Good you can do that in FL. Around here people just want the car somewhat clean and the salt off. It will be just as dirty in another day.

This is how we do it here in the south, it's not a truck if it isn't lifted with big tires.
You sure that's lifted?
This is how lifted trucks are done in the southwest.

Not mine but I know guys with trucks just like it and they don't get dirty much.
Nice job. You get it, you do things for family, nothing required back (there is a difference in doing it because you want to and being guilted into it by them).
I do stuff for family all the time and don't expect (but usually get) something in return.

I was thinking the same thing.
I actually snuck in a wash and quick "wax" on my neighbors truck with nufinish.
She is a single 64 yr old that has no family nearby. She came home one afternoon when I was washing my vehicles, and she jokingly said hers was needing a wash as well (and it did). We talked a little and then she went it.
When I finished my vehicles, I went and washed hers, and decided to use the nufinish I had (I use it on my motorcycles plastic windshield, works great for that) on hers. Her paint looks OK, but the water was flat on the hood. Nufinish was able to be applied with a wet cloth and wiped off with a towel in about 10 minutes.
By no means an amazing detail, but it looked better when I was done, and it beads water now.
A few days later, she sees me come home from work and runs up with a bag of tamales (I buy some from her several times a year, they are fresh, homemade and amazing) and got a big hug. Well worth it just for the hug, the tamales were just a bonus.

Get rid of the steering wheel cover.

It's a bit tore up, but it gets the job done. He is a painter so those little white specs of paint are hard to keep off his hands and they inevitably transfer to the leather steering wheel. The steering wheel cover resolves that issue.

To get a Crew Cab & full capability of a 2500.......You had to get a 2500HD.
I thought they were a smart buy for the weekend warrior that towed at the edge of a 1500's weight ratings....
6.0L Power, 4L80E Toughness, Add a Dana 60 Quadrasteer & you got a good-capable truck!

How has that Quadrasteer aged? Could imagine problems where salt is used.
I really like that look: Not a showpiece. A vehicle that works hard every day and ages gracefully. The longer you keep it like that, the more striking it becomes.
Plus, let's face it. Chevys of that age have sort of chiseled good looks—-you have something to work with.
