Default work truck spanks C3

I was driving along with the cruise on about 78mph when this GMC C3 does a fly-by. Didn't think much about it, I was eating a burger and trying to mind my own business. A short while later he had slowed way down and I passed him in the passing lane and I noticed it was an older man and woman in the truck. Probably about 1/2 mile up the road I was in the right lane, with the cruise still on and I see him coming around for another fly-by. NOT THIS TIME!! I said to myself. I punched it but he had so much speed built up that he got about 5 lengths ahead before I started holding even. Then I started reeling him in pretty quick. We were probably doing 115 when I went around him. The man and the woman were staring at me as I drove around them. I think they were surprised that a beat up old body style truck could do that! I had to turn a short while later and he gave me the thumbs up. Don't know what he had, but it at least had the speed limiter removed.

What the Hell is a GMC C3? Do you mean the old designation for GM trucks (GMC and Chevrolet) C meant 2wd // K meant 4wd and 10=1/2 ton // 20= 3/4 ton
C30 would be a 2wd 1 ton truck??? Hell I've blown off 1 ton trucks with my 300L6 Ford truck. They're not all that hard.

A Sierra C3 is pretty much a Sierra Denali. I think it is a 6.0L 325hp ext. cab with all-wheel drive. They usually run low 15's stock.

Yeah, the C3 I am talking about first came out in like 2001. AWD, 6 liter, 17 or 18 inch wheels, etc. Same exact truck Chevy now sells as the "SS" just a couple years earlier.
