Re: WIW 72 Chevy truck 1 ton

I ran my '70 CST/30 Custom Camper w/TH400 & 4.10s for several years up and down the hiway and everywhere for years. Back then I ran 25-30,000 a year. My work was 30+ miles minimum away and I'd have to run for materials,look at other jobs,hit a couple jobs in different areas in the same day,turn in bills,pick up checks,generally go wherever I had to go,making my total closer to 100 miles on many days. It was a Winnebago in it's first go 'round and I'm sure they went all over the country in it. Some people seem to forget these trucks were perfectly adequate for daily use till we got spoiled by modern conveniences. Overdrive is nice,but not a necessity. That truck sounds like a steal at that price.
