Bringing it back to the top. I know it's the wrong year but it's got the replacement engine for my Burban in the back. Thanks Shon.

Made the trip from Salem, OR to Livermore, CA last weekend to pick up a Volvo wagon. Covered 1,200 miles between Friday night and Sunday morning; no real issues save for wipers giving up the ghost on Saturday morning and a front tire tread separating on Sunday night (glad I aired up that spare).

Here are a couple. First one is 30 bags of mulch 2 cu ft each. Second one is a sliding patio door.

Found a 1972 Grady White with a Cuddy Cabin with a Force 125hp outboard to haul behind my Custom Camper! Going to paint it green and white to match the truck.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

What else are you supposed to haul around in a classic truck!?

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Cool GMC! Is that original paint? It looks great in gold!!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Not OG paint and I have come to the conclusion it is just a crappy single stage paint.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Does a spare tire count?

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Is that a custom job? Never seen a spare that was below the floor of the bed like that.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

It's all custom made and raised composite bed floor.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

WoW .. composite ... If it's like the boards on my deck it must weigh half a ton !:sumo:

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

That's pretty cool!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

It's a bit heavier but it helps for smooth ride and no maintenance. I can use it as a truck without scratching pristine varnished wood.

Very nice Jarrodblake!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

What a shame, nice combo. I just posted my '71 with slide-in in the "One That Got Away" thread. My biggest regret with selling.

I just found these pictures from last spring that landed in the wrong folder on my computer. Just a few square of shakes

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Hey nice truck,I like the composite bed

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Ok, The D-Max is the one hauling a tow trailer with the k5 on board.

Sweet, love to see happening these days! a1

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

CG, going to a swap meet? or backing in to unload? truck load of $$$$$

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Looks like a nice score! :metal: Hope to see more of that over on the Burban side of the site.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

thanks! after looking at every 67-72 suburban in the country for the last 6 months, I finally scored one I can work with for my project at a great price :)

it's clean inside, uncut dash, uncut doors, uncut wiring, etc., very solid with minimal rust and although sitting for a few years, drove on and off the trailer on its own :D

I'll get a thread going in the burb area soon..

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

We were going to a swap meet. People wont pay jack here at a swap meet. I see stuff selling here on the board for two to four times as much and need to be shipped. Shipping big stuff like tail gates just isn't worth the hassle. I did give a bunch of board members some very good deals on parts.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

It seems flippers think the original and still the best way to buy parts is just their wholesale market any more. When their eyes bug out after being quoted what they would be wanting for it I just say, "Isn't that what you would ask?". It's not like swap meets are a bunch of guys having fire sales. These are the most dedicated and often longest involved individuals who, if not for them, there would not have been this hobby to turn to. Respect your swap meet vendor. Also, we can get a little gnarly out there in those few days, unlike the keyboard pecker taking a few minutes to list at over the top prices from his arm chair. So WATCH OUT!! :uhmk:

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I worked the Longhorn a little today. BTW it has a 700R4 transmission.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Neat! I like how it sits below the top of the bedside...was the below-deck an option or did you make that yourself?

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Thanks it was not an option but should have been. You can't see the spare from the side top or bottom. It was all made from scratch except for a trailer fender used up side down.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Very good job man. I figured it had to be something you'd done yourself but I didn't know for sure.

I'm a stepside man so my spare tire is pretty out of the way to begin with but if I had a fleetside, I'd do what you did. Does your inverted fender have a drain hole?

*Just this week I gave a guy a ride to work, he'd had a blowout but didn't have a spare. He said "if you hadn't of stopped and picked me up, I'd have lost my job because it was my first shift with that company."

Carry those spares, keep them pumped up.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Flippers, keyboard peckers and peckerheads. Did I get that right.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

There is a drain hole and 3/16 round bar on the bottom for water and debris to wash out.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

A pic from Memorial day morning windmill install at a friends place. Had two of my favorite trucks out that day:) The 01 and the 71 were both used. I need to get a brake controller installed in the 71.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Nice to see it in use. Nice to see you doing windmills.

Makes me want to show a job picture. Not sure if this has been shown. Last summer on a sundeck job. Just tools & 'stuff' in the bed needed for the job

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Is towing hauling? I took a load of job waste to the center today. The old 133" wheelbase didn't know the load was back there. Notice the payload was only a little over a ton.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Yep, hauling a trailer. Looks good and happy.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

The best part was that big block idled through that photo op and unloading the trailer with the air conditioner running. I've never had a BB that would do that.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I don't get it. If that's a weigh-back at 9,640 then that trailer must be made of lead.
My small-block 133" GMC weights 5,300 with all tools, sides Etc. What makes your rig so heavy? Or am I missing something here? -BA
