You guys are too cool! Thank you so much for the kind words! I don’t want to take away from this months theme or the great looking trucks but the only reason I would be a shoe in for the mall crawler is because most people on here think it’s ridiculous to make a truck look like mine haha. All good though I still got a lot of love for a ton of guys on here that have all types of builds. I know there has to be a bunch more guys out here with work trucks because I’ve seen the pictures before! We need to get some more of those jobsite photos or those rigs pulling campers or trailers. Work trucks are a life line in themselves! Let’s see more!

If you're feeding your family or protecting your farmland I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed. 

AMEN

Don't any of you guys use your trucks for work. C'mon man.

Let's see those Work trucks

 

 

 

I would have expected more entries, there are quite a few 1500 work trucks on here, some snow plow guys, roofers, construction. Maybe they are all out working them. When I suggested the category I was thinking K2 trucks, certainly there would be more in the 2500+ category. My bad guys, hopefully we get some more entries.

I'm surprised there aren't more entries too. I've used both 2500's and 1500s for work trucks. Mostly 1500' s though .
I look around the jobsites ( new home construction, apts, small retail developments, smaller commercial jobs) today and see more and more 1/2 tons than ever it seems. Unless you are in utilities, excavation or pulling a big trailer hanging siding, most guys are running 1/2 tons. A lot more company trucks too. Also a lot less vans . 25 years ago a lot of guys were driving some real shitboxes for work trucks. There was a lot more freelancers then too. Kind of like the wild west if you will. Yeehaw. Now you have to wear a yellow vest and a hardhat damned near every jobsite you go to. Sad.

Honestly, I was really looking forward to this thread because I see a ton of these trucks driving up and down the highways that are clearly work trucks...loaded to the gills with equipment, ladder racks, welders, compressors, trailers. Wold have loved to have heard some stories from those guys. I have heard "some" and honestly they weren't all that great (in terms of repairs/reliability)...a few trannies gone bad, some torque converters. But there's so many on the road - would have liked to have heard if those were isolated incidences. 

 

I use mine for "work"...this thing has to commute me back and forth to work everyday....80 miles round trip....no excuses, it has to do that every single day. So far it's done that pretty well. Through the snow, rain, heat, cold. Up and down that highway.

I use my trucks for work too. Chevy's. Always been Chevy's.

I just don't work as much as I used to but when I had to be there every day my trucks never called in sick.

From the looks of this thread a lot of guys must drive their K2's to their desk job.[emoji408][emoji409][emoji410][emoji2780][emoji2778][emoji340][emoji2776]

I'd rather work in the field.

Good, post a picture. Love work trucks.

[dieselfan1]

Only one I can find for the Silver Bullet
I was trimming out a new townhome. Cutting in the garage.

I did a little remodel job last summer had to use the Black Beauty. Cutting in the garage again.

I hate the muddy ass jobsites
I like the clean ones.

I don't have any pictures with my truck from work. My Silverado is mainly used for doing estimates. The only thing that goes in the back are a couple Soft Cut concrete saws and a power washer. I have a Medium duty that does all the heavy lifting so that doesn't count here. I'll just post a picture of it so you can see what a concrete contractor needs for a work truck.

Nice pinstripe job. Classy.

You know if you use your Silverado for estimates that's part of the job. I've always done free estimates. And usually get the jobs.

I know if I saw you pull up in your CST Chevy to give me an estimate. I would say to myself, this dude ain't F'ing around. I'm sure his work quality matches up with his his truck quality. 

Then when you pull up to do the job in your well equipped, clean as a whistle F650 with pinstripes. Well I don't even need to watch I'm going to Dennys for breakfast.

 

Bottom line if your Silverado makes you a buck its eligible .

Throw a couple of your form boards in the back sticking out and snap a picture. See it's a work truck [emoji23]

 

I added a few more things to this months prize pack. Check my first post this month
