I have owned many and would like to own another but between having a wife and kids and the massive rebates/discounts on a crew i just can't justify the high cost of todays regular cab trucks. A loaded Z71 gets well into the 40s.

 

By the way yours looks nice. Jealous.

 

You're right, the regular cabs are expensive as compared to what you can buy an extended cab for. I wanted a double cab, but it would barely fit in my garage and I wasn't going back to parking outside so I went with an regular cab LT.

Looking good. I park in the garage too. My crew/short has 6 inches to spare in the garage. A single cab would fit much better! My last single cab was an 09 and loaded 5.3 LT 2wd. The dealer offered me a basic 5.3 2wd LT crew for the exact same money.

I have a Double Cab, and would never buy a Regular Cab for a daily driver, but some of Regular Cabs do look really nice. They are the only variant that looks good lowered to me, both the current one's and the older C-10's. There's nothing like a Chevy low rider pickup done right.

I had a hard time finding a RCSB The Lots are Loaded with 4 doors. Maybe I'm old school, I prefer 2 doors.

That would be something interesting to find out, the ratio of single cabs to crews. I'd bet it is 500 to 1 at least. I'm with you but life just won't allow me to own a single cab right now. Edited by smrr1

They remind me of a smart car.. Even the double cabs confuse me with 4 doors. Just can't seem to get in to them

Here's mine. This blue seems to be a popular colour for the shorty's.

Good looking trucks guys! Don't see them as much these days.

 

I would have a RC if it wasn't for the wife and kids, I use my rig for mostly long trips towing the trailer with the whole family.

Blue was my first choice when I bought my '14 RCSB, but there were none to be found within 300 miles of the dealers I shopped.

 

And to date I've never seen one in person.

    • Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks. 
    • With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece. 
    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
