You're obviously a GM guy... I actually prefer Fords. (Have two GMs right now though, including a 1993 GMC Sierra the same color as yours )

Beautiful Ford
I can appreciate them once they're old enough to be an "old truck". Early 90's seems to be the cutoff. Saw a gorgeous 1959 at the garden centre the other day.
And yes, we are one of those families where it is GM-only. Opa drove them, dad and uncles drive them, now my brothers and I. The brand loyalty is for trucks only though, commuter cars don't really command enough of my attention to care. And Mustangs are cool.
We've been giving my dad a real hard time though, he recently got his company truck "upgraded" from an '08 Sierra to a '13 F-150. For the last 15 years he's been successful in getting his boss to replace each one with a newer GM when it needed replacing, but this time she had just bought a new Lexus so her Ford was already owned and available. When it's a free vehicle

That's certainly the plan! I only got my '93 in August, it's torn down for a semi-restoration, and bro picked his '89 up just last week. Now I just need another truck to be a winter beater so I can try to preserve the '14. Then I can collect some more of the older body styles.
It's a minor obsession
