Translation of hoodprop's post:

I PLAN on it.

Afterall it is a truck (HERESY! Burn him!)

WHY build something I don't intend to use? (Because it's a HOTROD, got it?)

 

I plan to use mine for hauling my boys' go karts around, plus other miscellaneous hauling. Sure beats loading stuff into my 6-inch lifted Super Duty.

 

my freind uses his IHC all the time to haul his latest project or parts victim home , he stayed non v-8 and used a 292 GMC school bus engine for power , and after driving it I was impressed has a boat load of torque to pull what ever he needs to pull . and its souped up too with split manifolds and dual carbs .

 

i would use a truck as a DD

thats something i always had a passion for, seeing vintage iron on the road being dependable

 

Dan:

Ok sorry for the grammer errors. It may be a hot rod but it still has a bed for hauling stuff. I guess hauling chairs and the cooler to local cruise night counts and using.

 

We're cool. I was just bustin yer balls as a joke. Is E&E-read my post just now and it comes off more serious than I meant - sorry.

By all means, use your truck. OPERATIVE word? "Your" truck!

 

No worries Dan I dont offend easy. I thought is was funny. I get a kick out of folks who say You hauling that stuff in that truck. I just smile and and go on about the day.

 

I use my 59 for hauling all the time. I pulled my boat with it this spring, it did it but the old Y block wasn't too happy about it.



It was much happier pulling my teardrop.

 

Great photos.

 

I moved into my first house with a 37 GMC powered by a GMC 302 inline 6.

 

Ya it has hauled many arcade games

Heres mine, getting firewood at 7 in the morning. At local river mouth.

 

I've used mine for everything from rocks to harleys

 

had to work for its living even on the day I bought it home, regret selling it now

 

Mine is my daily transport , often loaded with an engine and trans or similar in the bed .
Runs Lincoln 368 Y block , 4 speed stick. Jag IFS and 9 inch on my own 4 link .

I agree with you and the 47 ford I'm working on will be useable and at the same time look good

 

yes i use my truck for evreything not a beauty but funktional
ken sweden

 

It's my only pickup. Usually just hauling parts.
I have brought home groceries and anything else we buy.
When I know I'm going to be hauling small stuff that I can't get wet or leave unguarded at other stops I bring along a plastic truck box and a cable lock.

 

Parts chaser , bike hauler , bar hopper , mail getter , grocery getter , and transportation . Yes its used .

 

I don't know why tapatalk notified me of this thread seeing that it's years old. Unless it can read my mind. I was eyeing a 1955 Ford F-500. I have a GMC Topkick parts truck with a 636 cu in Cat turbo diesel. It would be a stretch for HAMB friendliness but it would be a very usable old truck with good brakes steering and power.

 

This belongs to a friend of mine who cuts firewood. He's always hauling stuff in it- here he's at a car show I put on a few years ago hauling around a flat motor he re-built.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention, he's 75 years old!!

 

My '65 El Camino that used to go to work every summer.
My '87 Chebbie haulin' tin.
My '59 F-100 ( 400 small block) getting ready to take a load of roof shingles away.

Everybody earns their supper at my house! ( beans and hot dogs, or Sunoco 260)

I use mine, works good to haul music gear to a gig.
Or to haul a Christmas tree home from the lot.

Just the other day I used it to haul 4 bags of water softener salt home from the store. It comes in handy.

 

My forty is used to pickup things from Lowes,recycling,etc.....And goes to el mirage sometimes.

 

IVAN STEWARTS OFF ROAD!!!! Dude I wore that game out at the skating rink when I was a kid. Spinning the steering wheel like a mad man! There was ALWAYS at least 4 kids at once going crazy, good times!

 

It's that time of year again .

 

Yep , used .
