I LOVE my truck! '78 C20. Use it as my "service" truck. Utility bed, carrying WAAAY too much weight for the last 18 years! Getting ready to build and install the second engine I've had to replace. Just throw another engine in, change the rear/trans lube, grease wheel bearings and hit the road! Good to hang with like minded people.

Welcome in from NC. I'm glad that you've not wasted any of that hard earned cash on the ole Square!

LOL. Thanks everyone for the welcome. Man, I love the old square bodies. Great machines.
But.......getting ready to spend some on rebuilding an engine for it. Last one went about 11 years. Dropped an exhaust valve on #8. Broke the block, hole in the piston, beat the head to death and bent the connecting rod. This time I believe a main bearing twisted. still runs, but very sick.
Can't complain. She's been hauling a heavy load since day one. GVW is 6400#. Last time it crossed a scale at 8600#.
