Smooth Hauler: GMC 3500 Sierra 4X4 Crew Cab Dually w/ Duramax Diesel and Allison Transmission

Click for larger picture in a new window

Smooth is what comes to mind when I look at this high powered hauler by GMC. With the running boards and the bed lid topped off with the spoiler wing, she just looks like she's ready to run hard and long and fast. Add on the color matched bug deflector and the American flag plate on the front, and you have one classy pickup truck!

She's a GMC Sierra 3500 4X4. According to her badges, she's sporting a Duramax Diesel engine coupled to an Allison Transmission. Nice. Of course all that would be a waste without the dually rear end and the crew cab. I like it!

High Style Monster Hauler: Freightliner Business Class M2 Pickup Truck By Sport Chassis World

Click for larger picture in a new window

WOW. Talk about a whole lot of truck. I still can't quite get my head around this one. So while I try to do just that, let's start with the specs, as I know them... This started life as a Freightliner Trucks Business Class M2 chassis. Then it got 'the treatment' from Sport Chassis World that turned it into this sweet looking monster powerful long hauling ride.

This baby was hanging out at the Super Boat Offshore Racing Festival in Clearwater, Florida recently, where it was hooked up to one BAD-ASS Stihl racing boat. Talk about an over the top combination of power on land and on the water. Total head rush!

Spy Pic: Ford F350 Super Duty Power Stroke Diesel Crew Cab Dually Working Truck

Click for larger picture in a new window

Snuck a shot of this hard working truck while I was on my way to work. Is this the classic All-American working truck or what? I mean, it's like America was built with pickup trucks. Or if not that, it is certainly maintained with pickup trucks. It's no wonder we all love pickup truck pictures. I mean, who doesn't? I like them all, even the hard working, dirty, banged up working trucks. To me they are just as cool as the slick, polished, maxed out show trucks that we can't get enough of either!

I'm not sure what year it is, but I can tell you it's a Ford F350 Super Duty, with the Power Stroke turbo diesel engine. Of course you can see it's a crew cab with the dually rear end too. She may not be pretty, but she's a WHOLE LOT of truck. I bet she'll carry just about anything, or tow just about anything, just about anywhere you want to go. Yeah, me wants one!

Pickup Truck Pictures: Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab Thunder Road Hemi Flies Tampa Bay Buccaneers Colors

Click for larger picture in a new window

This is a really nice looking, clean Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab. It's got the Thunder Road package, and carries a powerful 5.7 liter Hemi engine in there. Not too shabby at all. Then, as if to take it just a step further, he's got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers badges all over it, and a nice MEEKS badge across the top of the windshield.

All in all, it's a pretty nice Dodge pickup truck. I wish I could remember what the MEEKS was all about. I keep thinking it's some sort of automotive performance company, but I can't seem to find it online!

If you're hot for those Buccaneers logo stickers, you can get some slick ones from Fathead. In fact, Fathead has logos for all the teams you could think of.

Truck Pictures: Kenworth Sleeper Cab Long Haul Condo Monster

Click for larger picture in a new window

I mean, seriously, if you've got to be on the road for weeks at a time, hauling million dollar boats from one end of the country to the other, why not go in style and COMFORT! No, it's not the penthouse suite, but there seems to be a lot more room in the big black box on the back that I've seen on a lot of other trucks out there. Very nice.

Gives ya that whole hit the road and live for the moment feeling, eh? No? Oh well. No matter how you look at it, that there is one sweet looking Kenworth tractor. Weird missing the second rear axle though. But hey, if you're hauling trailered boats and all, maybe you just don't need it?

Truck Pics: Monster Truck: Eddie's Bar And Grill: 1990 Silverado 1500

Click for larger picture in a new window

Wow, now that's a way to get attention! No, it's not the biggest or anything like that, but it's a lot of fun just the same. This is the monster truck for Eddie's Bar And Grill, in Dunedin, Florida. I spotted it driving by late last night and had to stop for pics.

I met the manager and driver, Matt, and he was really cool about showing me the goods. It turns out it has a smoke machine with multiple nozzles. You can see some, because he was nice enough to come out and turn them on for me. But the wind kept blowing it away, so it's not totally awesome like it is usually. This thing also has a FLAME THROWER nozzle up front, in the mouth of the skull! Yeah, but I didn't get to see that last night. I asked him how it works in traffic, and we both just chuckled.

I look forward to stopping by in the daylight soon to get some more pics of this beast, and hopefully I will remember to ask lots more questions about it. He did tell me that before it morphed into a monster truck, this was a 1990 Chevy Silverado 1500. Yeah, well it ain't anymore! :O

Truck Pics: Ford F350 Crew Cab Super Duty FX4 Lariat Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 Dually Pickup Trucks Picture

Click for larger picture in a new window

This heavy breathing puller is a Ford F350 Super Duty dually. More specifically, this is the Crew Cab FX4 Lariat model, with the Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 engine. Got power? Uh-HUH! Gotta love the power of a truck like this, the ability to handle some serious loads when you need it.

I also like the hard shell bed topper, or lid. I have had a couple of trucks so far in my life, and having a lid on the bed is VERY handy! Like icing on the cake, this pickup truck also sports some nice step rails, and BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A tires.

Truck Pics: GMC 1500 Quad Cab Custom Paint Hood Rims Pickup Trucks Picture

Click for larger picture in a new window

My Better Half had just told me the other day about a really sweet looking pickup truck she saw, and then when we were down at the boat ramp snapping trucks pictures, there he was! The owner and I were just talking about the other trucks there, and his sweet ride, when she came over to let me know this was the very same truck she had told me about. Small world.

This nice looking GMC is a 2001 1500 4X2. As you can see, he's got a cool paint job, sharp looking hood, and some very styling rims on this beauty. Turns out he has owned it since new, and it sounds like he has more upgrades in store. I hope I run into him again so I can shoot the new look.

Truck Pics: Chevy Avalanche Crew Cab?

Click for larger picture in a new window

I don't mind telling you, although it's a nice looking ride and all that, I'm still not sure it's a truck. I mean, yeah it has a bed in back... but is it a different kind of truck, or is it a car with a bed on the back?

What do you think?

Chevy Avalanche hanging out at evening baseball and disc golf park. It's got four doors, alloy wheels, dark blue paint job, and they parked it like they were waiting for me to come and shoot it. Nice.
