Kind of like why do they continue to make the Silverado and Sierra.... I don't get it. Pick one already.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i agree completely i think DUPLICATION is one of GM's biggest downfalls !! For instance you could get a Chevy Venture van, a Pontiac Montana van, and Saturn had a version of the same van also.....STUPID !!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Lol no way not a GM minivan !!! GM trucks and tahoes and suburbans I believe in the whole rest of the GM line other than the 3.8 v6 isn't up to par as fat as I am concerned !! My wife's car is a 2004 Honda accord ex with 120k miles on it ! And I don't have another vehicle I just drive something different home every night from the Carlot ! I am just a poor boy tring to build my dream truck!!lol that's me

lol...That was funny the first time I read it... then I knew what you meant. the width of my screen put "concerned" on the next line.

I am 6'3" 260... I was about to say my V8 isnt up to par for me.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Yeah that would be a long haul for sure. We need a 67-72 power tour type of deal where we all meet somewhere like Goodguy's AZ show or something.
