Been driving C10 SWB 2wd trucks (6 cylinder/manual trans) for about 45 years now.

We (my family) use them for daily transportation, occasional light towing and hauling (aka "parts chasin', hauling engine blocks, sand bags, cement blocks, towing to the drag strip, retrieving the kid's broken down vehicles).
