@@chargermaster3716 Yeah, but "base" models are usually only available in single cab configurations. Some companies only offer base models in half tons, so if you need a 3/4 ton or larger, you have to get it with a bunch of luxury crap, because all the rich boy city slickers buy the luxury 3/4 and 1 ton trucks to tow their toys (campers, boats, etc.) on the weekends, and they have become the largest part of the light truck market, so the manufacturers don't care about the working class anymore.

Automakers will build what new vehicle buyers want not what used vehicle buyers want. Don't think for a minute that automakers are pushing fleet - work truck 3/4 and 1 T buyers into a Platinum trim level, base still exists. There are a lot of " options " that are standard these days simply because the cost of making say wind up windows for 5% of the buyers will be more expensive than putting power on everything Cars / trucks last much longer than in days past and get better fuel mileage so be sure to look at cost per mile not just purchase price. Also look at the CPI Calculator to compare past goods prices to current prices. You really don't want a 1975 C30 1 ton dump with manual steering, 4.56 gears, granny 1st 4 speed , 250 inline 6 that gets 5 MPG and has a top speed of 55 MPH all out do you?

@@bobroberts2371 I'm a tech at a Chevy dealership in farm country. Around here farmers like one ton duallies for feeding cows, and they all complain that they can't get a simple, bare bones truck with no added on creature comforts. None of the manufacturers offer that anymore. Yes, base model trucks do exist, but (I can only speak for chevy here) they only offer them in half ton, regular cab, 2wd models. If you want 4wd, or extended cab, or more load capacity, you are forced to get a whole slew of other options that nearly double the cost of the vehicle.

@bobroberts2371 4 жыл бұрын

Live Wire , they must not be looking very hard, I just used the Chevy web site and speced out a base 1 ton, dual wheel 4 WD and it came in at $ 39,000. Below is money conversion using the CPI calculator on the BLS dot gov web site. The only MSRP I could find was for a 1985 truck. Remember, the 2020 truck has auto trans, AC, anti lock brakes, airbags. It will also get way better fuel mileage and cost less to maintain in terms of tune up / oil changes / exhaust changes. ( The old stuff had mild steel exhaust where new stuff has stainless. ) . 1 ton, 4 wd base 2020 39,000 2010 32,800 2000 25,500 1990 19,200 1985 15,900 ( base price in 85 was 11,600, this would be 28,300 today , This would be a no AC / manual trans / small motor ) 1980 11,700 1970 5,700

Comments like this crack me up. As if modern trucks aren’t incredibly engineered… a modern half-ton can tow and haul more than most of the one-tons of this era, and the payload/towing numbers for modern one-tons are insane. I love these older trucks, and their simplicity is very appealing, but to try and claim that no thought or effort goes into making modern pickups is just an exercise in looking back with rose-tinted glasses.

Only the inner wall. It took about 3-4 months for the outer wall to rust thru.

With a side impact collision, yes, it will burn-out.

i like how the automakers now take all the options that nobody wants & make them standard so that you have to buy them, & they can charge you for them anyway.HEY GM, FORD & RAM save your unwanted shit for luxury cars & get back to building reliable trucks.a luxury seat & interior dont mean shit when your constantly waiting for a towtruck to haul you new truck back to be repaired AGAIN!!!

I wonder where that truck is now

@bobroberts2371 4 жыл бұрын

It has likely been recycled. It is likely a pre production mule because the fuel tanks were not painted on production models.

@jamessheets9205 4 жыл бұрын

I believe it stands for cab to axle. As in the measurement from the back of the cab to the centerline of the rear axle. I might be wrong on this so don't take it for the gospel.

We bought a new 3500 in 78, hauled 2000 to 5000 pound dies dies with it, it didn't last very long. The chassis was no where need as heavy duty as our 03 we have now.

Look at the frame why is it only a C channel we can have a steering box mouse in a frame so eventually it will torque and rip right off look at the hood see how it will kink in the middle look at the gas tanks see how they’re mounted on the outside so when you hit them they explode see the metal fender wells see how they rust

Back when trucks were used for work , and they had an 8 foot bed and 16 inch wheels . Now everyone drives a lift kitted grocery getter. Of course today's generation doesn't need a work truck because they don't want to work
