Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

A nice, clean find, which should serve you and your kids very well for a long time.

Thank you, glad to have joined and hope to help out where I can. I've always had a thing for older trucks and SUV's, so I'll keep driving them while the wife enjoys the newer Tahoes and Yukons.

Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to the forum from Iowa.

Nice looking ride!

Throw up some pics of the dually. @07Burb has a soft spot in his heart and a hard spot in his jeans for them.:cool:


Thank you very much! Here are a couple pics of the dually for those interested including @07Burb She had just over 91k miles when I found her, 454 with 4.10 gears. She is also one of the few factory shortbed dually's GM made in 99 and 2000.

Hello all, new here but have been on the gmt400.com site for a while. Decided to retire the Crew Cab dually from daily driving and move it to the semi-retired life of just hauling the car trailers. I have always been a fan of the OBS bodystyle Chevrolets since I first owned one back in 98. I have searched for a while but finally found the clean Toreador Red, 2 wheel drive, 4 door Tahoe, cloth interior to make my daily kid hauler. It may have been a 10 hour drive round trip to pick it up, but glad I did. I am fortunate that my little ones enjoy hotrodding and old cars and trucks as much as I do, so they have helped me in getting this one to their idea of a "hotrod". I'm just happy it's "cool" enough now to be seen in the car-rider line. We will be able to enjoy driving this one to local cruise-ins and shows as a family all together instead of taking different rides.View attachment 263434 View attachment 263434 View attachment 263435 View attachment 263436

That's is one good looking dually. I like the short bed so much better. I bet with the 4.10's the 454 is a beast down low.

Thanks! The short bed definitely makes it easier to park and maneuver around. It does have some low end to get the towing job done, just don't ask her to break any speed records, or else the gas gauge moves faster than the speedo...

Here is the dually after making a run through the Tennessee mountains.
