You found a good one for sure. I am a standard cab guy, never owned anything else. In my mind that is a pickup, or at least the short top long tail end look is what I find attractive (and more utility), like a Coupe de Ville

I'm also no fan of factory alloy wheels. I like some tradition in any truck I own. If I want alloy wheels I will personalize with my favorite custom aftermarket wheel and have what suits me. I like as many touches of the past on a modern truck, or even de-styling if that's a word. When I ordered my '92 I got cab lights, stainless towing/camper mirrors, Woodland Green (same as 505) from the fleet selection, AND manual transmission

I always thought '92 was the best year. I owned one!

But was because late in the year they introduced the 6.5TD. It was also the first year for the full truck line, Suburbans, Blazers, Yukons (though names hadn't changed yet), crew cabs, AND the all new 3500HD. I like the interiors better than the '95-up. I didn't like the chrome that blisters on the grille and in time I decided I liked the '94-up grille better. Although you get the Vortec with '96-up, and that is a big plus, I believe '94 is my favorite year. You get the new grille and the old interior. I like the TBI just fine and would rather have it. My dream is a '94 with Vortec heads and post-95 European market Van TBI intake. But left stock would suit me fine too

Let me see if I have any regular cab pictures while I'm here.

I spied this gem at Home Depot one day. I'd love to get my hands on one like this... or yours!
