Straying from the flock? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My family had 4 of them over 15 year or so period for ranch use. They were tough...REAL tough! But as they started breaking down we eventually had to retire two of them for parts for the other two. Many of the parts were just not available. Granted that was in the 80s-90s and the internet wasn't an option for tracking stuff down. As a side note, we had virtually no trouble with the engines themselves. They were running like tops until we started stripping them down. It was the rest of the drivetrain that would give us problems.
