It was some sorry no name outfit that apparently had people out knocking on doors to find uninsured people that wanted rides to the emergency room, they then billed medicare.

They even showed forged insurance to the police, when the truth got out, the police were not interested. Attorney said there would be nothing to sue as they would fold and open new company overnight. :(

K5. Especially if you lift them. They're damn near square- the track is just a couple inches shorter than the wheelbase.

My son has a '96 Tahoe 2 door. He went with me to pick it up in '96- he was 7 then- and always loved the truck. After buying a new daily driver, I put it into storage and gave it to him for his 16th B-day. Had it totally redone. I put the big cutout flares on it with 35's. Stock height. Looks very cool. They're so much wider it's pretty rollover-proof. The IFS up front helps too. had to put 1.5" spacers in the rear to get the tires on it. They're now aligned with the fronts. With stock 265's, I never noticed it being so much narrower in the rear.

So the K5 is out because I cant find one under 150,000 miles and they are gas hogs. So something like this would be perfect. Just needs bigger tires.:D

Nice truck, but if you can swing a 1996 or later, you will have a better motor. The 350TBI sucks more gas than the 350 Vortec. My 1996 350 2-door Tahoe got 14mpg daily driving. Anything 1995 or earlier will be a shade worse.

I LOVED that truck. Its all personal preference, but I like the ones with Barn Doors better vs. the Tailgate/Lift-Glass option.

If you find the right K-5, remember the top comes off. That can make for some great youthful times as well.
