Does your truck still have a job?
« on: August 10, 2009, 07:16:04 pm »
Does your truck still have a job? I'm sure we all don't use them as hard as we used to, but if your truck still has a job lets see them doing it. Townig, plowing, mudding, racing ect. Here is mines weekend job, getting me and the boat to the lake. Boat is a 2006 Tri-toon 25' with a 5.7 mpi V-8. I get lots of looks when this is rolling towards the lake, and that's what it's all about isn't it?

Mine sits most of the time, lucky to put on 2000 miles a year on it.

Just what I bought it for, clearing the driveway.  And now occasionally hauling my butt around.

"Scotti" works his butt off but shows it off at the same time. I probably won't take pix of me haulin wood or garbage around with him but he works and looks good doing it. My pink and my 74 don't work, they play. They're like dogs, they got the easy life. My 75 Blazer will work while he plays ;)

I don't have a pic of it but this one is currently hitched to a landscaping trailer with lawn equipment on it. It runs about 3 times a week.


This one runs about 200 miles a day. I install flooring trim throughout northern Maryland and southern Pennsylvania.

My '79 K30 works pretty much works all the time. When I'm not in it I'm driving my '73 C10. I sold my 2005 GMC that I bought new because I don't like modern trucks. My Uncle has a '85 C20 thats his daily driver and a '72 C10 thats his nice truck. My '79 is my welding working truck. It weighs 9000 lbs all the time. I've got all my tools on it plus a Miller Bobcat 250 and an air compressor. This winter I'm puttin 540 pto and hydraulics on it. I've owned it since I was 17 when it started out as a K20. It has done alot of muddin since then along with hauling firewood, logs, tractors, trucks, and so on. As long as there are still parts for it I will be drivin the ole girl. The '73 is a factory 454 Cheyenne Super 10 with 64,000 original miles. Its fun to drive. Better than driving any newer truck.

My 85 K20

http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=7339.0

He's named Scotti because tragically my cousin's son died right in front of me and I bought the truck off of them to help them out. So I named the truck after him.

Only real work mine does is hauling myself, the fiancee, two dogs and all the associated crap to the boat for the weekend. I've had various boat hauling trucks over the years but now that the boat is too big to pull, I just need something for hauler duty.
