I was 20 and bought my first 1ton was a 80 Chevy 350 4sp that belonged to a propane company. It had 456 gears with them little 8.25x16.5 tires on it and the truck had a big utility bed and ran on propane and had 175.000 miles on it when I got it. Within a month I changed it over to gas and added 750x16 and drove it to work every day 47 miles one way and 47 back home. When I sold it it had over 300.000 miles on it and still per-ed like a kitten, Would run 55 mph up a side of a mountain and 55 mph down the other side cause it was wound tight! I kept the oil and filter changed, Then I got it they said the clutch was out, Right! I drove it 45.000 miles before I put a clutch in and just drove it. 5 years after I sold it to this older guy I seen him and asked if he still liked it, He said it was the best truck he ever owned and had put another 50.000 miles on it. He had it painted and had a new seat put in but had not done anything to the engine or clutch, Just oil and filter changes and cap and wires. I sometimes wish I hadn't sold it and kept it, But I was 26 and dumb! You live and learn. Bandit
