Just picked it up today! 1970 Chevy K10, half ton 4X4, 350 small block, factory air, factory tach, factory tilt wheel & cab light. Needs some work but in damned good shape for a 42 year old truck.

. That is a nice looking rig. The fleet side is nice. Is that an OEM color? I'm not a Chevy guy. It would get destroyed here. I'm looking for a Snow-cat, but this weather has them all bought up.
Look on Craig's List in cities in places like ND,Montana,SD,Utah,etc. Maybe you have a old Navy buddy that lives in one of those places and can get him to check it out and ship it to you?
Good advice pete. I've been looking for over a year. But affordable, decent, used over the snow machines are hard to find. None of my ex-shipmates lives in a snowy place as far as I know. But I have other friends and family that do. Problem is that I want at least seating for four that can get through the trees around here, so that makes the pool smaller. Ever ride in a sno-cat of any sort? They're very kewl.
Yeah,I would imagine it would. I've never even seen one,but since I don't live in snow country I know next to nothing about them. I did hear from a guy in my Old Fart antique car circle about a man in Minot,ND that is supposed to have dozens for sale and is reputed to be a VERY honest guy. He likes to ride them and bought up every one he could get his hands on for years so he could rebuild and play with them. I have been told he is a very motivated seller because he needs the time and money to work on his antique cars. Not to mention the storage space. Mostly the time. He's gotten older just like the rest of us and wants to spend more time on his antique cars. Maybe you could post a "want to buy snowmobiles and parts" ad on the Minot Craigs List or the local paper and either buy what you want,or even buy them all and make a bundle repairing them or selling them for parts in Alaska? He probbly has enough of that stuff to fill a large shipping container,and it might just be worth your while financially to rent a container and ship them to you by rail? Ever ride in a sno-cat of any sort? No. I've only seen them on tv and in movies. I know nothing about them. They're very kewl. I don't doubt it. Pretty much everything that goes fast that you can slide around is fun.
They are "interesting" machines. If you don't know what you are doing you can REALLY get yer tit in a wringer real fast. BUT there is NO better way to travel OVER snow with a load and people. I've ridden in brands that I don't even remember now. Those old ones were real labor intensive. Most tracked rigs are. But when you have juggies and miners and loggers et. al. using them ... well ...

See? It IS possible for us to communicate with each other without screaming our lungs out. It makes life a lot more pleasant for both of us,too.
When you aren't insulting the service, and courage, and sacrifices of the entire US NAVY; the Seventh fleet, DesRon15, my ships, my shipmates, my FAMILY, my STATE and ME. During OUR service IN Vietnam. Or when you aren't calling US or ME; a LIAR, a COWARD and a FRAUD. I can accept that you have serious mental problems, you certainly have had reason to develop them IF what you claim is true. I have absolutely zero interest in making your life more pleasant or otherwise. Frankly pete I have been talking about this particular dance that you seem to so love. Where YOU seem to think that YOU get to say who is and who is not a real vet. It doesn't matter fuck all what YOU "think" or "feel", the US GOOBERMENT/US Department of Defense/US NAVY say fucking otherwise. VSM with three stars, CAR, MUC with two stars, Shellback. Kiss my ASS. This is where the breakdown begins on this thread. It is also kind of off topic.

Why can't you give credit where credit is due? We The People created the thread.
Why can't you give credit where credit is due? We The People created the thread. Ok I saw the pic of the other car and got mixed up after all the deleting stuff off topic. Sorry.
Honestly, the only reason why YOU should be sorry is interfering with the thread itself, unless WTP (or some other thread participant) complained. I enjoy Mad Dog making a fool out of himself. I believe most other posters think the same.
