Anybody Into Trucks?

[Thumpin455]

Nice trucks gents. I'm hoping to become a truck owner soon. As of next summer I'll have room and reason to get one. I'm on the lookout for something like this. Different colors would be better but you get the idea. Unmolested and stock looking.

I have a 2wd 3/4 ton camper special, circa 1986. Its in decent shape, I used the 454 from it for the 76, but it isnt in too bad of shape. I could put the rat back in it, paint it whatever color you like, and then I would have one less thing in my yard. Or I could build it to suit what you want.

Here is one I had that I miss. It had the 12 valve Cummins and a 5 speed. After I sold my enclosed trailer, I really had no use for it other than taking the trash off once a month. A 5'x10' utility trailer is much cheaper to maintain than a 1997 Dodge dually.

I've only had one truck so far, a 1946 Chevy 3/4-ton without the bed, made into a flatbed like this.
A guy saw it in storage and offered to double my investment ... I took it.

I have two right now- a 99 Dodge 3500 that is rough as a cob. The 24V cummins in it run great though. The other is my 65 C10 that you can see in my garage. It is about to get upgraded with a 489 Chevy in it.

I've had more than I remember - most of them were work horses. The current is a 2001 F350 CC LB SRW with a 7.3 powerstroke I rebuilt, I think that thread is long gone from here. I hope to keep this one 10 years. I've dubbed it "Lee's Limo" since it has tinted windows, it's 21ft long - and the biggest reason we got it to replace the supercab - was getting him into and out of the backseat in his car seat.

You pulled a fast one with that car seat excuse. Slick.



This came to me like this.


Met up with these.


And is now one of these.


I drive this often. Its all 1 ton truck underneath with a LQ4 and 4L80e. Does it count as a truck? I use it like one....


Used to have this. 4BT Turbo Cummins powered with an aluminum body, fairly quick with the fuel turned up.


My first trucks. Now belong to my sons.

Very into trucks. I have 3 right now. Two GM's and a Nissan.

I just picked up the 71 Chevy this weekend. It is a long bed that I will make a short bed. I have to do some rust repair but it was cheap.

I've had the 84 GMC for a while. It has had a basic lowered suspension. Air ride and now I'm back to steel springs.

The Nissan is a hand me down. Other than lowering it it is stock and will probably stay that way.

You betcha I like trucks

[LORENSWIFE]

I used ours to widen the front gate a few months back...

[STINEY]

Trucks ARE tools after all Gail...... glad you found a new use for one! (Hope everyone involved was okay, gate/truck/driver.)

OMG! Worse than texting while driving is delirious laughter with your 16 yr old daughter!
I was driving Loren's stick shift dually We had been laughing at something since I picked her up. Upon entering the driveway I cut the corner on the right to sharp and took out the gate post and really marred up the dually fender, we didn't hear it at first because we were laughing too much!

Then I thought I would just go hide it behind the palm tree, duh, you can't really hide a truck behind a palm tree, especially when Loren is watching you do it!

Now really I should probably not drive the stick shift dually when I am not actively involved with getting Hay or going to Home Depot, then I am more likely to have my wide truck hat on!

One of the many advantages of being a cutie-pie is that you can get forgiven readily. If I'D done that to Loren's big truck he'd have taken a pound of flesh (or maybe pounded my flesh). At least it wasn't the '59.
