1979 Chevrolet C70 Conversion to OEM Air Conditioning
I think it was a bad design. Its predecessor the 555 was a poor engine as well. The VT-225 was a improved design that was promised to have the problems of the earlier version fixed. Sadly, it was no better. The compression rings would fail the engine would get hard starting with smokey exhaust and high oil consumption. The good news was it had sleeves, the bad was parts were gold plated.

Hauled one of my tractors to the local show and swap meet only to find out it had been canceled Thursday due to forecast weather. The good news is it gave me the incentive needed to get my truck washed.

Well, I finally loaded my truck to the limits! Headed out for a Sunday afternoon of family cookout and jet skiing on Pat Mayse lake (pictured is my son Noah).

Re: 1979 Chevrolet C70 Conversion to OEM Air Conditioning
best part of a wheel lift for trailer towing is the power in/out and small angle change for the ball left/right to help hook up . and then ability to set good angle for towing with up/down .

Yes, being able to adjust the hitch fore and aft, up and down is wonderful. With a boat you can extend it and not have to get the truck wet!

Re: 1979 Chevrolet C70 Conversion to OEM Air Conditioning
years ago i used one to pop tree shrubs out and some short chain link fence posts we knew were not in to deep .
also few blocks of 4x4 or 6x6 can be used to help lift the whole truck up with the wheel lift to get the bed level with a semi trailer or loading dock so you can drag a pallet or other items on the tow truck .
