Maybe they have other trucks to do their work with, and love these trucks enough to want one that handles too

boraxman · 12-09-2003, 02:30 PM

Use it? Drove it 3x since I bought it....Of course I tore it apart to redo it my way

....Almost back together.

stepside454 · 12-09-2003, 02:44 PM

If I wanted a work truck it would be a full size 3/4 ton. not 1/2 to shortbed step side. this is a play truck.. a toy. I dont use it to haul heavy stuff... but it hauls ass just fine.

whitesswj · 03-05-2004, 11:03 PM

Here is me a couple weeks ago when i went and got the parts truck for the 68!!

also, just before i bought this truck, the owner hauled 7,000 lbs of gravel in the back of it, he blew the shocks but that's it. hmmm
take a look

71Chevy4-speed · 03-06-2004, 01:05 AM

Well mine doesn't get used much for hauling. Mostly its just a back and forth to school truck. Did pull the snowplow guy outta the ditch on my driveway... well I wasn't home, step dad used it. Other than that it does haul hot girls....

687980chevy · 03-06-2004, 05:25 AM

Believe it or not I have grossed over 21000lbs. with my 80 c-30 my empty wt. is 7000lb.It's a pretty slow ride but the ole girl never let me down!It's been so reliable I decided to fix her up I posted a thread in paint&body with pics after I finished the cab still need to put in a new wood floor&paint the bed.

jhwkns · 03-06-2004, 12:34 PM
