3/4 ton status
I stopped in to see some friends of mine over the weekend. Now they mainly own Fords, Jeeps, and Dodges. Well Rick has a pretty built Bronco for crawling and he bought a K5 that he competes with at the mud boggs. So I stopped in to get the schedule for the next bogg and there is a older Chevy pick up sitting there. I was thinking that Rick bought it for spare parts for his K5. Dave, his brother in law who lives there was playing on the go carts with the kids so I was just hanging out with Kris. So once Dave broke the cart 
we put it in the garage and started shooting the bull. Come to find out the Chevy was given to him by his boss. I get to looking at it and see it has half ton badges on the fenders and was told it is a 78. Dave said he was just going to scrap it. I looked at the tailgate which was in decent shape for the year and Dave is like, take it if you want it. Then he said it is a 3/4 ton. I thought that was odd but glanced under it to see a 14ff. Here it had body work and it looks like the fenders were replaced. Get to talking about the th400/203 in it. Dave said I could have it to do a doubler. Score. I already have a round pattern 205 I picked up for $125 a few weeks ago so I guess my winter project is a Doubler. Not a bad day for being pretty unproductive.
