I’m not in the market yet but I’m going to start looking. Jeep and trailer is projected to weigh approximately 6000lbs combined.
I don’t need a dually or a diesel for this weight, a buddy of mine has a 1982 3+3 long box Chevy 1Ton and for the age of the truck it actually rides pretty good for what it is. Mind you, his isn’t stock with a 350 Vortec (1998ish) and a 4l80e transmission but it only gets an honest 13mpg highway because he kept it carbureted.
instead of a payment I am thinking beater truck. If it gets dinged up or stolen I’ll be less pissed off about it. I live in the snow belt but seriously doubt I’ll be driving it in the winter.
2wd in that era of Chev, yay or nay?
4x of that era will easily double the price in my market place not sure about down south
I’d like to pick one up stateside outside of the rust belt... Kentucky, Indiana or somewhere... I could go all the way to Florida but realistically where is the safe cut off zone on the east coast?
