How Many 3/4 Ton's Out There??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Somtimes it feels like i'm the only one in the area with a 3/4 ton out there

.... was wondering how many of ya'll own one of these beasts??

ohh and i'd love to see some pics

I've got 70 CST 3/4 ton. Haven't driven on the road in a few years but I go out and put a battery in it to start every once in a while. Love those glass packs! Was my daily driver for about 3 years back in the day. Then I worked the h out it hauling steel, firewood, cattle you name it for around 8 years. It has been ridden pretty hard and put up wet a few times. It has the original 396/TH400. It will be restored one of these days (don't know if it will stay 3/4 ton or not). Right now, it's just my avatar.

JPCY72 · 02-02-2010, 09:53 PM

I got one

Sinister · 02-02-2010, 10:04 PM

Here's my '69.

Shyguy · 02-02-2010, 10:12 PM

I had a '67 lwb C-20 stepper for a while, now it is a '67 swb stepper.

Here are before and after pictures, this spring I am going to start a slow restoration on it.

I will be replacing the '96 bed with a '68 short step bed.

My son wants to use the '96 bed on a rat rod he plans to build some day.

**Stocker** · 02-02-2010, 10:58 PM

Considering the firewood, sheetrock, dirt, lumber, sod, and lots of other stuff my truck has carried over the years... I'm glad it's a 3/4ton.

There have been times I wished it was a 1 ton.

vectorit · 02-02-2010, 11:02 PM

I know what you mean, in the burb circles the K20's are few and far between.
Here is my 1968 K20

PJsthnam · 02-02-2010, 11:25 PM

Not a great pic., but here ya go.....

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-02-2010, 11:33 PM

short-t · 02-03-2010, 12:32 AM

Your not alone thats for sure...

My 68 C20 50th, 396/400 with air and original paint!

CCCC · 02-03-2010, 02:01 AM

There is nothing any lighter than a 3/4 ton truck around our place - three C20 LWB pickups (2 are Longhorns) and a K20 LWB (pics shown). There are a few C30s (1 ton) here as well. No interest at all in 1/2 ton stuff (well MAYBE a strong K10 someday) - they are just too light/soft and do not drive and feel like a real truck.

67ss&99ss · 02-03-2010, 03:33 AM

was every 3/4 ton truck a lwb? I don't think that I have ever seen a swb 3/4 ton.

longhorn70gmc · 02-03-2010, 03:49 AM

Got one here and it's a GMC Sierra Grande Longhorn 3/4 ton.

OhioDan · 02-03-2010, 05:22 AM

Here's mine. 70 GMC 2500
