Re: Lets see some 73-87 work horses
Here is my '82 diesel. I got it from my father-in-law about 2 years ago. I was used as a delivery truck for his shop, hauling all kinds of parts and machines that they built before I started there. They parked it and it sat for a while. When I got it, it had a bad water pump. After I fixed that I used it to go back and forth to work and hauled my construction tools around.

Re: Lets see some 73-87 work horses
Here's my work truck I use to drive deliveries every day. I put on 150-250 miles daily.

Re: Lets see some 73-87 work horses
Here is our old 74! Not much of a body but the original paint still shines! We saved this truck from the junk yard 15 years ago. It was on it way and we stopped the tow truck. Put a set of points in it and it fired right up! Sold it last fall to a church group. I guess they are using it as a grounds truck.

Re: Lets see some 73-87 work horses
Here are pics from the first 2 missions my work horse has been on.
Yeah, i'm reviving some old threads, but i have been unable to post for a little bit and wanted the chance to toss my steed in to get the recognition that a good work horse deserves! (by the way, i know, i know, the bondo job SUCKS! I have relized that i just don't have the patients required to do a good job, so i'm going to have one of my buddies do it for me...by the way i'm dropping it off tonight for the body work and primer.)

Re: Lets see some 73-87 work horses
It's not really what many of you would consider to be a work horse because she will be seeing some show time over the next couple years and has seen a few shows this year already.
It's my daily driver, pride and joy. I make sure she looks good, but I haven't forgotten that it's still a truck. Tow-package, bed liner, rubber mat, and tie down hooks were added inside the bed.

Re: Lets see some 73-87 work horses
Heres a few of my newly acquired beater. Its already proven itself, and with a better blower motor I had the ac blows ice cold! All in all for 247 bucks (including 10 gallons of gas) it has already paid for itself.

Re: Lets see some 73-87 work horses
  The 78 3/4 4x4, just use it mainly for moving dead cars around the yard. With th400 203 and 4.10 gears she just chugs on along. needs a cam pretty badly though.

I've had 1 or more K30's in my drive continuously since 1977. I currently have 2, again. Your truck is like one of my old 1/2 ton plow trucks,(It is an 1980 truck in pic), in that if it is a 78, it has many parts on it that are not 78 as seen in your picture.
