No gravel! Sold my normal everyday truck last year. With winter on its way I always have a lot of yard cleanup and realized I don’t have a way to get it to the recycle center anymore. So its time the 34 to earn its keep. After three trips I’m all ready for the snow to blow.
Now you’re talking!! I’m fixing to do something similar with my woodie this weekend, I’m gonna haul the family to the park and we’re going to cruise, fish and picnic!
I used to drive my coupe to Home Depot in spring to buy bedding plants. I loved the reactions when the stuff was getting put into the passenger seat
I use my "late model" 59 chevy truck to haul our garbage to the dump every couple weeks. It's a long wide bed, so it holds a lot more than your 34!
Good on you! I use my o/t c10 as it was intended. The guy at the recycle center continually states how he would never use the truck the way I do. I continually remind him whose name is on the****le.
I picked up 20 2x6’s in my wagon last month. An old lady told me my car was too pretty to haul lumber. it also makes a good tow truck when my friend’s Plymouth breaks down.
I had a fellow with a young family remark that cool truck shouldn’t be here. I laugh and said its about time it earns its keep.
That’s what I like to see, old trucks still on the job. They may not haul as much weight but they do it in style! After installing the fresh 223 back in 2012 I took Rancho for a shakedown run into NYC to pick up a free flatty from my buddy. Been doing short hauls for the past two seasons and loving every minute of it!
The guy at our dump once told me, when I showed up with my Fargo, that the truck was too nice to drive. Nice compliment but it certainly gets driven
seems a lot of folks think that most old cars are too nice to drive. Including a lot of their owners, unfortunately.
A dad was shocked that I drove my kids to school in the Country Squire. That is exactly what it was built for! What did he think kids rode in in 1954?
Used my 30 pickup as a daily driver for years, my 30 and Russ Clark's 29 hauling firewood for his shop several years ago.
I have my 'old' dump truck, a '48 International KB-8 and the hydraulic bed sure makes it easy to unload took the '39 for groceries Tuesday....relearned a lesson....don't buy ice cream to take home when driving an old car... it melted in the parking lot of the grocery store as folks want to chat when they see the old car...which is ok for me, but not the ice cream...
A few years ago I had a big tree come down in a wind storm. Put the old 32 BB to work hauling stuff to my burn pile.
