Re: Intended purpose of our trucks

Great thread!!!

I like post 5!!!

My buddy had a 66 C-10, LWB. Had a mild 406, Muncie M20, 3.42 gear, posi (was a 10 bolt out of a later pickup, modified to work with factory panhard bar). That thing would smoke nearly anything on the road!!!

My pickup still has to be use-able. I'm not into the lowered deal, a little lower is OK.

Short bed pickups are screwed when needing to haul something heavy.
Depending on what you are hauling...If you can shift the load forward on a long bed, the front suspension can absorb some of the load. A lot less so on a short bed.
Lowered short bed cowboy Cadillac's are cool, just not for me...
