Most are 67 to 72 Chevs and GMCs ranging from 3/4 and 1 ton 4 speeds and 4x4s. A couple of them up to size C80 with the 478 cu. in V6 and 6 speed Spicer with hi/lo rears (whatever that C80 tonnage rating was). Many nice Pickups, Blazers, Flatbeds, Wrecker, Motor Homes, Fire Truck and even an aerial setup with bucket. None perfect - trucks are trucks - but a plenty of fun working with them and going places in old style. Lots of parades for a few years, but done with that. Two rather modern favorites do not meet the 25 year old criterion, but they have been excellent. 2001 Dodge Cummins 4x4 with 6 speed manual and some nice options, and 2003 Silverado 4x4 with Duramax and Allison. They will far outlive me for certain. Nice thread. Thanks. NRA Member - Life, Benefactor, Patron

Had an F 250 and like a fool let someone with more money buy it off me. Keep rolling Brothers, RZ. Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.

I had a long bed in High school and a short in college. I should neve have sold that short one. Nothing better. My birth year also.

Original motor had 180k on it when I bought it. I had to rebuilt it 6 months later and got 100k out of the rebuild (my fault). Replaced that motor with a ZZ4 crate motor and put 60k on that one but the rust got away from me. I sold it to a guy that'd been pestering me for a few years about buying it.

I have a 1981 Dodge which is decent but it is only a half ton. I'm thinking of converting it to fuel injection, since the carburation is crap. I replaced the auto-hubs with Warn manual hubs (now made in China, I won't be buying anything else from Warn). If I could find the same truck in a one ton, it wouldn't be bad. Would still rather have the older Chev though. GD

Orion2000 Campfire Outfitter O Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 12,257 Likes: 14	Originally Posted by T_Inman I already have it. 1991 Dodge Cummins 250. ~165K on it. 5 speed manual. Other than the paint and fluids it is 100% original. Even the belts and brakes. I am technically the 2nd owner, but it has been in my immediate family since being brand new. Never been in any kind of wreck, save a small dent I put into it under the driver’s side door out hunting. I would sell my Great Grandfather’s 2nd year production Model 70 before I would sell this pickup. I also own a 1999 F250 PowerStroke 5 speed manual with 180K, but the Dodge is my baby. Sharp truck. Owned the same with black paint, red interior for several years. Sold it and bought a Taco when I was driving 100 miles per day on secondary roads (what was I thinking?). Current 2006 W2500 rides nicer. But never gets close to the fuel economy that the '91 got...
