great use of what ya got to haul a car in!  Makes me think twice about needing a trailer when I have the farm truck with a 12’ bed!

@Pullstart, Good to see that your truck gets a regular Cat-Scan. Good maintenance practice. :thumbs2:

@mrc And a Fisher plow I see! Is that a belt driven hydraulic pump? I love that setup, basic as it gets. I’ve had a few of those over the years. Solid front axle, locking hubs, transfer case shifter on the floor. No electronics to go wrong. Flatbed dump too! I really like it! Your truck appears to be in great shape for its age and haven been driven in the salt. When Chevy went to the independent front end, I went to a Ford-F350 so I could have a solid front axle for plowing.

hi c-series don,

       yes, old straight blade speedcaster fisher plow.  the pump is electric over hydraulic (cable operated) from an old international pickup a coworker was junking about 35 years ago.  only thing i've had to do was replace the solenoid and one cable in almost 35 years.  this past summer i had to replace the p/s pump and all the hydro-boost lines on my buddy's K30.  he is 75 years old and cannot do mechanical work anymore.  to get to his p/s pump i had to remove the belt driven snow plow pump.  agreed very simple setup.  i live by the KISS rule.  (keep it simple stupid)    i do not blame you for switching to ford to get a solid axle front end.

      i refurbished my K20 in 2001.  right down to the frame and then built back up.  took my friend and i  4 months.  i bought the K20 brand new a couple months after getting out of the service when i was a young man.  looking back, one of the best investments i ever made.  glad you like it.

 

regards

mike
