In June '14 I had just completed a decent sized job. I was headed home with scaffold loaded up top, bed and trailer full, going up a long grade and at the top it started making a racket. I shut it down and was able to roll up an exit ramp and hook a hard right onto a service road. It was locked up, was pretty sure it was the engine. It was, the crank broke at 335k. I had been through thick and a whole lot of thin in that truck. Looking back, I should have kept it. Things were thin at that time or I would have swapped a motor in there. It had rust in one cab corner (for a while) and in both rockers, but the truck looked decent. I was ready to repair the corner. Between the Reading cap and bed I noticed it was rusting badly on the bed rail. It could have pounded on a while doing nothing, but just wanted it gone and move on. The '95 'burb is cool but nothing like that truck. I need another, hopefully with utility bed...'07-back to whatever. But it will be a year 'rounder, so nothing too precious.
