Chevy's in the wild

A few spotted while out today

This 80’s era Super Sport is awaiting a BBC installation - glad to see a traditional Chevy motor instead of the LS treatment.

Nice 89~91 K5 - bonus points for having early K-20 Square axles with a big-hub D44 up front ( WARN hubs instead of Spicers but we won’t hold that against him ).

Are Warn hubs inferior to Spicers?

Are Warn hubs inferior to Spicers?

In my opinion yes

 

[tarussell]

Are Warn hubs inferior to Spicers?

The Warns are a lot more user friendly as far as getting them to unlock as compared to the Spicers - the dial on the Warns will turn even though the hub is still engaged ( as soon as the tension is released internally the spring pushes the drive out of the way and free wheeling mode is set ) but the dial on the Spicers won’t move unless the drive has no pressure on it.
This is aggravated even more so with a L/S or locker up front.

All that being said the components of the Spicers BY FAR out weigh the pot-metal that the Warns use - the Spicer hubs are very strong!
Just to be fair though if the dial is forced on the Spicers it and the pin on the back side can break but that’s due to human error.

The Spicers are just STOUT - and besides, they look so damn cool too.

Saw this one yesterday. 262,000 miles. Original owner.

At work yesterday. First time I’ve seen it. I guess it’s a ‘73

Yep. 73 is the only year with a metal rear bumper and plastic front.

That wagon is SWEET!.
We're hoping we can get the Cutlass traded of on a very similar version of patina wagon after it's done.

Big 10 survivor big block 12k Trailering Special. Factory cap on bed.

 

[76zimmer]

Wow
I almost bought a used 78 454 truck, but bought a new 85 C20 instead.

Long bed across the intersection

Went to Culver's for a late lunch. Think an employee drives this one
