How about another working truck thread?
Post some pics of your truck working. Here's my Chevy w/ over a yard of top soil:

Don't have any current of the 70 working, since it is aprat at the moment, but here is one of it doing some light work and a couple of the 96 getting into it. The sod was alot, although I have no idea of the actual weight. I have yet to get it to squat that way again, even with all the other stuff I have hauled with it.

Can someone post some pics if I e-mail them to you?I have some printed photos of some of the work trucks I`ve had.

Jim how do those boys run empty, cuz they sure don't look like the squat much under load? (I like that :D )
|
Bill,
The Chevy has stock rear springs, on the GMC I added an add-a-leaf and it is noticeably stiffer. I think the sidewalls of the tires help, a little. Since I put the stepside on the gmc I also replaced the rear springs w/ 4" lift rears from tuff country, a noticable improvement. I plan on putting the add-a-leaf on the Chevy. |

Should have taken a pic of mine with a yard of mulch this past spring. That's probably the most it's hauled so far.

So Jim, you don't need blinkers down there in VA?? :hm: :lol: J/K
Great trucks your running!! :cool: |
You just need reflectors on your hand to be legal at night.
|
I guess I'm kinda pushing it. I have the parking lights and a 70 grill w/ lights. But like Special K said watch for the hand signals.
