a friends pickup truck

[larry@stinescorners]

We just got back from visiting one of my best friends, His son who will be getting his license in April is a fine young man. He has been saving up to buy a truck. He just bought this chevy,it is 3/4 ton 4wd with a straight 6 motor and 4 speed trans,He bought it for 3.100 dollers.It was great to see such a proud young man that I had to post it on the site here.Both the boy and his sister are invovled in 4H, I am proud to know them both, He knows I frequent the tractor site,I am trying to get his father and him to join us,They do have a JD backhoe and several riding garden tractors,and lots of stuff that would interest this site,

Great looking truck!

My sister enjoys looking at your pics, she asked what county in PA you take most of your photos in?

Good to see a kid proud of a truck with a inline 6, not a big block
 

[larry@stinescorners]

most of the pictures come from Lehigh zounty PA,but the truck pictures are from NJ
 

[larry@stinescorners]

I like it !! Drove a LOT of miles in a 3/4 ton chev. with the 292 inline in my oil patch days. It wasn't fast but it always got ya there ! This one sure looks better than the one I drove. Ken

Larry,
Your friend has one really sweet looking pickup there. I miss my old '75 Chevy 3/4 ton 4wd custom deluxe pickup. That was toughest pickup I ever owned. Thanks for sharing the pics. Hope your friends take care of the ol' girl.

If that were mine, it would never see a winter road, the salt will destroy it! I have an 84 k 20 4wd with a small block 400 I put in it! Nice truck, except for the 6 cylinder! Lol, what year is it??

nice to look under the hood and be able to see the ground
 

[larry@stinescorners]

I believe he said it was an 86. You dont care for the straight 6?
 

[larry@stinescorners]

jay in NY doesnt like a straight 6! lol

I would trade my 2007 with all the bells and whistles for that pickup in a heartbeat! We had a 73, a 74, and an 85 with that body style. I still love those more than any modern pickup.

We always had the 350 with a four speed on the floor. It was really marked as a three speed with a low. I haven't seen such a beast since - grandpa always ordered them that way. Never could talk him into air conditioning, either.

That boy is proof that some parents are still doing things right. God bless them and that kiddo.

Nope, I like the 350 or 400 CID, I had alot of fun rebuilding the sb 400, back in 1998! I may be wrong but I dident know they had custome deluxe in 86? Mine is a Scottsdale, and I have a 89 Cheyenne? Spelling!! Lol
 

[larry@stinescorners]

Im not sure,but I think he said it was an 86. The 6 will give the boy plenty of room to see what he is doing while he is working on it ! lol
