Backroad, truck hunting pics

[dirtrider]

Jake, you have some great looking trucks! I think I've seen pics of your orange truck on the registry.

Here are some trucks I've come across while truck hunting, all in Montana.

That brings back some memories

Back in the mid 80's I had a 70' J2000 with a 360 and a 3 speed. 2 3/4" pipe through hooker headers and Thrush turbo mufflers (neighbors hated me ;-) Had a Dana 44f limited slip up front, and a Dana 60 with a locker in the rear. The bed had been replaced with a big stake body.

That truck was next to unstoppable.

I'll dig around when I have time. I have a picture somewhere of me STANDING in front of the bench seat with my hands on the wheel, and my feet on the ground through the big rust hole =-)

Great truck. Wish I still had it... well, until I got the the gas pump anyway...

Ha! Ha!, She's a beauty! Most certainly an '82. I had a long bed, we couldn't get the 360 in CA.
They were about $14,000 new, it's worth every penny...= )

Another view for you Norm,
You want me to load it up and meet you at the border?
LOL

That's a completely stock bed, how much is he asking?
That is one clean truck!!!

The only non-stock items are the bumpers.

[Jake]

Norm,
Is this rear fender stock?

[Jake]

Norm,
Is that rear fender stock? I thought it might be altered somewhat or maybe an after market fender.

[MoparNorm]

WOW!
What a beauty! A very rare Utiline bed to boot!

[Jake]

It always amazes me how I can get distracted from my destination by cool looking trucks sitting in a parking lot.

[MoparNorm]

Cool!
Thanks!

Navy truck

I was in Tillamook OR this last week so I took the opportunity to visit the WWII air museum, they had a few trucks and jeeps on display inside the big hanger.
Thought I would pass on the picture.

Yes, I hear that the last owner of this nice Carryall has done a lot of work on it. Now its good to know that this piece of history stays saved for the rain under that famous bunker-tent. I heard also, that the last owner of that really nice tent has spend a lot of work, sweat and energy to bring them in that strong condition….I would love to see the new dogs playing under the roof of the tent…

Hmmmm

That all looks strangely familiar? Hey Holger, that was real nice of ya to put up Steve's new Carryall until his knee gets better. HA! Steve, be careful with all that ice & stuff with your new knee. ;>)

Later
Ugg

Tent just arrives a new home

I am just want to inform you that my new tent comes today. It has taken a while to understand the basis construction of that tent. It must be constructed by an specialist. But I doesn’t can use actually the tent. Steve from Maine use them at the moment for his new Carryall he has bought from some nice people near Uggville. I hope to get the dogs next time....
