A couple of my old 74 @ work shuffling some 'board projects' around town....

TFANTIN · 02-28-2011, 12:40 AM

Here is our old 74! Not much of a body but the original paint still shines! We saved this truck from the junk yard 15 years ago. It was on it way and we stopped the tow truck. Put a set of points in it and it fired right up! Sold it last fall to a church group. I guess they are using it as a grounds truck.

DOnt have the blue one anymore, but I still got my white one.

Sweet Trucks Guys!!

Yep, I agree with you on "Sailed's" truck.
I'm thinking of doing the same with my 86 M1008 CUCV.

Here are a few more pics of me working my 1977 truck. Pic #1 shows a commonality among my friends and what they were driving 33+ years ago.
My Colonial yellow K30 nestled in there with my army poncho draped over the front mounted spare.

Now that is a hell of a set-up! You should tell the story of your build sometime.

Dooley · 03-12-2011, 02:04 AM

My last post in this thread showed my 1977 at work. I found a couple more pics of my 79 earning it's keep.
