This is a "lifetime achievement" type of vehicle purchase for me. The kind of truck I've dreamed of having most of my life, and I'm finally at a point in life to obtain it.

I knew I wanted a 3/4 ton diesel truck, but was on the fence between an F250 or 2500. Wife preferred the looks of Chevy, so I started looking into them more. Then I discovered this blue color and fell in love.

I'll take some better pics as soon as I get some nice sunlight to show the pop of the blue better, but this should at least get the thread started.

Chevy 2500 HD
Diesel
4x4
LTZ with Trail Boss package. (I think I'm going to remove the decals, but I love the black grill, bumpers, and wheels)

I did not add any sort of aftermarket lift or accessories. How it's sitting is 100% completely stock from the factory.

That being said, I don't think it actually sits level either. The fact that it looks level, or close to it in that picture, I think is an optical illusion due to the fact that it's on my downward sloping driveway, so the rear is gong to look lower. Also I think the angle from which the picture is taken is contributing to the illusion. I'll take some fender measurements from the ground at the front and back fenders to confirm.

My cousin had a black one like that... Turns out that a thief used it make a run to Mexico and destroyed the truck..... definitely agree with the suggestion to install a Ravelco....

Well I went and visited our boy Fabian and got the truck tinted up with 25% ceramic on the front windows, 15% ceramic on the rear windows, and clear ceramic on the windshield. Then I took her to a hand wash carwash place in my neighborhood, and got her first wash. So here's the better pics that I promised y'all earlier.

Considering that the truck was already dirty when it showed up at my house (they drove through some rain on the way to deliver it), and its been really poopy weather here since then, this is my first time seeing it really clean and I love the blue even more than I did before.

Modifications wise, all I've done so far is tint and remove the Trail Boss decals off the besides. When I have time to mess with it, I'm going to pull the 2500 HD badges off the doors too. I prefer a clean look. After that, I can definitely see a front level and some 37's in the not too distant future.

So here is Big Blue, the Weekend Warrior.
