I'll take even the slowest truck vs a muscle car lol unless its a race. My truck gets used as a truck all the time and its plenty fast enough. What are you building with the concrete?

I only asked cuz I want some speed and I want to know how to get it. The search continues...

Spent alot of time with one of those mixers and Dad's old 70 C/20 back when I was a kid. Shoveled off 3 ton of sand from the truck once and ran every bit of it through the mixer later. Yea the old truck was squatted but handled it fine! Sure wish we'd taken a pic of that load!

Did a concrete bridge with my dad too out of a '70 c10 in Barbourville, Ky (about 1980).

Owning a muscle-truck is like being married to a good-looking women who can also cut a cord of wood. (Like my wide can =)

It is good at more than just one thing.

Wait til she hears that you called her "my wide". Back to the doghouse you go!

Yeah, I blew that one

I meant when I called my wife my wide =)

Zutroy · 11-06-2012, 12:44 PM

The mixer is irrelevant, it's the 1000 lbs of concrete that do the trick. Only way I can keep the wheels from roasting.

I'm helping my little brother rebuild his 200 year old barn. We poured some foundation Sunday.

Beautiful vehicles! And to think that your neighbors spent more money on their minivan, and in 5 years it won't be worth much of anything....

Best part about having a truck that hauls ass is when you have a load of firewood in the back and can still beat some snotnose punk in a rice burner off the line and whip him light to light.

Im was with one of each but opted to keep the truck over the car.

Here's my #'s matching '70 SS 396 that I sold a few months ago.

My '69 SS Chevelle I sold a couple of years ago.

And my current '70 C10.

Wish I could have taken a group pic like the rest of y'all.

Yes, I'm a Chevelle guy. Any of you happen to post on Team Chevelle?

Next Chevelle will be a '65-'67 if not a '64-'65 GTO.
