Re: Chevy Tough

Proof that 4x4 isn't the must-have it's cracked up to be. :P

Re: Chevy Tough

That's what I was thinking. Not complaining, that's for sure

Granny 1st, 12" clutch, and a steep rear. Trucks overlapped tractors back then...

Re: Chevy Tough

Both real good video's. Sounds like the truck in the second video had a six banger under the hood. No struggles at all. I use my 70 C30 Longhorn that has a 350, 4 speed and 4.10's too haul firewood. I have had it loaded pretty heavy but nothing too crazy, I don't want anything to fall out and scuff the original paint and I don't want to dent it.. She handles it no problem at all... I think she actually likes the work out!
