What I have to work on today (pic) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HuggerCST · 02-11-2004, 06:01 PM

I'm a mechanic at a college, and this is one of the work trucks that I maintain. It;s a '67 with a staight 6, 3 spd standard, no ps, no pb, no radio. Very plain, but very little rust, and still drives like a dream with 68,000 original miles since bought new by the college in 1967. I'm just waiting for them to retire this one!

Zumo · 02-11-2004, 06:09 PM

Man I think there are a lot of "service" type trucks like that around.

boraxman · 02-11-2004, 06:28 PM

You may be retired before they decide to retire it

HuggerCST · 02-11-2004, 06:29 PM

One thing about it, you just can't ask for one easier to work on when you can pull a transmission in 20 minutes, lol.

SWEET7T · 02-11-2004, 07:59 PM

USU has a C-50 that they use to pickup and drop off the recycle dumpsters. Looks pretty clean, runs pretty good, I wouldn't mind getting my fingers on it!!!

JimKshortstep4x4 · 02-11-2004, 09:18 PM

When I was at Chico State back in the mid 80's they had a small fleet of late 60's Chevys and Fords that looked just like that one. They used them for maintance and only traveled around campus and two blocks down the street to the shop. The interiors looked showroom new and you couldn't even hear them running.

*Gee_Emm* · 02-12-2004, 12:17 AM

Maybe you can "discover" something fatally wrong with it and suggest for them to dispose of it immediately. :p Nothing beats an unmolested truck

weasel29gm · 02-12-2004, 12:18 AM

Tell em' shes all used up and needs put out to pasture!! LOL!!!

cali_surfer · 02-12-2004, 01:17 AM

That's funny, I'm at Chico State rightnow and their fleet of old chevys and fords is still alive and kickin. They have a 68 SWB, 69 SWB, and a 70 LWB all fleet white and in awesome condition, except for the 70, that has seen a little wear and tear.

MAC67 · 02-12-2004, 02:57 AM

i was drivin through carbondale illinois last year just south of me , siu is ther and i saw theyre campus truck is a 68 1/2 ton 4wd burb , i tried to buy it but they said they cant sell them to individuals and it wasnt for sale ,, im gonna keep trying tho

HuggerCST · 02-12-2004, 11:46 AM

Whenever they "retire" a vehicle it has to go to Baton Rouge to a public auction. Of coarse, if it has something "fatally wrong" with it, and can't make the drive....lol, then they auction it from a picture, in which case it brings alot less money. Been there, done that, lol. But this one may be here a while, because the boss has a '72 4x4(very nice) that he has owned for at least 20 years, so he is kinda partial to these trucks.
