Re: Haulin: or, why fast trucks are better than muscle cars
I'll take even the slowest truck vs a muscle car lol unless its a race. My truck gets used as a truck all the time and its plenty fast enough. What are you building with the concrete?

Re: Haulin: or, why fast trucks are better than muscle cars
Spent alot of time with one of those mixers and Dad's old 70 C/20 back when I was a kid. Shoveled off 3 ton of sand from the truck once and ran every bit of it through the mixer later. Yea the old truck was squatted but handled it fine! Sure wish we'd taken a pic of that load!

Re: Haulin: or, why fast trucks are better than muscle cars
Owning a muscle-truck is like being married to a good-looking women who can also cut a cord of wood. (Like my wide can =)
It is good at more than just one thing. |

Re: Haulin: or, why fast trucks are better than muscle cars
The mixer is irrelevant, it's the 1000 lbs of concrete that do the trick. Only way I can keep the wheels from roasting.
I'm helping my little brother rebuild his 200 year old barn. We poured some foundation Sunday. |

Re: Haulin: or, why fast trucks are better than muscle cars
Yea, nice rides! Big El Camino fan!
My truck has the original 327 block built over to a 350. Built up a bit, aimed at low end power. I have a 5 speed Getrag as well. |

Speaking of money spent, left to right I paid $1150, $1200, and $650. Street Smart - I love the Monte. I owned a 1971 that I paid $200 for in complete working condition. Including working AC. It was what we refer to up here in the rust belt as a 'winter beater'. Rusted bad but ran great. With a pair of snow tires it went everywhere I asked it to go. I ran it every winter through college and even loaned it to a little brother one summer. It lives on in various places like the disk brakes in the yellow one and the block I made into a 383 which resides in the truck. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Haulin: or, why fast trucks are better than muscle cars
Best part about having a truck that hauls ass is when you have a load of firewood in the back and can still beat some snotnose punk in a rice burner off the line and whip him light to light.
