What have you put YOUR truck thru?

Look at the thread from ROB H. Theres that youtube video 'Gathering firewood on the beach 2012'...where a man in his 90's uses his handcrank powered crane attatched to his 70 k-20 to load a huge log on that bada** old blue truck out on the rocks on that beach.....now I just got to know if anyone out there has a story about something you've been thru in that old chevy sitting on your driveway,in your garage or in your barn.......what have you pulled or hauled? have you ever broke your TH350 pullin your buddy out of a mud hole or got so angry on a rainy night that you blew your motor because you left your foot to the floor too long....ANY truck related story to enhance the heritage and reputation of these trucks would be well recieved by more people than you think!

One time I tried to put mine thru a light pole.. about 7mph, bent the frame
It does get used as a truck.

Re: What have you put YOUR truck thru?

Had been working out in 100* heat all week, pulled a ford out of the road, helped a buddy load his truck full of carpet. Exhausted, hot, hungry (this is the entrance to the drive thru) I wasn't bobbing and weaving my head, the pole was behind my a pilliar, I didn't see it until after I hit it. All of the stupid crap I pull in my truck and I damn near totaled it in the drive thru at 7mph :/
The next 20/20 is on the effects of being tired and driving...... spoiler alert. This!
