Backstory,
We had our blizzard last week centered over the Christmas holiday. Something like 18" of snow. Nice drifting and generally pretty nasty.
Crewcab was snowed in pretty good. Got it out of the drift without too much trouble once it was in 4 wheel drive. Shifters aren't finished yet.
Somewhere along the way I tossed some ujoint caps in the front shaft at the tcase. So, rather than just pull the shaft and continue to drive it and tempt fate I switched to the shop truck for short term usage.
The shop truck is a 1982 Chevy k30. 454 under the hood. 0" of lift and we're running 36's on it. Mainly to help with mileage which did help some.
This is one of those trucks that refuses to be put down. It starts on the coldest of days. Always runs the same. Its just down right dependable. If I had to give it a personality, I'd call it the energizer bunny. If I had to drive across the country today, I'd definitely consider using it. This morning it is -15* F. It fired right up and idled on its own in a matter of seconds. Just a damn good old truck.
