I took my Trailboss sticker off the first day I had it. One if those things that 10 years from now we will look back and say "remember when Chevy made a "Trailboss!?"

Yah I am not big into the name either. I am going to remove the tailgate badges and maybe hit the trail boss sticker. It looks good taken off on your truck.

“Trail Boss” is tame compared to some of the packages throughout the 70s and 80s. The “Gentleman Jim” has to be the worst...

I had a Big 10 back in the seventies, but I don't ever remember seeing the gentleman Jim. That's awful.

Looking at it today you'd say yea it was "gaudy" but, actually, it was an awesome truck back in 1975.  I remember my uncle having a new one.  Wish they would've been a short bed instead as I'm not a fan of the long bed.

My favorite was one my dad had. A 1970 C-10 CST. It had a tac dash, 402, posi, red and white and 3 on the tree. It was fast but on washboard dirt roads the back end would dance all over, coil springs I believe.

Mine arrived about a month ago.  Ordered in Oct, but had to wait for Chevy to start building the Crew Cab standard bed.  Traded a 2011 Silverado Ext Cab and this truck is built so much better its ridiculous.   I can see those coming from a 2016 or higher, not that impressed, but coming from a 2011 the difference is mind blowing.   Not pictured is the Bakflip X2 cover on the truck and removed the larger antenna for short stub.  No noticeable loss in radio reception.  Just fits in the garage.

This is good to hear.  I have a 2010 and keep hearing everyone complain about the interior.  When I test drove one comparing to the 2010 I was blown away.  How do you like the std bed.  This is what I am planning on ordering also.

It's great.  I had a standard bed on my old truck, so really couldn't see going to a short box even though side to side there was more volume.  Kids appreciate the upgrade to the crew cab too...it was getting a little tight in the old ext cab, now its like they are riding in a limo back there. (with air vents!)

Finally washed. As you can see I have no tire shine, ordered some from Amazon but the bottle exploded in the box. Should have the liners and tires nice and black tomorrow. ef69f39264c69d104d495d7e7d4a2f20.jpg

    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
