Silverado 2500hd Festool Upfit

[smartcarpie]

It's an O7, picked it up with about 60000 on it a year and a half ago.  I did look at a Duramax one ton with a single rear axle and a nine foot utility bed and system one rack with only 40000 on it,  but hated the box size and layout.  Maybe if I was a framer.  It was owned by a local guy who seems to get a new couple of trucks every year or two.  Keeps them mint and trades them in.  They sell fast.

How do you keep a work truck mint and still perform work?  I'm all for maintenance and taking care of the stuff I own, but sometimes work stuff just gets worked.

Mines not mint. Good shape for sure when I bought it. Interior takes the beating, mostly dust, dirt, compound from me. Dogs are no help. Body was perfect until a delivery guy punched in my rear quarter, and left without saying anything of course. Luckily my shop neighbors are body guys, so I got the 25 dollar fix and its pretty hard to see it.

The duramax I mentioned is a local business owners truck. You can tell because most of his old ones are lifted with flame graphics.  I think he's got money to burn.

I also dont wash mine unless it's a wedding or a funeral. Dredge out the cab once a week in warm weather, maybe once a month in winter.

Little dings here and there happen. It's not a show truck. I'm careful loading though, and working alone helps.
