Brought Another One Home - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

vtblazer · 12-11-2004, 06:53 PM

Made a 600 mile round trip to NJ today (11th)
I traded my wheeler for a truck with another board member.
Drove down with my wheeler on the car trailer, off loaded the wheeler and reloaded the truck, that simple, done deal.
To add icing on the cake my 9yr old daughter made her first road trip with dad today too.

silvertonguedevil · 12-11-2004, 06:55 PM

Looks like a nice truck and a pretty sweet deal!

vtblazer · 12-11-2004, 06:58 PM

Sharing the driveway with the burb.
Now it's time to give it some lovin'

This deal worked out pretty well, the truck is as it was descibed.
Thanks Tommy.

HeavyD · 12-11-2004, 07:09 PM

Nice truck. I have always liked those wheels, have a set myself in storage waiting to go on a 72 swb project if I ever get one. I am surprised more members don't use these wheels more!?!

**JIMs70GMC** · 12-11-2004, 07:15 PM

That's great. It's always more enjoyable with the kids. The last trip I took my 9 yr old son went with me. He had a blast.

JimKshortstep4x4 · 12-11-2004, 07:30 PM

That is a nice looking truck!

That will be a great addition to your fleet.

Jim

**Canadian694x4** · 12-11-2004, 08:18 PM

Congrats on yet another find! Glad to hear the deal went off without any hitches.

spencra · 12-11-2004, 08:29 PM

Damn Kurt, that is a sweet truck. What's in it? What needs to be done to it?

Where in NJ did you get it? Is that gonna be your new daily driver?

Have fun with that thing.

useRc10 · 12-11-2004, 08:56 PM

i have those wheels on my '72...they just arent wide enough is the only problem

67cst · 12-11-2004, 09:16 PM

Damn thats a sweet trade...more pics!

teeitup · 12-11-2004, 09:40 PM

Another sweet find!!!!! Your getting quite a collection.

70 shorty · 12-11-2004, 10:38 PM

Yeah, now you got to mount a plow on the truck, to replace the one on the 4 wheeler since I see you've already got some snow to move. Nice truck BTW!

Swbman · 12-12-2004, 01:05 AM

I would have to say you got the better end of the stick,in other words you made out pretty good.Way to go.

**special-K** · 12-12-2004, 08:34 AM

It`s a bad deal if you didn`t get a snow shovel with it.Hmmm...bad deal if you did.Good trade,you can always find new stuff.

Blue Beard · 12-12-2004, 08:42 AM

Nice trade....but won't you miss the little guy?

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-12-2004, 10:29 AM

Kurt, I Should Have Known When You Came 2 My House On Your Way
To Texas To Get That Black Swb BB Truck You Were Just Getting A
Head Start On Your "Fleet" Congrats On Another Nice Truck Buddy.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-12-2004, 11:08 AM

Looks like you got one hell of a deal.......

arkracing · 12-12-2004, 11:28 AM

how'd that trailblazer pull the truck back to VT???

kinda small to pulling trucks isn't it??

**Yukon Jack** · 12-12-2004, 12:31 PM

Good looking truck. You're getting quite the fleet.

vtblazer · 12-12-2004, 07:22 PM

Got to spend some time checkin out the new truck, it'll need rockers at some point in time but the floor, corners and mounts are in great shape.
This truck is a "put together truck" there's a few trucks that donated parts to make it whole.
It's a 70 frame with a 72 cab/grill. The disc's were swapped over also.
It even has a tilt column.
Here's the replies in order asked:
Spencra: It's a 350/350/205 truck w/3.73 gears
Needs a little TLC but is very solid. went onto NJ just south of Port Jevise NY.
And yes, this will be my daily driver.

Brainchild: Your absolutly correct.
67CST: okay, here's more pics
Teeitup: Thanks, but I really need to stop soon

70shorty: Good Idea but not yet.
Blue Beard: Yes I will, it's a great machine.

LUV: Yep, it's officially a fleet now...

arkracing: The Trailblazer does pretty darn well, hills aren't at speed but it will do 65mph quite nicely. I think I'm at the upper range of it's capacity though. My trailer has tandem electric brakes, that helps out allot.
Here's a couple more pics showing the truck, the other is after a couple hours of "luvin"

Brainchild · 12-12-2004, 07:40 PM

Sure wouldn't be hard to drive that truck daily,very nice

jc · 12-12-2004, 08:38 PM

Who let that truck outta the state

i think theres export laws on 67-72 trucks in new jersey (indangered species resons i believe) only allowed to import them

enjoy
