That's a right sized truck imo. I'm going to disagree with you on the engine, the 4.3 is literally 3/4 of a 350 and if we take a 1981 Z28 with a LM1 for example that 350 did 185 HP and 280 foot-pounds. I think this 4.3 is on par with that, they make close to 300 foot-pounds. It's not a smooth engine but its no slouch and loads of torque, at least in my experience driving them. Not easy on gas though.

 Too small in my opinion.

There was a black one owned by a co worker in the 90s. He swapped wheels so he could run cheaper 15 snow tires. He went to Walmart and they would only install tires that matched the door sticker due to liability insurance. He went home and took the wheels off and dropped the wheels at the auto department and had tires installed on the loose wheels. That was the strangest thing that they didnt have a problem with that, but wouldnt install the tires when they were on the truck.

 Costco has the same protocol too. Took my old car in and they couldnt find the 64 tourque specs plus my tires were a little bit bigger so I had to go home and bring in the loose rims. Removes the liability for them. I also had to do that for my wifes SUV as I didnt want to use run-flats so I dropped off the rims. They still honour the warranty though and fixed a leak we had.
