[Coco]

What’s a cassette tape?

It's how the debil got inside teens heads.

All these farm truck posts made me drag this one out and get it running as I have a few days off work and I cant find the motivation to work on the real projects.


This is about as a legit Farm truck as you can get, 1 previous owner. Department of Agriculture...
Manual steering because the Govt must have save $3 on it new to not get the Fancy options like power steering and gauges...lol
Straight 6 / SM465 / 10 bolt.
Except for severely under powered, seems to drive great once I removed 3lbs of cracked vacuum hoses and hooked the Vac advance back up...
Im guessing it has a 3.08 or 2.73 as the motor will barely pull 4th gear but it seems to cruise at 65 OK once you get the rpm up enough in gear.

Wow, the 67-72s are getting popular on here. We could start our own club.

I'm interested in the Tooele meet 👍

'70 C10. 307/2bbl, TH350, 3.08 rear.

It's in the next few weekends. My neighbor told me his little girl has informed him they would be taking his truck to see the car show. I can find the dates

Must be a different show, asked my cousin when the one he started doing is and he said September 17, he's a welding instructor at Tooele tech, we might have a rod or two out there.

I'll have to ask him which one he was looking at. UMC did cars and coffee once a month during the summer last year but I haven't seen a schedule for this year. My kid works there so if there are dates lined up I can post up for folks that are interested. Sorry for the hijack @Hickey !

Tipper Gore saved me with the "Explicit Language" label. See how well that turned out for me?

Saw this one at a local car show in Los Alamos, NM

Complete with toilet paper! Must be because only old guys own these trucks

What are you saying?

 

[moab_cj5]

What are you saying?

Just saying I know you were trying to "trade" a boat...😉😉😉

If you're accusing me of illegal activity, you better call the cops or pound sand.

Nothing of the kind. Saying there's another boat for you to pick up and trade.

I'd be interested in hearing about this.

 

[TurboMinivan]

Yes, I think I definitely will trade a boat for this.

Not sure how I missed this thread, but wow--that truck looks awesome. Congrats!

I called in sick to work today. I was sick of not playing with this peach.

As I said before, the bed was full of junk when I got it. Today I wanted to get the Flowmasters on but I ran out of time cleaning out the bed.


I scooped up what I could and dumped it in the trash. Then I fired up the shop vac and FILLED it with gunk.
There was an old TH400 bouncing around back there spilling fluid about. That was probably a good thing as it coated the bed with ATF.

 

[Hickey]

Dumped a gallon of degreaser in the bed and pushed around, then headed to the car wash. Of course, I had to dry it off at speed afterward.




This thing is loud as hell, has no plates or temp tag, and the popo just gives me the thumbs up as I cruise main street. Life is good. 😎

She won't even ride in it yet. It makes sounds that are "scary".
