How about a quickie roadtrip with me? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know there are a few of you that follow along on my adventures, so here is another one.
Left northern MN on 1-2-19 with a -9 temp heading a little south to find a truck for my wife. (early 2000s chev or gmc) Spent the first night in Lincoln NE with much nicer temps. Day 2 was in the Wichita area with really nice temps and sun. Didn't find a truck for my wife but found some stuff along the way.

Looked at the truck in the last pic with the tow hooks. One was extreme, one was the regular 69-72 hook. It was listed on the spid and a low mileage truck. I think it may have left the factory that way. I have heard of a couple other 72s like this before also.

Enjoy the few pics that I took...

Sorry, I thought I had a few more pics.
Pic 3 is the type of truck I was after.
I guess the tow hook pic isn't the best, looked better on my camera...

So the "truck for my wife" story worked? Nice Haul!

Looks like a productive trip! Curious how you got the beds loaded up?

The shortbed we just stood on end behind the trailer and 2 guys walked it down pretty easy. The longbed was stood on end with a small bob cat and 2 of us just laid it down on the trailer. Pretty easy.

He told his wife if she got them loaded he'd cover the gas for 'her' search for a truck

Nice parts scores! When are you going back after the tow hook truck?

Close, but she wasn't on this trip.

Interesting stuff about the hooks.

**special-K** · 01-08-2019, 01:02 AM

Atypical hooks on that buck.

I found the owner of the truck and it is for sale, but not cheap. Still thinking on it...
