    A Little Wear and Tear on the Front Seats..

    This guy must be 7 feet tall and 650lbs.. that seat coded on life support.. and his partner isn't that much smaller, check out the passenger seat..

    And a few lines down the page.. wonder if they're cousins and this is the smaller one? The interior is trashed but the body isn't that bad and 150k on a 7.3L Diesel isn't much..

    And that ends todays search for a reasonably priced truck (something under 12k with minimal rust and under 250k.. )
    A great ending is all you'll see..

    Typical of the rat skin hides GM uses. Compounded by some slob grinding dirt into it day after day.

    If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

    We've always had rules in our house. Wash your hands before getting in the car, especially if driving, make sure your clothes are clean, kick your shoes together a few times before pulling them inside the car, no eating in the car, and use your damn quads and glutes to position yourself 'before' you put weight on the seat and scoot across the surfaces. That's served us well. They've all grown up this way and think it's normal.. until they started driving to school and felt their friends were disrespecting their cars..
    A great ending is all you'll see..

    I had a 99 Tahoe that I sold after 17 years of ownership. My driver side seat had a couple of tears. One was caused by an over-zealous windshield replacement person using the seat as leverage so he could put both feet on the windshield to push it out. The other was from some over-zealous cleaning by yours truly.

    Woman that bought it had to be at least 70 years old. Her son brought her to look at it driving a similar era Tahoe. It was loaded with so much crap one could only sit in the front seats. No way you could see out of the back. His front seats looked about like the pics above. He was also keeping lunch in his beard for later consumption. That Tahoe did sell quickly. Good times.
