The "Mutt" is actually a "Mountain Goat" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**PICKMUP** · 12-20-2008, 03:41 PM

Whoa! What is this deep white stuff that won't run off?
I tried driving a 2wd open rear truck...scary!
Then a 2wd with posi...better.
Then I spotted this poor little "Mutt", under the snow, with wrong cab & nose, dead battery, no grill, no bumper, etc, BUT 4wd & a fresh posi...So, I threw it together & hit the road. It has a few more bowties on the front than normal, but boy--it is a "Mountain Goat". It goes anywhere.
Hope I don't bang it up tearing around out there.

Looks like fun. Looks like you don't have a problem finding parts. That's also why i only own 4x4's, 2 to be exact. Can never have enough bowties. That's what makes them classy.

I love the way these old trucks get around in the snow!

Many other trucks tend to hop (bounce up & down) when they lose traction, but my '72 just breaks traction without drama, and usually keeps crawling ahead until it finds better bite.

Must be tough Frank To have all those choices.LOL................My LONGHORN has been doing fine,,, just threw in some extra weight in the back and with my studded tires in back no problem.Maybe next year I'll get some studded tires up front...

Or you could live down here in God's country and not have to worry about that white stuff.
