my dad said that too but i just got done looking over some other paper work and found out it has a new jasper engine and transmission installed 4 months ago.

and im not really worried about gas because it's going to be used around town i haul a lot of wood because that is what we heat with in the winter.

You're gonna go broke feeding that thing.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-21-2010, 07:05 PM

Nice buy!

*jake wells* · 06-21-2010, 07:16 PM

Very cool truck.
Ignore the tree huggers and get to burning some dinosaur bones with that bad boy!

RandyP · 06-21-2010, 07:30 PM

See what everyone says when they are ready to move, or need something hauled away... That's when you're everyones best friend and they'll love your truck regardless. I love regular cab dually squares. You can not help but look at it and think TOUGH.

*JCampbell* · 06-21-2010, 07:35 PM

For a young guy w/ no money you're about to get a crash course in one-ton maintenance & restoration expenses. Three things I've learned in my years dealing w/ heavy squares: there ain't nothing light, easy or cheap about working on these rigs.

If I may offer the following *friendly* advice: don't get cute with these trucks. Whatever it is you plan on doing, save the $$$ and do it right...whether it's brakes, tires, shocks or windshield wipers. Take care of that truck and it'll return the favor ten-fold.

...and if you haven't already, invest in a *quality* jack, jack stands and air tools.

BTW, sweet truck. I dig the standard cab duallys.

don't worry i baby my vehicles when im not *working them* i drive like granny and i change my oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles and about once every 3 months i work it over with the grease gun.

my dad told me baby it and it will outlast me.

True story.

*jake wells* · 06-21-2010, 11:10 PM

well my plans are to drive it,work it, and work on the body it has only one bad spot and that is the driver side cab corner.

I know that the fuel millage is killer with the set up

i don't drive trucks like there stolen that is hard on them and im not trying to give them a early death.

The truck is 33 years old im not going to push it things will break if its over worked. this is my saying to if it has bed and it older than 40 im still going to work it.

trucks are made to be worked not to be setting in a garage collecting dust or getting pulled around.

sorry for my random babbling

big10ratrod77 · 06-21-2010, 10:02 PM

im lovin the truck man thats the paint sceme my c-30 had i cant wait till its painted like that again. i think its not a bad truck for the money they will last if ya take care of them love my c-30 its the best handling thing i own and it pulls good fix it up and enjoy it

3r!c84 · 06-21-2010, 10:21 PM

drive it like you stole it. you dont spend all your time and money on it just to baby it like a granyy (:

BigBlocksRule · 06-21-2010, 10:27 PM

The gold stripe in your chrome is a 1-year deal, 1977 only, take care of it.

**old Rusty C10** · 06-21-2010, 10:41 PM

i like that truck best of luck with it!! so what are the plans?

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-22-2010, 03:05 PM

I agree! Trucks are to be worked and I wouldn't be afraid of working that one. That is what it was designed for. Who cares how old it is, if it breaks, fix it. That's part of the game. And the way I look at it, if it breaks, I'm going to fix it better and stronger so it doesn't happen again. I can guarantee I don't spend hours upon hours and weeks into months on a truck build to go out and drive it like my grandmother would.

I build a truck for some serious work and the occasional sled pull or what ever. It is a truck after all. Anyway, enjoy that dually! I guess I never really knew that the gold stripe in the trim was a 77 only thing. I've seen that trim on a lot of non 77 trucks.

KMK454 · 06-22-2010, 04:31 PM

Awesome truck! I'd love to find a 77-78 crew cab dually... I love the old heavy duty trucks.

justpball · 06-22-2010, 04:50 PM

srr · 06-24-2010, 01:27 AM

You did good! For all the improvements that truck has, you got your moneys worth. Go price those tires if you have any doubts.

turner15 · 06-24-2010, 06:45 PM
