Towing home a new project, maybe on the heavy side. Was glad that truck had its engine in the bed.

My wife has a 66 chevy 3/4 that her daddy bought new in Dec of 1965. She would load it with 6500 pounds of feed and haul it 35 miles on a weekly basis

Got me a little 4 foot box blade to pull behind my 430 John Deere diesel garden tractor.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Getting crazy over here. I do take it on the occasional Home Depot lumber run.

Working
 

Those dirt boxes are very popular in the South West, especially so when coupled with a competent operator ~ they look simple but it's not as easy as it looks, needs a deft touch .

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

good luck with your new implement! box graders are great once you get the hang of it.. my dad knew what he was doing and I don't but I can still get the job done :lol:

hard to capture the depth with crappy cell phone picture but the groundhogs had dug several very deep dens under a big hay trailer that parks there..

Recently hauled home a wrecked 2003 duramax i bought from auction. My dually was broke down. I figured i was close to 10k. Little small block did amazing. I forget how good these trucks tow. Was about a 60 mile trip.

Thank you for sharing that .

The Burban has been earning it's keep lately. One of three loads that went the dump and a load of scrap iron to the scrap buyer.
Man the price of scrap is in the dumps right now. I took 900 pounds in and got $28.00 in return. :waah:
And I went shopping and picked up some trinkets.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

That looks like a 400 ci small block with the 3 expansion plug holes on the block.... on the other hand, probably not. the casting on the rear pass. side isn't familiar to me...

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Made my own seadoo/quad trailer... dont want to scuff the finish on the floor loading the quad in and out of the box...

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

My dad takes pix like that. Lots of sky and lots of driveway :)

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Your welcome for bringing you childhood memories back lol
Next time I'll crop it out

A 400 and a 455 Pontiac.

Dad's Pictures
 

In the 1950's & 1960's Pops took what he called "pictures of the inside of Abe Lincoln's hat" when he'd leave the lower lens cap on his Rolliflex camera....

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Both trucks still in use on my property

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Old picture...


This was over a decade ago. Sad, truck has been sitting ever since.

Happy to say, I started truck up and it still runs.




I sure do love the 67 thru 72s...

Bob


Edit... I am sorry, my photos were not right. I hope to improve.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Had to pick up some tile last week-end. Put a hurt on the old stepper, but the GMC did fine!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Hah,

Can't put no hurt on a work truck.


Love it...

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

My truck hauling a load five and a half hours from our Texas home to our new home in Arkansas. This was the first load and I have done two more loads since.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Welcome to Arkansas. Where to?

Bought a nice farmhouse with shop just outside Mena. North Texas is getting to many people!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Hey Hot wheels fan, Nice Javelin! I'm a big AMC fan!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Looks like the 68 AMX I bought a while back the guy took it apart about 15 years ago.

My 69 . I'm a sucker for orphaned vehicles

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Does this count? Ha!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Looks kinda familiar. They're cool cars. :metal:

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

We had one I wish never got away. '68 Javelin bought new by my Wife's Dad sold by my DUMBA$$ back in '83.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I hope they were non-usable. I've been trying to track down a good poncho 400 block for a few years now. They're rare as sunburns in Canada where I live.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

The 455 was bored .060 over and may clean up for a .065 piston. The 400 is standard bore but the lifter bores will need to be honed to clean up the rust, then checked before any other work is started just in case the bores are too far gone. But free was a great price for the pair.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Hauling a cord of firewood, one of many it has hauled in it's lifetime.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Mr. 48 - almost no back sag with that load?!!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I was thinking the same thing. Thats quite a load!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Aye, great suspension hauling that wood. Very nice indeed.

Trucks are the best for work... I love heavy duty.


Also,

Great to see those AMCs.

Fixed up the 290 with 4 speed and got it running. Sold the vehicle as well.

Lite loading down to the storage building. ;)

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Looks good, Boog. My shortbed has a load on it now before it's even a complete truck :lol:

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I'm so glad to see that thing in the daylight.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I asked the wife if she'd like to go for a ride but she said no. Something about bugs in her teeth or something..

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Wives can be so negative. :lol::lol::lol: I'll go anytime, bugs or no.
