A few pics of my first truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LONGHAIR · 04-20-2008, 01:32 AM

For whatever reason my EX dropped off a bag of my old photo albums on my front porch yesterday. I thought they were gone forever, I haven't talked to her in several years. Anyway, my first truck:
'74 C/20
454
4 speed metallic puck clutch
4.56 gears
Dana 44 front w/torsen
14bolt FF rear w/detroit locker

It has 35" Ground Hawgs in these pics but I traded up to some 40" Regul Trailblazers a few months later. It was a loud obnoxious beast...pass anything but a gas station.
I guess I should add that this was about 1983 or 84?

I must say I love the look of that truck

Cool, I must try to find pics of my 1st ('59 Willys)

Cool truck. I can't believe it's not chopped...

No....no misrepresenting. Those are scans of some 25 year old pics.

There are some other vehicles too. I will probably post them in General Discussion though.

Did you notice the wheels? They are 15"s, Americans on the back, but they would not fit the front. They rubbed the calipers. The ones on the front came from a company called "Jackman". They had fully welded individual spokes, not the full circle style like most wheels. I never could find another pair for the back.
