This is a great thread with so many variations of cool longbox trucks!

First pic is my best friend for the last 31 years, my '72 C2500. I have a hard time calling it an old gal or she. It's been less tempermental than any woman I've ever known (don't tell my wife of 32 years!) Unfortunately a month or so ago it devloped a miss while we were hauling some junk to the dump and discovered a burnt exhaust valve on #6. Still runs ok but I better pull a head. I built that engine in 1986. You would think this stuff would last longer than that.

Second pic- I thought MREIN3 might like this view.

Third is a '71 K20 that I bought in '08 as it was going to the crusher. Runs ok but no time to fix it up much yet. Yes the front clip has been replaced at one time but it is still a very solid old truck.

Keep 'em comin'!!

Later---DAC
