Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
 

Pictures tell the story... How much do you think this haywagon weighs? I know it had this coil spring C10's undivided attention - Pennsylvania ain't flat!

Man that work truck looks better than my project truck! Good to see it still serving its owner.

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>

That's a great collection of pictures.

That isnt a work truck

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
 

True.... it is a beautiful truck, doing some of what it was designed to do. :chevy:

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
 

Very cool....

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>

Great picts of a very nice looking truck...:metal:

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
 

... You guys cheated, you have side rails on the hay rack so the load does not fall apart coming out of the field.;)

I was very content when I was sweating and bailing hay as a kid.

great pictures.

life is good,kent

Some of those shots look like they could have come out of a 72 Brochure from Chevy. Very nice

One fine truck, one fine barn and a beautiful day in the Keystone State.

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
 

I like the one with the guy holding the communication wire up to clear the top bail. :cool:

Straight looking truck, it's like >picture< purfect.

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
 

That is a pretty nice truck. Wish my work truck was half as nice as that one.

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
 

prairewolf is right, side rails is cheating. I bailed a lot of hay and straw over the years, never having sides on the wagons.

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
 

i was expecting a work truck.

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
 

Or a TV commercial.:chevy:

I feel my hay fever kicking in already. We used a '79 Chevy heavy 1/2 ton for our hay hauling truck, with an 18 foot flatbed gooseneck...man we put that thing through its paces. Of course I didn't develop my allergy to the stuff until I didn't have to haul it anymore.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
 

3.73 is the perfect performance/towing gear for a 1/2 ton. an overdrive trans is the only thing needed if you do a lot of highway driving. my 72 burb 3/4 ton has 4.57 gears that will be swapped out for 4.10 and i will be adding an overdrive. that truck is too beautiful to be used in such a manner, and yet it is gratifying to see a nice old truck still doing what GM intended all along. if the engine ever needs replacing....go with a 383....you will get more power for the same gas mileage. i bought my burb for towing trailers as much as gracing the show scene....only way to rationalize a vehicle that isn't an economical ho hum daily driver type.

THANKS A LOT!:cuss: I just shorted out my keyboard drooling over that fabulous 71! As someone has already mentioned, those pics really look like they're out of a Chevy truck sales brochure. I want that truck. I will trade you 100 bucks, a nine year old female cat and a S&W 9MM Automatic for it. OK?

Re: Here's a '71 still working for a living - <lots of pics>
 

was thinking the same thing looking at those pics...especially the 2nd pic

Very nice to see a truck getting used as it should be
...mine does

:metal:

Oh and I do NOT miss those square bales at all
The round baler was a godsend
