Trucks you miss
« on: January 24, 2004, 04:31:07 AM »
I just want to see if you guys and gals have any trucks you wish you still had. I had a 1977 Dodge Powerwagon with 44inch mudders and 6 inch life. That truck would go anywhere. All my friends would call it The Beast.

I also had a truck that my buddies called "the beast" It was a 1972 Chevy Blazer. It had a 4" sup. lift & 3" Body lift running 38" tires. Had a built to the hilt 350 and would go just about anywhere. Custom camo paint (spray paint and beer camo job :grin: ) OHH how I miss that truck. I gave it to my younger brother to drive and wouldn't ya know he blew the motor. (snaped the crank in half playn' in the mudd) He let it sit out on the farm while we rebuilt a motor for it, and some low life SOB stripped the tires, tranny, and transfer case of it. I bought the truck for $800.(right place right time) The best part about that truck was my lil bother sold it for $800 as is where is.

Back in '94, I bought a '67 GMC stepside, for $700. It had a 3 on the tree manual tranny, 250 cid 1bbl. I don't know what axle it had but the leaf springs in the back and the fact that the thing would turn about 4,000 rpm at 55mph, told me it was heavy duty, and would pull a house. Cosmetically the truck was rough, inc. the wood bed. Mechanically it was very sound. The only major thing I did to it was replace the old generator with a newer alternator. I sold it for $1600 13 months after I bought it and have missed it ever since.  :cry: The thing even had the window sticker in the glove box, it was $4420 back in 1967.

1978 Dodge 4X4 stepside. Installed a 84 front clip, 4 inch Sky jacker suspension lift, 35x12.50 tire, 4.56 gears front and back with a 8 3/4 limited slip in the rear. Rebuilt a 383 HP out of a 68 charger, had a machine shop take my aluminum bell housing and put the pattern on the back of a Lakewood metal bell housing. That truck could pull out in 4th gear. What a truck. Motor was tuff as nail. It seen 7000 RPM's many of times. Didn't get any gas mileage though.

97 f-250 4x4 desiel, and an 91 jeep wrangler.  The jeep was awsome of the road, but driving a hundred miles a day was rough.  The warenty ran out in the ford, and parts were VERY expensive.

I had an 87 Chevy 1/2-ton short-bed, fleet side, 4WD that I bought new in December of 1986. It originally had a 305 but I swapped it out to a "built" 350. I had a 4" Skyjacker soft-ride lift and I always ran 33 x 12.5 BF Goodrich AT's. I loved that truck but I worked it hard too. Our first home was wood heated so I cut 6 cords/year and the truck hauled it all. We had a long driveway so I plowed with it too. I finally sold the truck this past spring to a kid in town. The truck was getting tired and needed the body to be re-done again. With a new home and new baby I couldn't justify spending the money on it anymore...
