^^^What he said, body looks pretty good too.

Longhorn Man · 10-03-2005, 10:18 PM

throw a new matt in there and she'd be done!
Good trade IMO.
Now you just need a longhorn bed to toss on there.

**Canadian694x4** · 10-03-2005, 10:56 PM

Sweet 1 Ton!! Great Swap!

Swbman · 10-03-2005, 11:26 PM

I for one from the looks of it think you got the better end of the trade..congradulations on your new truck....

Castiron9 · 10-03-2005, 11:46 PM

One ton duallys Rock........

86swb · 10-03-2005, 11:50 PM

Good looken truck. But it looks like a '71 or '72 to me. Does it say '70 on title?

longhorn71 · 10-04-2005, 12:28 AM

Great lookin truck

if it is a 70 it well have front drum brakes if they have not been swapped for discs(great up grade)but that has a 71-72 grill in it.Still and great hauler tho

To answer your guys questions...

Yeah I was hoping that it was a 71,72 when I starting looking at it. But it is indeed a 70. That is what the title says and it does have the lowly manual drum brakes. I definetly need to find out more info on the disc brake upgrade...

Does anyone have any info on the upgrade? Where I might be able to get the parts to do it!.

thanks

A big ditto on the dually's rock thing.

Just got mine a couple months ago.

Great find/trade.

Bubba4spd · 10-04-2005, 06:54 AM

Very good trade there, of course anytime you swap a dodge for a chevy you traded up.

onetoncrewcab · 10-04-2005, 06:57 AM

ONE TONS ROCK!!! See my sig

Good trade. Nice truck.

TP from Cntl PA · 10-04-2005, 07:47 AM

Nice truck. I wouldn't waste my time converting to disks up front if you aren't going to use it much. My '69 GMC 1-ton still has drums all the way round and I don't have any problems getting stopped even with be a tad (Over) Loaded in our PA mountains. Mine does have a OE booster though too, works good for the little bit I use the truck.

**special-K** · 10-04-2005, 07:55 AM

Missing pedal pads,sticker on glovebox non-original.....just kidding.Nice tonner.Looks like a survivor for sure.

Good advise there. From my experience and I driven them all, a properly maintained one ton drum setup will outbrake the disk setup. Something to do with the larger drums and shoes.

From a maintenance standpoint, disks are a nice upgrade.

Jason915 · 10-04-2005, 10:07 AM

That's a nice 1 ton looks to be in great shape for being a work truck

Amen brother!

Longhorn Man · 10-04-2005, 03:13 PM

I have to say I have been pretty impressed with my one ton drums so far...
although, BUYING them sucks. I dropped 5 bills and got a 1/2 redone brake system.
So from a $$ point of view...AND an ease or maintnance point of vew, the upgrade is cool.
