Hauling wood with a GMC 1-ton with a V-6! Cool - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

We have alot of firewood cut and split so my brother and I spent most of today hauling it. Of-course, the hauler was my '69 GMC 1-ton t-tag(PA slang for mini single axle dump truck). Nothing like overloading it with wood and lugging down the 305 V-6 on the mountains and it just keeps on pulling. To think its going on 40 years old and still working...................Like a rock!

And as long as it moves and nothing breaks it ain't overloaded.

Hmmm, I like the way you think.

That's what these trucks were built for..........getting the crap beat out of 'em and you end up getting tired before they do.

Hey would your 1 ton have an option code R55K on it to get it to be a "t-tag" type truck?
The VIN number might have something other then the standard "-" in it, maybe a "K", could you post the VIN number? Maybe like CM334KB5xxxx ???

Could you check on that for me?

Thanks.
