Interesting.....

You know it's coming.  I was reading something all federal vehicles are going to be electric by a certain date.  

I think it was 2008 to 2010 the company I was with was designing all these natural gas pumps to be installed gas stations and truck stops then it kinda dropped off

Sad wings of destiny, right there!  

Seems we're all just victims of changes!

The biggest thing I am afraid of is when they decide ban the carburetor, repair kits, spark plugs etc.. or they get taxed at a bazillion dollar rate

Now back on topic, I dug out picture of the 84 I had for a short time @Zeek 

That's one I really wished I still had

Always loved those style of rims. I had a super nice black 1990 F-350 XLT Lariat single rear wheel 4X4 with a 460 and those wheels. I have to find pictures. Favorite truck I’ve ever had.

“turbine” wheels were really popular especially on trucks in the 80’s and 90’s.  On the vintage trucks thread, a couple of pages in, I have a picture of my ‘76 K5 blazer with turbines!  They are super cool and I hear that they are pretty desirable now—even collectible. @jabelman that is a sweet Blue Oval👍🏻

That was a fun truck, had a carbed 302 out of mustang in it, 4speed, full dual exhaust headers and cherry bombs.  Only had it for a about year.  Unfortunately working 40hrs and going to college full time it wasn't the most efficient vehicle at the time

I think I may know where a set/pair of those wheels are very nearby .

That's a pretty truck! I had those same wheels on mine for a while!

Usually during a normal Winter I don't get the chance to hand wash and wax the truck in the driveway and go to the do it yourself car wash because of the cap, racks and pipe box cannot use the drive through. The weather today was welcomed and took advantage to clean up the 2013 Chevy 2500 HD. Snow piles still showing their presence.

Nice camper 🤠

To bad everyone that sells them used thinks they are worth 2 times what they are worth. Looking forward to putting it to use this year in the Moosehead Lake Region. Thanks for the comment @ebinmaine

Of I had a truck I'd toss the BBT in it and head down

You sorta do, just don't have your name on the title, just your butt print in the seat .

There is an RV dealer close by that sells new small travel trailers called  Riverside retros, they look similar to the old Winnie look. @WVHillbilly520H

I think there’s a pair of turbine wheels up high in this picture... I’ve been having the urge to unrack that thing lately... maybe put a good engine in it!

@pullstart  Kevin, I THINK, you're going to need more racks, or a nice big addition by the looks of that picture.

I actually have put more up since then!  

[rjg854 11,361]

BUT, you'll still probably need the addition.

Decided to replace the seat covers on the 2013 Chevy 2500 HD that I installed when I bought the truck new. Being a work truck I try to keep after it as much possible. Vacuumed the carpet and seats and installed the new covers. Didn't take pics with covers on. Still looks decent with 128,000 miles. Hope to run this one until it doesn't. Been a good truck.
