The ratchet strap on the back bucket is no biggie. The problem is the no tie down at all on the front bucket!!
But it's got "HD" on the door, doesn't that stand for "Heavy Duty"??
Even a dually crew cab Silverado is factory limited to 9000kgs (19836lbs) gross, down here. I hate to think what those single rear tyres are carrying, or how much that rear axle housing is bending - or what kind of pressure those 8 wheel studs each side, are under.
With this kind of abuse, often drivetrain problems don't show up until a few years has gone by, and the second owner is the one trying to figure out why the drivetrain components are failing early.
What happened to this big ol' plate that manufacturers used to screw to the firewall??
I have came to a conclusion for out here.... I can never own anything like that or in it's league out here or it will get destroyed. Another thing is it needs to be 4 x 4 as in true 4 x 4, 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 or it's as useless as tits on a nun.I realize this isn't a overload of the day, but.

4x4 that is truly a 2wd when 'locked in' ... lolI have came to a conclusion for out here.... I can never own anything like that or in it's league out here or it will get destroyed. Another thing is it needs to be 4 x 4 as in true 4 x 4, 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 or it's as useless as tits on a nun.
Correct-The miles on this 359 are low, it hasn't had everyone and their drunk brother butchering it.I see why the price is reasonable. It's only got one stack and with a muffler, too. Plus stock visor and single painted air cleaner.
Right next to the 8 track.Where's the USB port?
People will think of a ten ways.Its to far away or I'd own it. A 10 year old 4 x 4 pickup sells for more.
You would need to tire it first, it has been parked since 1998 but started and run regularly.If I had money you'd see me driving that truck on i70 headed east back home with it.
Might need it you could find yourself homeless down the road.Pull that sleeper off, I ain't staying overnight anywhere anyways. And I sure don't need three fuel tanks, there's no where I'm going where I need that much fuel.
