1976 Chevy pickup, 11,220 miles on it
Howdy!
I normally hang out over on the '67-'72 Chevy Board but I thought maybe you folks would like to see this truck. It is located about 12 miles south of me in New Sharon, Iowa, parked at the fire station. The wife and I went down there for Pizza and a movie tonight (cheap date) so I took the camera along. There wasn't anyone around, so the pictures tell everything I know about it. I can't make any comments on price or value because I'm not familiar with this style of truck. Enjoy. I'll have to add the rest of the pics in the next post... LockDoc

Re: 1976 Chevy pickup, 11,220 miles on it
I'm curious if it has a Dodge front axle or something. Where are the front hubs? That sure is a sweet survivor.

Re: 1976 Chevy pickup, 11,220 miles on it
Probably a full time 4x4 model that had drive slugs instead of externally locking hubs. They are locked all the time. I'm not sure if they used the same hub caps as the 2wd models, but it would make sense if they did since there are no locking hubs to turn.

Re: 1976 Chevy pickup, 11,220 miles on it
It looks like it has been sitting outside all of its life, not sure if it's a 13k truck mileage or not. Still cool and I wouldn't mind having it

Obviously you have never seen a truck that sat out in Iowa all of it's life. It would be a complete rust bucket if it had been outside since 1976... LockDoc

Re: 1976 Chevy pickup, 11,220 miles on it
Ha. I'm willing to bet that as a fire truck it spent the majority of its life sitting outside and it got a lot of washing/maintenance/attention during the day as most firetrucks do.

Re: 1976 Chevy pickup, 11,220 miles on it
I bet it didn't look how amny bays the station has behind it. They keep there stuff inside. This is a grass fire truck and I am sure has been muddyand dirty several times in its life. Also if that is a volunteer department, they probably don't have someone polishing it 24/7. If it was in my part of Texas and set outside the humidity would have rotted it to the ground by now.

Re: 1976 Chevy pickup, 11,220 miles on it
my 76 3/4 4x4 uses a different style of drive slug than my 78 3/4 4x4 and can use a 2wd style solid hubcap unlike my 78 witch needs a hole in the cover to clear it. Just food for thought.

Re: 1976 Chevy pickup, 11,220 miles on it
Beacause they use salt and they have snow and humidity any of that will cause rust thats why its called the rust belt

Re: 1976 Chevy pickup, 11,220 miles on it
Let's say you didn't drive it in the snow, yet kept it outside. i'm thinking then that rust wouldn't be a problem?

Well, we don't have snow, and our trucks in south east texas will rust just sitting there uncovered with the humidity and rain, Central and West Texas are a different story. |
