Replaced it with a “used” (1100 miles) 2009 Chevy 1 ton 4x4 regular cab long bed singles rear axel. Very nice basic work truck, power windows, locks, ac, cruise, that’s it. Down side, like Ralph said, can’t hardly reach into the bed. Had to make a dolly for my truck camper to be able to put it in the barn, camper won’t fit into the barn while mounted in the truck (did on my old truck).</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Aaron Dickinson<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Mason, Michigan<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:alfg@sasktel.net">Ralph Goff</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Tuesday, November 26, 2019 11:16 PM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:at@lists.antique-tractor.com">at@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [AT] Right to repair</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>On 2019-11-26 9:30 p.m., Cecil Bearden wrote:</p><p class=MsoNormal>><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> IMHO the best pickups GM built were the 73-85 models.
