My`92 is in the shop and they give me this 20 year older thing to drive:

Not only is it old and hard to get in,it`s a darn stick shift:

cstm68 · 12-17-2009, 10:40 PM

id keep it !!

BADPURPLE70CHEVY · 12-17-2009, 10:42 PM

I would not complain.....lol

sdailey · 12-17-2009, 10:45 PM

Tim,

Isn't this one of your trucks already? Maybe I'm confused, but I could swear that I've seen that one before...possibly in your yard.

Pont406 · 12-17-2009, 10:48 PM

Do they have anymore loaners like that? I think my daily driver starting to act up.

**special-K** · 12-17-2009, 11:08 PM

^

Yeah Shannon,it "was" mine,but I sold it to a friend.It was hard to do.But,he`s taking real good care of it.His dad has a nice shop with a lift and my`92 transmission (NV4500) and transfer case need to come out to fix the clutch arm.It wore out with only 265,000 on it....P.O.S!

He lives about an hour away,so I drove the old girl home.

Whine, *****, piss"n"moan, I'll call them for you and tell 'em to give you their old Fooord instead...

nickp51chevy · 12-17-2009, 11:27 PM

It must be rough having to drive around an old clunker like that

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-17-2009, 11:32 PM

I think I should come switch you loaners.

Nice truck for sure. I'm digging the 4 speed tilt too! I also just noticed the 8 400 badges......... SBC or BBC since they never had BB's in them from the factory................?

**special-K** · 12-17-2009, 11:41 PM

It`s a 400 SBC they never had.It drives real nice.

aggieguy713 · 12-17-2009, 11:48 PM

Tell them youll take an even trade

jeffspower · 12-18-2009, 12:20 AM

That's got to be weird driving your truck... that isn't yours anymore.

Have them clean up & look over the bellhousing for cracks while it is out- I've seen far more with cracks than without on the '86 & up hydraulic setup.

**special-K** · 12-18-2009, 12:29 AM

I know it`s all cracked up at the back of where the slave cylinder plunger pushes the clutch arm.And,it is weird driving the`72.It`s exciting and I feel lucky,though.

**leddzepp** · 12-18-2009, 12:29 AM

Tell them they can have the 92, and just keep the 72

my67chevytruck · 12-18-2009, 12:47 AM

just keep it Tim! dont you want to sell the swb blue k10 as well?

**special-K** · 12-18-2009, 12:57 AM

I want it all!!! I`m due for a new one in`12.It`s getting hard to get 20 years out of them anymore.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-18-2009, 04:10 PM

Yes it definitely is. But then again, it is hard to justify spending $28k on up for a pick up. It really needs to be able to pay for its self over about 4-5 years without beeing worn out to make it work. And that doesn't happen very often.

**72 Super** · 12-18-2009, 10:38 PM

That is still a good looking truck Tim! That is my kind of loaner. Must seemed a little weird driving it again?

unclewatts · 12-19-2009, 12:29 AM

Tell 'em to keep the 92. That way you don't have to live with a plastic radiator, intake manifold and so much smog junk you can't see the motor.

**special-K** · 12-19-2009, 11:41 AM

^

^ Problem is,it`s a diesel with no smog and a big old 4-core brass & copper radiator.I can`t knock a truck I started off ordering in`92 and am still working out of it today.I`d rather only have the`72 and earlier stuff,though.

Now we`re having a blizzard.It`s all I have to drive.My`72 GMC needs tires too bad.It doesn`t look like much will get done on the`92 this weekend.

Man,what a difference a few days can make.Here`s a picture from this morning:

**special-K** · 12-19-2009, 09:04 PM

Man,what a difference a few hours can make:

**Boog** · 12-20-2009, 12:18 AM

Tim is it just a coincidence that you just happen to have your old 4wd in time for this DUMPING of the white stuff or what? You've been paying attention to the weather channel I'd say.

Good timing.

**special-K** · 12-20-2009, 11:00 AM

It was perfect timing.I couldn`t resist.No salt spread on my road...

No plow on Black Ankle Road at all (off of my rd)...

**Boog** · 12-20-2009, 11:19 AM

Good time playing in the snow. Ya'll really got some. Only a very small chance of us getting any for Christmas.

**special-K** · 12-20-2009, 11:34 AM

Ours will stay around.It`s not getting warm next week and maybe snow or a mix by Christmas.We got 22".The news said it`s a 13% chance of a white Christmas here and this will be one.It`s been a while.
