I'm a big fan of the 73-87 body style Chevy like what I saw in your pic on that other post. I own an 87 myself. Could you share a few more facts and maybe some pics please?

Here is my run around truck. I live in town, own a farm about 7 miles out and commute back and forth. This is a 1983 with the 250 inline 6. Not a real powerhouse, but a real strong running engine thats getting about 18 mpg so I can't complain

A implement dealer still has this original 1976 4x4 with 10,750 miles for sale on his lot.

If this thing sits around much longer I may have to buy it!

I'd buy that '76 4x4 without even thinking twice about it. I always loved those 70's chevy and ford trucks. You could pound them day after day and they sill had style to take you to the dance on saturday night. This one I would restore and make a trailer KING out of it. Just look at it, original hub haps too! Where is it at in KY? I may just have to take a drive with my trailer in tow! I'm drooling.

Hi Andy,

This old gal started life as a two wheel drive "Big 10" in 1978.

Along about 1980 or so, we got a huge blizzard and was snowbound. So, I pulled 'er in the shop, jacked it up and put the suspension, the frame crossmembers and running gear out of a 1975 blazer under it making it a full time 4X4. I had to add the Dodge rear axle blocks to it to make 'er set level.

Dumbest thing I ever did; would have been way easier to have traded it fer a new 4x4.

In '88, I sanded it all down, added air conditioning, the dash and interior out of a 1984 C-10 and repainted the thing after updating the fenders to the newer 84 style too.

1995 was when I jacked 'er up again, overhauled both differentials, changed the transfer case to the aluminum style and added the overdrive transmission. Put in a new Goodwrench 350 with the serpentine setup at that time also.

This is the truck that I used when I was out on the road after I went broke farming. It has close to 600K miles on it now and would still take me anywhere I asked. :>)

Say Allan, did I once hear you say that old chevy of yours had the 6.2L in it? Or am I thinking of someone else? That hitch setup looks like a nice clean job, how long did it take you to install it?
