We see lots of pictures of trucks at car shows, on the cruise, looking pretty, etc. But how many guys use their Sweptline for what it was built to do? Lets see some pictures of these trucks hard at work.

thats alot of trailer for a 318

so how did it tow? are you running 4.11s? my poly flatbed loved to tow with the 4.88s. 65 loaded all day. ran better that way

Mine is a garage queen

Okay, I'll come clean. I don't even have a 5th wheel receiver... I lived in that trailer for a year at my last job, and couldn't resist taking that picture! It was an insanely heavy trailer (complete fiberglass ext., all Oak cabinets, Corian counters, tile in the kit/bath...).

Funny how two of those trucks are beautifully restored, too! I love the pics. Robin, that '65 is a slant six truck too, no?

Here is my most common load:


And other more appropriately sized loads:




I can't seem to find the pic with the full pallet of cement bags, with a mixer in tow. That squatted it quite nicely...

Fixen the windmill

Yankin a `Cuda out of the weeds ina backyard for a buddy

Takin the R/T to the glass shop hopefully the last time it ever goes on a trailer

1& 2 taken last year in the search for a Cristmas tree.
3 was 4th of July after winning best 4x4 at the local show, it won but is far cry from a show truck.

Love that truck Jimmy

I was thinking the same thing about your truck and Bad "A" B body. Drool

Cool pictures guys, thanks for sharing!

This is what I love about old trucks. Bought a 'new' truck last weekend, and 3 days later loaded over 2,000lbs of scrap in the back. Didn't have to worry about how it would handle the load, or about scratching the nice paint.

Great pics everyone keep em coming I love this.

Seems, I only have pictures of dumb stuff I have done. My truck does work everytime I drive it, so I guess only the oddballs get a picture.

this was sketchy, shorty on the trailer, flat towed 4 door behind that, posi, no caster in the front wheels, it pushed me whereever it wanted to, 140 miles at 35, lol, but I did get it home.



Out to PA, picked up these two cars and drove back, didnt sleep the whole trip, did it nonstop, lol. 85mph out, 60 tops back. neither car had a motor.



doin some horse tradin.



here is a bad night at the track with my little brothers car.



me out in california on highway one south of san fran.

Just a pic of the powerwagon pulling my racecar. The slant six sure is slow going. Can't wait to get the cummins in this spring.
