Wow.


Um..hey,have you ever considered buying a 3/4 ton.


You know,something else that really helps the ''older'' trucks perform well is their curb weight. My 79 K20 (with complete cast iron drivetrain) was 5,300 lbs empty. Empty being me and about 500 lbs worth of tool box when I was going across the scales at the scrapyard. MY Duramax ( no toolbox) with me in it is 7,200 lbs. You're literally carrying 1 ton of payload nonstop compared to the older trucks just running empty!
