I've seen this.One pedal or the other is usually being pushed thru the floor.

I drive mine cause ole what's'er name don't ride in it.To haul furniture.To a cruise night.For Therapy.Or just because I have to have something to haul the "Foil Beanie" in.

Before I retired a few years ago, it was my DD...... to work, the post office, the grocery store or hardware store..... as well as any heavy hauling like firewood, lumber, gravel etc.

Now it mostly sits until it's needed for heavy hauling. Lately, it's brought home three loads of firewood.

I don't abuse it, but it's never been babied either. It's my workhorse, just like it was built for.

This was earlier today. My sister needed some trees cut down and hauled off.

Mine is my work truck, and my toy, all in one! I just bought a second truck so the first one can get some major bodywork, but I love them to death and drive them as often as I can

The pickup gets driven about every other day hauling lumber and anything that can't fit on the back of my '84 welding truck. I do all the heavy pulling with the '84 since it has a 454/4 speed. I drive the suburban a couple times a month to keep everything working, when it's all fixed I'm gonna take it to some mud bogs.
