Allan: Are there a lot of trucks that vintage still going in Nebraska. On the east coast those trucks have all disappeared from rust. Here in SW Ontario there are a few of them still around, but the guys that have them are keeping them. Years ago I ran IH pickups 57 and a 64. Went to GM in 72 with 3/4 and 350 4 barrel with 4 speed standard. Somewhere between 8 and 12 mpg (cdn gallon) and would pass everything but gas station. 78 GM with same equipment was much better. In fact, I call it the very best pickup I ever owned. I had an 86 same equipment except diesel. By then GM had started to nickel and dime the pickup to death. I didn't like brakes, steering, transmission,etc. Just too many thing about that truck didn't measure up. Mainly it wouldn't handle load as well. In my opinion GM trucks have been a disaster since 1988. I had a 96. My dad used to haul ton of feed home from feed store on back of 59 Chevy Impalla, 8 in trunk and 12 on top of fins. It handled the load better than any post 88 Chevy 1/2 ton I've seen and come close to the 3/4s. I'd hate to put a new Chevy through what they do on adds with 1/2 ton on board.

Are there many of those trucks for sale in NE?
