Those are nice, but I like Buckstops
Got the roll pan.... looks great! Also got a Predator Diablosport tuner! Running 120hp tune and the truck hauls nuts!!!! 25mpg too!!!!
I'll get some pics this weekend
The thing next to the steering wheel is an aftermarket electric brake controller for controlling the brakes on a trailer. Otherwise the 1st one looks pretty clean and has a few aftermarket accessories. Don't like the rip/tear on the edge of the drivers seat.
O ok cool thanks for the info. Yea it looks nice but yea the seat rip adn the fact its not a crew cab bum me out.
The 2nd truck like you said is pretty plain jane but doesn't look as though it was worked hard and is clean all around.
Agreed. Is that leather in this one or like the vinyl?
The last one also looks like a nice clean truck as well. They didn't show the bed on the and I'd be curious to see if it may have had a 5th wheel mounted in there at one time as that one has an electric brake controller mounted on the dash.....just like to know what kind of towing a truck may have done if I were buying it.
Good point I didnt even see that thanks. And you were right, it has a 5th wheel on it. So that would probably be something to stay away from then yea?
Hard to pick, however I like a crew cab over the extended cab especially if you need the room to carry people more comfortably. And I like leather especially the charcoal. They all look as though they still have the stock exhaust and probably haven't been modded to much if at all.
The crew cabs look as though they are still running the stock tires or have been replaced with the same road friendly type tread and not the larger size tires like I have done along with others.
Just a few observations from my end.....Good Luck and let us know what you get.
Thanks!
I also found this one near me also. Dont really like the cap and would need to put a bed liner in it but doesnt look bad. It also says its a work truck model but looks like it has some options (power windows, etc).

I bought a 07 GMC ex.cab with the LBZ eng, 55k miles last july, had it 2 weeks and the ck. eng light came on, took it to the dealer and they replaced a glow plug, two hundred mile later another code set another trip to the dealer and another glow plug replaced, fast foward to 2 weeks ago, another code set, another trip to dealer and another glow plug replaced along with a egr valve and it happened one day before the warranty ran out .I love the truck but by all mean's buy a warranty if you can, also if you get lucky and find one with a LBZ (06 to mid yr 07) buy it , no DFI filter and it's a beast... also if you ever put a 285 tire on it make sure it's Michelin's.gotcha.. i spoke with the dealer about the 05 GMC and its a gmc dealership so I can get bedliner installed there and warranty if I want it. planning on going to check it out next friday and if all goes well, pick it up.. is there any kind of buyers guide or critical things to look for on the dmax or HD trucks other than obvious things (leaks, rust)? Is a warranty on a diesel something I should consider? I know plugs alone can be big bucks..
Thanks again guys!

The 06 LLY is the same as a LBZ except the LBZ has a better tune (360hp, 650lb torque) the early lly's is a whole diffrent motor with less hp/torque than the LBZ and there is not more smog on a LBZ there is less. The Michelin is the only brand in THAT size that don't beat you to death. BTW, after mid-yr 07 they all had the DFI filter.The 04-06 LLY engine is a beast to just has less smog crap than the LBZ .
My truck has 285 michelins on it. why do i need to stick with that brand?
