Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
Pictures tell the story... How much do you think this haywagon weighs? I know it had this coil spring C10's undivided attention - Pennsylvania ain't flat!

Man that work truck looks better than my project truck! Good to see it still serving its owner.

... You guys cheated, you have side rails on the hay rack so the load does not fall apart coming out of the field.
![]() I was very content when I was sweating and bailing hay as a kid. great pictures. life is good,kent

Some of those shots look like they could have come out of a 72 Brochure from Chevy. Very nice

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
I feel my hay fever kicking in already. We used a '79 Chevy heavy 1/2 ton for our hay hauling truck, with an 18 foot flatbed gooseneck...man we put that thing through its paces. Of course I didn't develop my allergy to the stuff until I didn't have to haul it anymore.
Great pics. Thanks for sharing. |

That is a pretty nice truck. Wish my work truck was half as nice as that one.

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
prairewolf is right, side rails is cheating. I bailed a lot of hay and straw over the years, never having sides on the wagons.

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
3.73 is the perfect performance/towing gear for a 1/2 ton. an overdrive trans is the only thing needed if you do a lot of highway driving. my 72 burb 3/4 ton has 4.57 gears that will be swapped out for 4.10 and i will be adding an overdrive. that truck is too beautiful to be used in such a manner, and yet it is gratifying to see a nice old truck still doing what GM intended all along. if the engine ever needs replacing....go with a 383....you will get more power for the same gas mileage. i bought my burb for towing trailers as much as gracing the show scene....only way to rationalize a vehicle that isn't an economical ho hum daily driver type.
