Well, I've got two kids and hopefully will have 3 at some point and we will never own a minivan!! :D I've just never been a van kinda guy and my wife doesn't like them either :)

+1 Amen to that!

Won't catch our family in a mini-van. We have two 11yr old boys, and we started with a 'Woody' Buick Estate Wagon, then bought a place in the bush, so we needed 4x4.. jumped to a GMC Jimmy, and finally a Yukon. Give me four doors and 4x4. Well and running boards for the kids!


As an aside, I think those extended cabs are neat, but not practical for a DD family rig. I'd take a Suburban please...

I don't knock mini van moms anymore, aka soccer moms. I dated a couple. Not knowing what they drove, after some action and then return trips I seen what they drove, and I come to the conclusion, mini van moms rock !!! :naughty:

Im up to 5 extended cabs now, 1-85 K10, 1 85 K20, 1 86 C10, 1-86 K10, and 1 - 86 extended crewcab. Most of them were made in Arlington Texas, all of mine were. I have been researching them for 4-5 years now, I dont remember for sure. I will put up pics when I get a chance. I have a new computer and havent had a chance to upload any pictures. Any questions, feel free to ask.

I like this pic because it definately would be hard to be copied by someone else.

That would be me. Im choptop on several boards where it was available but on one site I had someone get irritated when I put choptop because he was Choptop with a capitol C. I didnt know he was registered as that but regaurdless he took it personally. I take very few things seriously but have been choptop for many years. I started that name because of this truck but after the first ex cab, i have to admit I havent done anything to it.

Well, welcome to the board and we're glad you made it over with your rare extended cabs!!! :handshake: You've probably already got the crown for the most unique collections of squares on the board :)

How many total squares do you have?

I don't think you're gonna hurt anyones feelings adding to this thread. The thread is specific about Xcab Squares. Also, if you look at the original post, it was your truck that started the thread in the first place some time ago. So carryon here if you wish, or if you want your own projects thread that is fine too. Again, Welcome glad you made it over here Rare. :High 5:
