The owner of this very blog is personally happy to hear that General Motors has just released information on their next-generation Heavy-Duty Pickup Trucks.

A GMT400 Half-Ton Pickup Truck in my center-band two-tone paint scheme located in the town of Kingsford, Michigan and at a house that was built on the former Ford Motor Company/Kingsford Woodworking and Charcoal Briquet plant in the vicinity of Iron Mountain, Michigan.
For more information about the formation of what is now known as Kingsford Charcoal and the Ford Motor Company/Kingsford Woodworking and Charcoal Briquet plant in the vicinity of Iron Mountain, Michigan; please see this earlier post:

A GMT400 Half-Ton Regular Cab, Short Bed Pickup Truck with my Red interior located in the town of Oakland, Maryland (located near the Maryland-West Virginia-Pennsylvania border):
This truck appears to have been kept in descent condition-just the condition I would personally keep a vehicle in.
However, I do not like the owner having added aftermarket wheels to this truck.

At the time of writing this post, General Motors is testing the next generation of Heavy-Duty Pickup Trucks to correspond with their recently-introduced T1XX generation of Half-Ton Pickup Trucks.
General Motors is set to launch their next generation of Heavy-Duty Pickup Trucks in 2019 for the 2020 model year.

A GM Full-Size Van in the short 109″ wheelbase that is a Conversion Van that is located near where the former Chrysler headquarters once stood for over 85 years (having spent the last 10 years of its life in a vacant and abandoned state prior to being demolished) in Highland Park, Michigan.
Sadly, this van is in a sad state; with there being plenty of cancer/rust on the lower part of its body-where the van converter had installed the aftermarket running boards during the cargo van’s conversion.
There is also some rust/cancer around the fuel filler door-possibly due to any fuel leaking out from around the fuel fill spigot.

As you already know if you’ve been following this blog for a while, I am not at all fond of sports (including icky, yucky Baseball); MLB player Steve Pearce is not my cup of tea, and not only should Steve Pearce be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight, and be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz, and Easy Listening music; but Steve Pearce should also be barred from shaving his head with a razor and shaving cream, and should instead be forced to wear a wig.
For further information about how I personally feel about MLB player Steve Pearce, please see this earlier post:
MLB Players Steve Pearce And Jason Kipnis
Steve Pearce is not the right type of person to own a Full-Size Pickup Truck, SUV, Van; or a Passenger Car on the GM B and Ford Panther platforms; whereas on the contrary, the owner of this very blog is undoubtedly the right type of person to own any vehicles of this caliber.
Also, as you are already aware of if you’ve been following this blog for a while; I am not fond of NASCAR, since the beginning of the 21st Century, trying to be as appealing to the average person as the icky, yucky sports of Basketball, American Football, Baseball, and Ice Hockey; and many modern NASCAR drivers being former stick-and-ball athletes turned Stock Car driver because being a Stock Car driver was the only other thing they had trained to do throughout their childhood and adolescent years besides being a stick-and-ball athlete, otherwise; they would have to enter an entirely new and different line of work.
Therefore, I would like Richard Childress’s grandsons-the Dillon brothers to adhere to the old ways of NASCAR; just as I would like each of Colin & Sheila’s 3 sons-all of whom are Baseball guys, to ponder over Marie “Mimi” and Stanley Smiley being their great-grandparents, rather than them all adhering to the here and now.
For more information on this scenario pertaining to modern NASCAR drivers, and to Colin & Sheila’s 3 sons; please see these earlier posts:

Not too long ago, I have written a post pertaining to how much it irritates me with people doing dumb things to School Buses.
Regarding the commercial for the Rotary Club below, I do not like somebody taking a retired School Bus and turning it into a Food Truck.
Furthermore, that person in the commercial taking a Blue Bird Mini Bird (a body atop the GM P-Chassis that is a product of the Luce family) and turning it into a Food Truck is abuse to the P-Chassis, and is the same as abusing any GM Full-Size Pickup Truck, Suburban, K-5 Blazer/2-door Tahoe, 4-door Tahoe; and any Passenger Car built atop the GM B-platform in this fashion.
And in the case of a Type C Conventional or a Type D Transit-style School Bus, it would be abuse to the Class 6 chassis & cowl that a Conventional is built on; and the purpose-built Class 6 stripped chassis that a Type D Transit-style School Bus is usually built on, if and whenever somebody turns a Conventional or Transit-style School Bus into a Food Truck.

A GMT400 Suburban in my center-band two-tone paint scheme in NASCAR driver Bill Elliott’s hometown of Dawsonville, Georgia.
This GMT400 Suburban is a 2-wheel-drive model, since it is equipped with the Aluminum Wheels that were only available on the 2-wheel-drive GMT400 Pickup Trucks and SUVs, during the GMT400s entire production run, General Motors had two distinct sets of Aluminum Wheels for 2-wheel-drive and 4-wheel-drive models; and I can also tell that this particular Suburban is 2-wheel-drive because of the lower ground clearance when compared to its 4-wheel-drive counterpart.

An article about how NASCAR driver Bill Elliott’s father George had loathed Chevrolets so much, that the elder Elliott would either refuse to take a Chevrolet on a trade-in at his Ford dealership in Dahlonega, Georgia; or George Elliott would take a Chevrolet in on a trade, but then George Elliott would take it straight to the junkyard.
I do agree with George Elliott that some Ford products are better than those produced by the Chevrolet Motor Division Of General Motors. However, I don’t detest Chevrolets as much as George Elliott had; and I don’t feel compelled to have every single Chevrolet sent to a junkyard.
