I never understood why everyone creams themselves for these old Chevy trucks but Ford and dodge get no love.
i'd drive the hell out of a clean, slightly lifted with bigger tires Dodge Ramcharger or Plymouth Trailduster. These wheels are too big imo but id drive the heck out of this
No, do you know of one out that way for sale? If so please let me know.
I bought the white 86 in a town called Belgrade, Missouri. A town of 102 residents, with no cell phone reception, from a guy who didnt believe in TV or cell phones, has an old home phone that as he said, "I only go near it once a day, if someone wants to talk to me, they come find me." Very disconnected from the real world, which I cant really blame him and kind of like myself.
I tried to buy it off the guy I mentioned about 2 years ago. It had ~60k miles and all original, but he said he did not want to sell it yet. Almost identical to your truck.
I have owned 3 in my years. Seeing the value of these things now makes me wish I would have kept them.
Here are the ones I have owned thru my years.
This 83 and I had many adventures and a couple motors thru its life too. Solid truck that took me from MT to OR multiple times, all the way to CO and back to MT..LOVED this truck.
Plus chevy has always been the po' boy special. Ford is too damn proud of their stuff, even their parts for old shit they don't make anymore. That's been my experience anyway. Although I would like to do up an older ford truck. Some of them look better than certain chevys if done right.
I want to like Slow99 since people I know say he's a good guy, but just about everything he posts is condescending and passive aggressive.
Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

I hope that's how you bought them, not how you drove them, with the exception of the top one. I do see a theme though, so perhaps you likes them how you likes them...
Ronald Reagan:"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
Homer: "Bart...there's 2 things I know about women. Never give them nicknames like "jumbo" or "boxcar" and always keep receipts...it makes you look like a business man."

I had a truck just like that in high school, except it was black with ttops, and a 5.0, mustang with red interior. Besides those minor differences, it was identical, now that I think of it that might be my truck.

I didn't know about that one, thanks for the heads up. I personally am trying to find a short bed 4x4, 1973-1987. I cannot believe how popular and expensive these trucks are getting. Im hoping to sell this white one soon and take the profit to buy one I can and dont mind modifying a little. Ulitimately I'd like to swap an LS2 or LS3 into one and this white one was just too nice to do that to imo.
There is one on the college station Craigslist. Hell, there is a K10 swb and a k5 blazer in a self storage lot across from our neighborhood. The K10 is a step side with steel rallies and just teases me constantly because I want the wheels for my 87 V10 burban.
