Trucks in their natural surroundings - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

In my book there is nothing nicer to see than an old working truck in an actual farm or ranch setting. That is as true as it gets..

So please if you have pictures of actual working farm or ranch truck in their natural setting - help make an old man smile, and post them.

Heres the stepside with 1200lbs of shingles for the carport. I also have drug many 16' pine logs with it around the property to mill wood.

3/4" rubber horse stall mat will let you move anything in the bed and not damage the wood/stainless steel strips

66Submarine,

Are those platforms across the rear fenders home-made or were they once sold somewhere?

They certainly seem to be homemade to me, although whoever did it did a pretty good job of it. As a part of it, they also lined the bed with the same steel treadplate, and even went up over the sides with it; kind of like a slide-in liner. IIRC it's all 12 gauge thickness (maybe 14, but I want to say I remember it being 12), and judging from the deep valley pounded into the bottom of the bed near the tailgate, that thickness wasn't excessive at all!

Here's an old picture that shows them a little better:

You know it's a bad day when you have to break out the tech manual and the hood is up outside the garage. Lol.

Another one of our hardest working member's truck. I love seeing these trucks working hard.

TJ's Chevy · 05-04-2014, 09:29 AM

Fords being towed...Whats new?

66Submarine · 05-02-2014, 05:46 PM

A couple more, in case you weren't convinced yet.

(BTW, the tractor in the bed was just a test, although I think it would have done just fine.)

I have more if you need them, lol.

No farms around the area, but here is me using the truck while building my new shed.
