Here's a photo of a jobsite my father did back in 1999. Repairing a grain bin that suffered storm damage included in the photo was a 1988 C3500 Cheyenne municipal yellow with saddle interior and a Knaphide bed, a 1966 Chevrolet Series 70 with a 401 GMC big block v6 and a Midwest TelElect digger derrick body on it (nicknamed Oscar) a 1973 P&H T-300 30 ton crane and, my fathers personal ride back then a 1980 Chevrolet Silverado 20 4x4

That's a cool image w/some serious multi year truck hardware right there!

No, the H and J series trucks the 70, 80 and, 90 later the Chevrolet Bruin and, the GMC Brigadier used the same cabs from 1966 to 1989 when they stopped being built by Volvo as WhiteGMCs.

Cool picture. GM truck action!

Yep, that cab preceded the '67 CK cab with it's debut in '66. Kind of odd, eh? They were the shape of things to come

I called on the '95 C3500 dump w/plow... Gone!

Saw this one searching. Looks decent, I like the buckets. I had those in my '92 K3500. Very comfortable. Those goofy pickup racks would come off day-1. I'd make up a nice looking set, or just a headache rack with removeable hoop

Well, that's something new to learn! I guess it would be sort of hard to figure out without owning or being around one. I had a 1965 C/50 and a 1958 whatever it was called equivalent to a C/60.

Dang! The young guy next door needs that one. If it was around here I might buy it for him and let him pay me back. He's doing contracting and odd jobs with an old Toyota with two crossover boxes and dragging around a stupid little trailer with something like 6" wheels

Here's a rare picture of my truck without the trailer. Instead it has 1280 pounds of concrete in the bed. I think I can fit more.

Does this count ??? My firewood cutting and fence building and trash hauling pickup:

NO! You have no business even looking at this thread. You are retired!

Kidding here, of course. If it works it fits. I can't wait to retire so I can go to work for myself fulltime. But for now I am looking to buy a truck perfectly suited for a hard working young man like your neighbor. It's funny. I'll be at Lowe's loading up materials for a job and a considerate younger person will come running over "Let me help you with that" or maybe even say "You don't have anyone to help you?"

I don't always let them know this is the easy part. Next is hump it around the house and up the hill then build the thing
