Re: Anyone using their truck as a work truck?
Just an idea, If I were you, to do it on the cheap/quick, do a little bodywork and then get a vinyl wrap to get you by. My brother just had his done and the shop he used had an S-10 of similar condition of your truck that they put a flat blue wrap w/ company logo on it for a parts runner truck. Looked really cool! May want to ask someone in the biz to see what would need to be done to prep it so it sticks.

Re: Anyone using their truck as a work truck?
Not yet but I am planning on it. Right now it holds a seat, AC brackets...the kids bikes but seriously it's a truck and that's the cool thing about it. Fun and useful...and if your not worried about some scratches...

Re: Anyone using their truck as a work truck?
When I get them road worthy, both of mine will be work trucks. I plan on making the 67 a 4x4, as it'll be more useful in my life. Nice to see I'm not the only one, I have a couple friends, father and son that have used the two they have for work trucks for years. The 71 the son drives that has been converted to 3/4 ton 4x4, they've had since 72 I believe. The other one is a 69 factory 3/4 4x4. Both show alot of wear and tear, they are loggers and also haul gravel. One of the dump trucks they run is a 67 or 8 C/60.

I use mine daily as a ranch truck. I often haul 2000lbs + of hay in the bed and deliver to customers, or tow my 20' trailer loaded with hay or firewood or ?? It's tough, dependable, and will go anywhere!

Re: Anyone using their truck as a work truck?
Just a short story. My son and his wife restored her grandpa's '70 C-10 truck so she could drive it and remember her grandpa.
They did such a good job she is afraid to drive it because it might get scratched or worse. It now occupies a space in his garage rarely driven.

To the OP: Yup I sure do use my truck as a work truck. It is the only car I own at the time and I drive it every day. I've put everything from full loads of split oak, to 15 kegs of beer, to a weeks worth of camping gear, to a built Olds455 with attached TH400, to mulch, scrap metal, motorcycles, and bricks in the back of it. And I've only owned it for about a yeah and a half. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
