Bull Of The Woods
 | | 1978 CHEVY 1 TON DUALLY 4X4 4 SP. THIS TRUCK REALLY EARNS ITS KEEP. AND IT HAS ALWAYS HAD A ROUGH WAY TO GO. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 1994 & IT WAS IN PIECES. I NEEDED TO USE IT ASAP. SO I INSTALLED A 350 CID ENGINE THAT I HAD. THE ENGINE HAD BEEN LAYING OUTSIDE ON THE GROUND UNCOVERED FOR 2 YEARS. IT TOOK TWO DAYS WITH PENETRATING OIL & SLEDGE HAMMER TO MAKE ONE REVOLUTION. THEN I CRANKED & STARTER ON THE GROUND. I FINISHED THE INSTALL & PUT MIX MATCH BODY PARTS ON. THE TRUCK RAN WELL BUT SMOKED LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN. I THEN DROVE THE TRUCK FROM MANSFIELD OHIO TO OLIVE HILL KENTUCKY. WHEN I GOT THERE I NEEDED TO MOVE 48 VEHICELS FROM ONE PROPERTY TO THE NEXT BECAUSE I HAD MOVED. THE NEW PLACE WAS AT THE TOP OF A VERY STEEP HILL ON A DIRT ROAD.THE 48 THAT NEEDED MOVED WERE MOSTLY TRUCKS FROM 1/2 TONS TO 1-1/2 TON & LARGE PASSENGER CARS OF THE 60'S - 70'S. I WORKED AT THIS FOR A WEEK BUT ALL VEHICELS WENT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL. THROUGH THE YEARS I HAVE ALWAYS WORKED THIS TRUCK HARD.IT NO LONGER HAS BRAKES & IT STILL SMOKES BUT I STILL USE IT TODAY.
