old/new problem
hey i've got a small problem . just bought a 86 gmc 3/4 ton good body, good running 350. needs a little interior work and a bed. picked it up for 5 bills. now i think i'm going to have to choose to keep it or the 72 1/2 ton. i have a guy down the road said he'll buy the 72 if i want to sell it. the 86 needs less work than the 72(blew a brake line last time i drove it) plus i can get a gooseneck trailer to haul the ponies with. any way just thinking out loud.

Re: old/new problem
Sounds like a good deal on the 86.
I like the 67-72s better myself, but it just depends on the situation you are in and how soon you need to use the truck to haul the ponies. Danny

Re: old/new problem
if they are both ohio trucks, then you need to let the condition of the 2 trucks answer your delima.
Why wouldn't the 72 be able to haul the horses? |

Re: old/new problem
thirdstreettito is right, with the wife, daughter, and myself all running barrels,or roping it's going to take a 16 to 20 foot trailer to haul 3 to 5 horses. much rather have a goose with that much weight, plus the brakes are heavier.

Re: old/new problem
Do what you got to do.There`s other old trucks when you can get another.If it comes down to one it`s got to do it all.
