Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

something tells me that trailer may not be coming back

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

:haha:

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

If you're that good I have one in my garage that looks like that. I'll send it to ya:lol::but::lol:

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

I forgot to mention the 5 gallons of mud.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

Agreed.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

I didn't stick around to see...:lol:

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 !!


:lol:

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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!

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

Gah! Don't break the back window with the wood!!!! Neat picture.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

well i tried that tonight.....ill have to Walt till tomorrow to see how it comes out..

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

My LILRD66 likes to tailgate, also.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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?

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

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

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

Nice rigs....My favorite is the 5th wheel....:metal:

...all at one time!

Here is a thread for what actually happened.

:haha:

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

I read the story about your 66, but atleast you got a free lowering kit and fire wood out of the deal!

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

Well my 63 works for its living; couldn't justify keeping it if it didn't.

Hauling firewood seems to be a recurring theme, us Brits like to do this dressed in "traditional" costume.....

....likewise building houses. Had to be careful of low bridges on this trip, luckily it was only a couple of miles!

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...utlater033.jpg

Now these old 305 engines like a drop or two of gas, so for longer trips a reserve tank is essential.....;)

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...chfault002.jpg

.... and since I couldn't figure out a way of fitting a HIAB crane, tipping off dump bags of building sand has to be done the old-fashioned way!

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...ildpics027.jpg

Finally, a nice atmospheric shot; I'd just bought a mixer off e-bay from Cardiff (about 60 miles from me) so we stopped for a burger and a brew on the way back. Could have been taken anywhere in the USA I guess, but it's actually Bridgend in Wales.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

nice truck, you sure do put it to work.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

Thanks buddy. I figure that owning an old truck is kinda like owning a retired cart-horse; it don't do 'em any harm to do a little light work now and then!

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

I love to put my truck to work. Usually it's hauling a few little things to the dump. But today I have to move my engine from my porch to the back yard. Finally ready to fire it up. Then soon it will go into my truck.:smoke:

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

That doesn't look too stable.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

Actually it didnt budge after being straped down. I went around the corner to the store with it. Of course I would'nt have gone much further than that.

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

Show off !!!

;)

Re: Put 'em to work pics !!!
 

Hahaha. Yeah, guess I am. But it's kinda hard to see under the hood. LOL!
