they both look like @$$ draggers to me. especially the orange one the tires look like they have 5 pounds of pressure in them. good stuff.

shrunken66stroker · 05-02-2009, 02:50 PM

give me an hour or two with a hammer and dolly and she'll be strait as an arrow.

daverod · 05-02-2009, 03:22 PM

I forgot to mention the 5 gallons of mud.

TwiggyTheDrummer · 05-02-2009, 04:11 PM

Yeah the 5 gallons of mud cancels things out. Does that thing still have the whitewalls on it?

Yeah...guess it is an a$$ dragger....That picture was when I walked in...they had like 15-20 bags of concrete mix in it. When I came out, it had a S#it load of 2x6, ply and 4x4 posts on top of it all....Poor thing, he had to ride the fricken clutch to get her moving !!

is that after a 5fth of your favorite.....

shrunken66stroker · 05-02-2009, 10:08 PM

i enjoy some whiskey from time to time but never before body work. that's actually the scale I use to see how straight panels are. if it looks straight before I drink then it's ready to paint. if it looks straight after one cocktail then I hit it with some primer surfacer and block again. if it looks straight after two drinks then I hit it with skim coat and block again. if it looks straight after three drinks I hit it with a heavy dose of filler and block again. if it takes four drinks for the panel to look straight then I sand to bare metal and get out the hammer, dollies and stud gun.

That's just my scale.... use it at your own risk.

chucks1967 · 05-03-2009, 12:06 AM

Well here is a pic of my truck doing some serious work. Thats 1/2 of a 85 foot pine from my front yard... shes a 66 with a 71 long bed on it.. I know its a hybrid but she works hard and never complains!

TwoFiftyShifter · 05-03-2009, 12:16 AM

Im actually not working her that hard much these days. In fact I have a matching bed for it and am working on the sheet metal as we speak. Im hoping to have it on by the end of next month.

*LILRED66* · 05-03-2009, 12:37 AM

The black truck is from 1981. I used this 1965 Chevy C10 lwb fleetside for my lawn mowing business when I was in high school.

The white truck is used for sales calls for my buddy's cabinet business.

The blue truck with the flatbed has been retired from working with me and has since moved on to another owner and his son for their lawn moving business.

The red/white C20 is used for tailgate parties at Chief's games, so that isn't tecnically work, but she sure does a good job of hauling all my goods.

*LILRED66* · 05-03-2009, 12:39 AM

My LILRD66 likes to tailgate, also.

SSWfleetside · 05-03-2009, 09:18 PM

not to get off the topic, but nice b-bq hitch on your truck!

kizer · 05-04-2009, 01:13 PM

Yeah No kidding. Giving me an idea for my Jeep.

66Gilbert · 05-13-2009, 10:29 PM

Hey,

Do these count as put 'em to work pics? Any one else have any pictures of your 60-66 getting a work out, hauling loads or pulling trailers?

66Gilbert · 05-17-2009, 12:57 PM

Here are some more pics. Some 60-66 trucks working hauling other 60-66 trucks or parts and a panel working or playing hauling kayaks and a jeep

**ChiefRocka** · 05-17-2009, 02:30 PM
