Re: working squares lets see them

I just picked this one up. It has a 5 wheel hitch in the bed and a heavy duty rear tow bumper.

Once I get it running good it will be used to tow stuff around the farm.

Here is a picture of it and when I towed it home.

Re: working squares lets see them

I have a few work trucks.
The first is my dad's old 80,3/4 ton with commercial bed that he and I used in our a/c-electrical business.
The second picture is of my 77,C-10.I've used it for years to haul scrap cars and trucks,as well as my daily driver.It's a 250 six,3 speed on the column with a/c,power steering and a loud radio!
This is one of the junkers I hauled to scrap with the 77.Can soon be had as Chinese junk at WallMart!

Me too!

I usually do Farmall A's, but this property has a lot of trees and low branches so I thought a more squatty machine would do the trick.

I'm going to leave this one just like it is, I believe, rather than turning it into a museum piece.

Thanks. I miss that '84. It was an all time favorite...Camper Special,6.2 w/Banks Sidewinder,Gear Vendors,Detroit Locker/Tru-Trac,desert mural on tailgate/pinstripe(subtle)/lettering. The stereo was an Alpine w/aux. amp and Kickers behind the seat. It had an Alpine cell phone that matched the stereo...green illuminated buttons...and it interacted with the stereo. When a call came in the volume for the radio turned down or the cassette would pause. I paid $700 for that phone! This was in the late '80s.
The '78 was a Camper Special,too. I've always had a thing for camper trucks. It had a 454/4spd and a wood bed floor,as well as good stereo. I warmed that motor up a bit and enjoyed surprising people with a fast loaded work truck. I've always used ratchet straps to tie down the ladders and scaffold on the racks. That must have been a sight all loaded up with full racks carrying 30'/24'/20'/18' walk boards,24'/32' ladders,and 6 24' pump jack poles w/jacks haulin' butt out of a light. I had lettering on the tailgate that said,"No turbo No injection Just one stinkin' Quadrajet!". This was back in the '80s when people were all about Japanese vehicles being so much better and Toyota was calling those little trucks with dual wheels a 1t and even had a SRW pickup with 1Ton on the tailgate,as well as 5spd and anything else under the hood.
