sounds like some of you should consider buying a truck :lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Mine was one of those deals- the first time, I used that as my commuter and didn't have a truck. The second time I didn't want to make a 36 mile round trip for the pipe. I use the truck for that stuff, now.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Some people will do the dangdest things. I tell you what.
Years ago at the lumber yard we had a customer come in and bought 6 sq of shingles and a few little things. He was in a car and I guess the trunk was too full of stuff so he instructed the load puller to stack them on top of the trunk lid. I kid you not! The guy left there with packs of shingles on top of the trunk lid and said it'd be alright, he wasn't going far. Not even a strap on it. I just shook my head in disbelief..
And there was the guy who bought 2 lifts of 5/8" sheetrock and it was loaded on his flatbed trailer. He said no straps necessary, wasn't going far. All of it slid off onto the pavement in the middle of the 4 lane intersection not 30 yards from our store, at noon on a Saturday. And that guy was a teacher at the local college at the time.

No lumber rack on either truck, so Zero came to the rescue. ;) Notice my dog rolling over laughing his tail off! :lol:

Very nice

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Looks like it was new when the car was new.. Most excellent.

Changing up with some random photos from my friends tire shop I took while getting some new rubber. They're into vintage rallying. Very tempting. He just swapped the original V6 out of the Capri for the 302.

More information on the Alcan and the wining 73 Capri. Scroll to the bottom and check out the 46 photos from the rally.

Sometimes less is more. Good job.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I love those little bangers
They didn't want their light covers back, too? :lol: Looking better all the time.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I do too. The one not on the rack seems to live at the shop. There's two others that are daily drivers in the summer time. I see them fairly regularly. Ones a older two stoke version.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

thanks Paul & Tim
only want to get a couple more things. a black canopy for the dawgs and some black fender flares. will crank the bars a bit to fit a set of 285's i have and call it done.
Tim, i noticed your green gmt 400 work truck had a base grille. wouldn't happen to know what they call the color they painted them? a bunch of the paint on mine is worn off

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

The '95 work truck I swapped in an earlier (like '92-ish) W/T series grille. Those are almost black. They have that mesh grille work they call speed grille. But my '95 Suburban Cheyenne I did repaint the grille for the same reason as you. I used Rustoleum "Metallic" series Charcoal. Here are before and after pictures

I've been guilty of using my suv as a truck a time or 2.

Bad photo but I put a coat or more like 52 coats of polyurethane on the old patio bench today since it was warmer weather.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Me too. Like every day for work. Then again, it is a 3/4 ton truck, after all :cool:. It's more truck than most pickups out there. At least it's used more as a truck than most. Crew cab short bed totally enclosed and secure that converts to a long bed

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Got about 6" so far and still coming down. Already ran the snow blower and shoveled and everything is covered back up again.

Took this one a while back. Motor home pulling a truck with motorcycles sitting on the bed.
