My work truck is a ‘52 Chevy 3600 long bed. I have about $8500 in it for a frame off restoration.
It’s not a show truck, but a driver. I can haul a yard of gravel, building materials, logs, etc.
My heaviest load was around 2500 lbs.
It’s not fast, and there’s a lot of slamming gears.
I get more comments on it than I would driving a new pick-up.
Yeah, at 61 I’m not investing in a new work truck or even a used. I’ll stick with the 02 F350 super duty I have. But you don’t get out of spending money: I want to put a whole new bed on it. The old one has had a 2700lb compressor bolted to it for 17 years and I think it’s time.
