Stepside, light weight, easy to work on, easy to make quick. 250 to 300hp goes a long way in a truck like that. Plus, there’s suspension kits (non lowering) that make that species of GM pick up corner like a slot car. You can even have power steering, power disc brakes AND air conditioning. I’m a Ford guy, but it would be a wet dream come true to have a nice Chevy like that. I’d rather have that than ANY 2005 or newer anything. You COULD say i’m a bit retro.
I think the true dream is to have what is in the middle seat.
Amen brother.
Great for youngsters to take somebody out on a date.
‘Specially if you had a pad and a blanket in the ..truck bed…
We kids inherited our grandparents Rambler with the fold down front seats. Greatest make out rig ever. Especially at drive in movies. Nobody knew what the second feature was because the windows were too steamed up to see out. Good times!
You made out?
This!

Could always tell how you stood with a girl as to how close or far away she sat.
Heh. Who needs a bench seat? I used to sit on the center console of his Camaro when we were dating just to get close to him. So sexy watching him shift gears 😉.
So, you got a boxed box… You must have really liked it when he hit second and forth gear and became especially ecstatic when he slammed into reverse.
Both feet were in the passenger side floor, so no, that didn’t happen. But ‘caution, slippery when wet’.
What is even better, was having a girl that knew the shift pattern and could row the gears while she sat next to you.
I married that one.

You’re a lucky man. I didn’t know how to drive a manual transmission at the time, I was barely 17. But he did teach me how to drive a manual transmission using that Camaro and I have driven stick shift vehicles for the majority of my life. Son was taught to drive a stick shift at 14 years old.
