A little Ike clean up with the 64 C20. A trip to the scrap yard in the morning.

Beautiful truck man! Just glad you and your familiy is o.k.! My heart goes out to people who have lost, loved ones, or personal possesions.

I use my 65 as a truck every day, it is a little on the rough side for a resto,or rod, but not so rough that I tear it up.
We did a dump run with it a couple weeks ago, and any time we need to hual something it gets used.

YOLO · 10-09-2008, 08:51 AM

jon...... it must be pretty rough if you don't want to fix it.

jchav62 · 10-09-2008, 09:20 AM

Cool truck! Here's my '62 at work rescuing a '66 short-fleet.

We are ok. We lost a carport, a bunch of shingles off our roof, and some water damage inside the house. Too much other misc damage to list. The eye of the storm went right over us! I would say we did pretty good.

I will take a better picture next time I am trimming the trees with the 64.

Texasdeere · 10-25-2008, 10:32 PM

Anyone else have any pictures of thier 60-66 hauling or pulling?

*LILRED66* · 10-27-2008, 11:26 PM

Here is a picture of my '66 C20 Custom Camper towing my '66 C10.

Texasdeere · 10-29-2008, 10:34 AM

Just took the trash up to the road. Taking some ladders back to the barn.

MEANlowGREEN · 10-29-2008, 10:51 AM

Glad you survived the storm. Seeing a 60-66 truck pulling a trailer does my heart good

I used mine for hauling lumber and trash and whatever when it was a longbed. I have pretty well stopped since converting it though. The only thing I've hauled in it since shortening it is the cherry picker I borrowed to lift the old bed off and set the new bed on. Your truck just looks awesome doing what it was meant to do

283 Man · 10-29-2008, 12:01 PM

Great looking 64!!I love it to because its got the 283 and 2 speed powerglide

..

66customcamper · 10-29-2008, 12:52 PM

Nice truck! Always good to see them working. Here is my firewood truck, empty in this shot,

But looks like this just about every weekend in the fall & winter:

Well, maybe a few less sticks

MEANlowGREEN · 10-29-2008, 02:02 PM

Nice! That's as big a load of firewood as I've ever seen on a pick-em-up truck!

283 Man · 10-29-2008, 03:10 PM

holly cow !! thats a lot wood

that trucks doing a job

kizer · 10-29-2008, 04:45 PM

I bet those factory bump stops where getting a little work out. Huh?

66customcamper · 10-29-2008, 05:33 PM

LOL, I don't load MY truck quite that high. I've had a full cord of green madrone on it, right about 5000 lbs. Was a little scary coming down the mountain. Couldn't get it below 25mph and didn't think I was gonna make it.
Only did that once, but routinely cut & haul 3/4-1 cord of dry madrone, around 3000 lbs. This truck amazes me how well it handles the load.

BTW, I found the pic of the red one on google.

tiggamonsta · 10-29-2008, 08:22 PM

I guess that is one way to do a static drop out back.

72BlckButy · 10-29-2008, 08:52 PM

It's always nice to see those work horses still at it.

MacAttack · 10-30-2008, 11:39 AM

What a great idea for a thread. I don't have any pics yet of my tan 65' hauling my skiff up the boat ramp - but that won't be long.

rickf · 10-30-2008, 07:46 PM

My favorite load...

MEANlowGREEN · 10-30-2008, 07:51 PM

A classic hauling a classic! Nice
