dump truck.

I like the Red Dump Truck. (with bigger tires).

I don't like those skinny little Big Truck Wheel\Tire combos that make the truck lower. (they mainly use them on Tow trucks)

All the info you probably need on these truck can be found here.

I personally think Gm screwed up by not using the Silverado/Sierra cabs on the 4500 and 5500. They would have sold alot more that way, just like Ford does with there F450 and F550's.

Now this one looks good. I just wonder how long before we replace one of our big stake trucks at work. Those things max at 62 mph, and when you go on the freeway from milwaukee to waukesha there is a big hill, by the time the truck makes it up it, it's going only 45 when it's hammered.

it's ok, but i would like the headlights in their normal place. i like the little red dump truck the most, but i would like for it to have bigger wheels.

Paco, that picture of the flatbed was made at the Desert Proving Grounds in Mesa AZ, the mountian over the cab is the Superstition Mountian I lived in it's shadow for 11 years.

pacodiablo · November 10, 2001

cool. doesn't ford also have their proving grounds in AZ?

doverarjim · November 10, 2001

Yes, Paco Ford has one in the western part of the state but I don't know what town it is close to. Chrylsers test center is just east of Yuma, I went by their once and it did not seem like they wanted people from the out side around there. But when I lived near the GM grounds they would not let you inside but they would not run you off if you were outside the gate. We chased rabbits around and sometimes the fence would be down and we could go inside until security would show up and run us off, also I had 5 or 6 different friends work there some as test drivers and some in the repair shops, they had some strange cars and trucks around that place.
