My truck is used exclusively for RV travel yet, I still manage to work full time and put 10,000 vacation miles on it each year.

I bought the truck in Sept 2005.

I was in high school and dating the owners daughter when he bought it new in Aug '72.

It hadn't been driven since 1991 when I bought it.

I installed an intake and carb off a '66 390 GT, a 428 CJ cam, Hedman Hedders and a custom 3" exhaust.

It ran pretty good for an old truck.

Opened a business later on and needed the money for inventory. Sure wish I had kept it.

Regular cabs. The best looking trucks.

This may be the oldest tow vehicle here, i took this on a 300 mile round trip a few years back, the car is a 1954 Packard with a 1960's General trailer,, i did get some odd looks towing this,, as it would still pull at 65mph on the highway which is kinda scary since the car only has one braking system and no trailer brakes..

Never noticed this thread before, but that is a sweet setup. Love the tow mirrors on the fenders!

This is my 2006 Sequoia, it serves as my 'work truck,' and tow vehicle. I've got it on craigslist, trying to find something with a bit more 'umph.'
