I just got this out of the garage on tuesday 12-14 after about 9 months. I did the cab last fall but then the bed looked so bad I redid it also. The truck has a 350,sm465,159"wb the bed is a 8'x12' treated wood floor(2x6t&g), 9 ton hoist, pto driven pump, it weighs 7000lbs! Believe it or not it gets about 15mpg on the hiway! I love just cruising around in it.

7gmc2 · 12-19-2004, 05:41 PM

man 687980chevy, it is real hard to belive that that thing is getting ready to be 25 yrs old! it looks great! hard to call it an antique?!

687980chevy · 12-20-2004, 01:44 AM

Yeh it's even harder to think how old I'm getting!

Is it normal for the dual whels to fit under the bed or is this some sort of alteration?

**JIMs70GMC** · 12-20-2004, 07:18 AM

Question for everybody since were talking 1 tons, can anybody ID the truck in Meet the Parents, that the x-boyfriend delivered the altar in and through sewage all over everybody? I believe it's a 1.5 ton but not sure.

Kevin, these trucks prior to 73 didn't have wide dually rear ends. The earlier trucks actually had a narrower rear end so the dual wheels still stayed narrow. In 73, the rearends got wider under the duallys and the trucks grew "hips" on the bed because of it.

Also, there was never a true dually with a bed made prior to 73 either. All the earlier dually trucks were cab and chassis, which means they came with no bed.

mrwilmoth · 12-29-2004, 04:05 AM

heres a picture of my favorite model

7gmc2 · 01-02-2005, 11:14 PM

well mrwilmoth under "normal" circumstances i would say that your picture would not count, but seeing as how the truck in question is hauling about 9 or so "BARRELS" of jack daniels that might be enought reason to convince everyone here

cool pic!

**Joesjunk** · 01-03-2005, 02:07 AM

Here is a pic of 3 of the 4 1 ton duallys I have. My 72 is stored at a friends house. I see my Black one has already been posted here

687980chevy · 01-03-2005, 03:05 PM

Joesjunk:

Nice herd of tons! They are pretty cool trucks.

What engine&trans. do they all have?

**gregfull** · 01-03-2005, 03:57 PM

Yea joesjunk, I really like your black one ton that I posted for you. I could drive that daily, if you put that Duramax running gear in it.

7gmc2 · 01-03-2005, 08:45 PM

all i have to say is how can you beat that team of tons?! joesjunk your name is a real fakeout for the trucks you have! it may be your's ( joe ) but junk it aint! they are all great

The Black '68 has a 400small block/400 turbo, the '71 has a 402BB/4speed, and the '70 has a 292/4speed. What a variety!!!

Wouldn't that make a great truck with the Duramax!!!! I don't think I will be taking my 2003 truck apart anytime soon though

7gmc2 · 01-18-2005, 11:32 PM

joesjunkwhen are you going to post that 72 that is hiding at your friends house? better yet do a group shot of all 4 together!.........that would look nice

Well, This is the only pic I can find of the 72. This is not a good pic. I know I have a better one, but I can't find it. It is a factory Cheyenne/30. It is a little rough, but runs and drives. Check out the option on this thing!! My friend has a 1934 Ford body in it right now and is storing it at his place.

Tx Firefighter · 01-19-2005, 07:27 AM

So judging from the option sheet, the rear shock absorbers were an option?

Neither of my two duallys, a 68 and a 72, has rear shock absorbers or any sign of them ever being there.
