So, I'm trying to remember to enjoy this part. Kind of like the old saying, it's the journey, not the destination.

I hear ya,

Im restoring the 85 in my avitar, I was gonna rush through it, but this truck has a lot of meaning to me so Im gonna take my time and build it the way I want. Unfortunately thats gonna mean more money. LOL

I had those same wheels on an 82 S-10. What a nice truck that was. $150 and ran it for over a year. Had duct tape holding the bondo on, or vice versa.

That one has to have the ugliest cap I have ever seen. If we ever have an ugliest cap thread, that one's got my vote. Worse than the old grampy aluminum ones.

I like the 80 Chevy grill, but it clashes with the GMC front license plate. Tailgate's GMC as well.

Here's my winter-time workhorse. 1974 GMC Super Custom K2500, 350/400, Dana F&R, Original Fisher SpeedCast 7.5' plow, 'OLD SKOOL' 10 plys.....
43K original (but hard) miles.

Here she is having a day off (don't get many of those)

She's either getting driven to work every other day, hauling stuff to the dump or more stuff from Home Depot, hauling wood, when I leave it home I gave my uncle his own set of keys to be able to use it. (He's helped me out so much over the years, and been close family for us since we moved here)

It brought a little timbit player to hockey several weekend mornings when it was -30 or more below (celsius)

The last 3 pics are taken with my Uncle's crappy BB camera.

[RuralRoute C-30]

Just a couple of pictures of the C-30 working on a Sunday. Came across a good deal on a feed wagon and round bale feeder, with one round bale tossed in on the deal for free.


Stopped at this local church in the country to check the load on a very hot afternoon here in rural Illinois!

Here's a few pics of the 1988 V30 working. A couple different trips for trailers and a multifuel engine in the can.

[Mr Pops]

Here's a shot in the dark.. Thought it looked cool while I was unloading water.

[Rubble]

This truck earns it's keep in the Alberta oilpatch about 25 days per month. The mud on it was done in two wheel drive since I rarely have to use the four wheel drive. Paid 1600.00 for it two years ago and basically have done nothing to it except gas and tires. I can probably go more places in two wheel drive than buddy with his pimped out, jacked up duramax, have something left of the truck at the end of the day, have fun doing it, and if it does break I can haywire it back together and drive home while buddy is waiting on the side of the road for a tow truck. 22 years old and still going strong.
This is when Chevy STILL made four wheel drives.
350 done up, 465, 14 bolt full floater with posi, 4" suspension, 3" body on 35's
