I was like no way.
went to a dirt road and tromped on it. Sure as shit both lit. I tried 5 Times to make sure as the other owners said the previous rear end grenaded and they had it rebuilt. They used correct parts!


from what ive seen the g80 does its job and works well, usually when it blows up its from people abusing them offroading, rock crawling etc
for the average person who only occasionally off roads it should last ya

It looks to me like the old truck is 3/4 ton 6 lug and the new one is a 1/2 ton 5 lug.


im 99% sure all Chevy 1500s with 4x4 are 6 lug
I've seen 5 lug 2wd drives but never 4x4s from Chevy



Good looking pick up for 1500 though

Thanks. I like the overall look of the truck.


On a side note, aanyone have any suggestions for a reasonable priced shocks? I'm after a soft shock. The 3/4 springs and cranked Tbars make it ride like hell; feels like a dam rough 3/4 ton. I like the high payload capacity, but it's a little over the top.. No give what so eever. They got big fat stiff ones in there, but they regularly loaded her down, so it was necessary.
