30 years in Business-And we're still using these trucks! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

There's no doubt about it
These trucks saved a lot of money over the years
Nearly all of them were bought from $1500-$2500
The last couple years I've been upgrading the fleet
And have sold some of the more beat ones
I advertised them for $1500 each
They sold like hot cakes, usually by knocking off $100 bucks

That was a good investment
It was like using
The trucks for over 20 years for $1000 dollars

I sold this one recently to a young kid just going into business ($1400)
Picture was one taken for Craigslist, after removing logo
I never had to replace the engine in it.
In fact I don't think this truck was ever towed.
It was a true workhorse!

Here's some pictures of one the trucks having some fun.
Our town has a parade each year, held at night.
"A light parade"
I put a killer stereo in this truck.
And cranked Christmas music the whole loop.
It wasnt even December
People loved it, and cheered the whole time.
What a blast!

Christmas trees are an easy time.
This one has seen very little hauling of gravel and such.
Maybe a pallet or two of material every once in a while.
By the time it ended up in the fleet, these trucks were becoming collected.
It is to nice of a truck to destroy.

Total coolness all the way! Now that is what I mean when someone says their trucks are part of the family... I was born in 68 and I recall seeing these trucks at work... I can recall how thrilling it was to drive by the small local Fire Dept. I'd always get to see the 66 and the 1970 K20 brush trucks always out on display for all to see. I can remember sitting on the snow bank for hours watching the plow guy clearing the church parking lot with his 71 K20 in the mid to late 70's. I just loved watching this guy give it hell, his truck had a 4 speed with glass-paks. He knew I loved watching him at work, when the snow was deep and heavy he would put on a good show, total awesomeness! Its like everyone KNEW these trucks were special, even so long ago....
