Cool Re: Price question survey / 84 GMC

Ive actually never overloaded it ever.
What I have usually used it for was was to transfer my motor parts and assembled motors to and from the machine shops, head shops, and what have you.
Once in a while I use it for the scrap yard for steel remnants, or to the local boneyards for parts pick ups.
For the most part its been a daily driver to and from work, about 20 minutes one way 5 days a week and do weekend stuff with it.
Ive picked up a 72 cab from GreenHornMale up in Pittsburg, Calif...about 8 hours from here, picked up an Eaton axle east of Sac-town with it, trailer it a few times to move my mini trucks, and just recently used it to help a friend with a Buell.
He had a flat rear tire so we rolled it on to the tailgate and it picked it right up!!!

The truck sits level, rides quite smoothe, and drives perfectly straight!
I do have a set of Moser axles for this truck that are brand new and never installed yet!
Had I kept it, I had planned to air bag the axle, add the Moser axles and toss in an Eaton Posi.
That would handle it alike a 3/4 as much as I would prefer it to.
The truck was ordered as a 1/2 ton.
That is how I received it.

Otherwise it's been a fine truck.

Only reason to sell it is is that I located a 73 454 3/4 ton Chevy truck.
This newer truck for me suits my needs currently.
