let's see some 8 lug trucks

I am curious to see how many of use there are I have noticed a increasing number of 3/4 and 1 ton trucks ,my only guess is there is a lesser demand so there cheaper then the half ton variety. I will start out with mine.Name:  IMG_20141130_131454_hdr_kindlephoto-111196570.jpg

Re: let's see some 8 lug trucks

Hi HotRod66 - I agree with you. I believe that there is less interest in the 3/4 and 1 tons' with many of the people that do get them, change their original configuration for one that is more driveable on today's roads and speeds.

Here is mine:

Re: let's see some 8 lug trucks

I also believe that the supply of half tons is drying up and some are "settling" for a 3/4 ton to get the body style they want. I used to feel that way myself, now I find I'm actually wanting a 3/4 ton.

Real split rims would be scary, I agree. Lock ring wheels (3 piece) get lumped in with the really bad wheels but shouldn't. I changed the wheels mostly because the damn 7.50-17 tires are expensive. The truck looked a little better with the larger 34" tires on it. I may buy the right tires some day and go back to the original wheels. For now, the old spare is mounted high and proud.

Here's my '66 GMC 2500 133" WB. I just pulled the fire support body off. The body weighed more than the truck.

Re: let's see some 8 lug trucks

I don't have any better pics at the moment, but here's my '66 C20 I dragged out of a field last spring. 5"/3" drop 1/2 ton springs. Just finished making all new brake lines over the weekend. Hoping to have it mobile before Greaserama this year.

Re: let's see some 8 lug trucks

Well this 63 is technically still mine. I made a trade for it this past weekend but the new owner has yet to pick it up.
It's a 63 3/4 ton with long bed step side.
