  5. I just picked up this one today. Can’t wait to swap wheels and lower it a bit. It’ll be my post retirement work truck

    I don't know what Chevy did different on those vintage trucks but they were the ones that rusted the least around here. when very other body style were rusted in the rockers, cab corners and over the rear wheels in about 5 years, these lasted more like 15-20 years before rusting... cool truck as @Bandit Billy said with the hand shaker....

    I wanted a C30 Dually pickup in the '67 - '72 Chevrolet
    body style. Chevy didn't build one so I built my own....

    2003 8.1, 496ci with an Allison 1000 5 speed overdrive.

    I had one about the same year as @scotty t , no rust and nice factory paint as witnessed by the original Indy decals. Went to a farm up north (Canada). Great little truck. It towed a lot of cars home.

    I’ve got another one with a little rust and an auto trans that i wanted to fix up a bit and convert to manual trans but a buddy sent me a couple pics of the red one out of nowhere. He had just bought it to flip. So it looks like i’m changing horses mid stream:p
     
  12. That’s quite the combo there

    Very far in the ot category. Just bought a new van today. 2500 Chevy, 6.6 liter so no issues towing a trailer with a car in it.
    Also it has a locking differential.

    So happy I finally got my 94 Z71 back from my son. Bought it new in 94 and gave it to him about 5 years ago when he needed a truck. I always seem to have quite a few trucks…sort of like an addiction. Current fleet includes these plus a bunch in the back yard. IMG_3847.jpeg IMG_3848.jpeg IMG_3849.jpeg IMG_3764.jpeg
