What are you using as your BOV?

Translation?

 

It's for his "Go To Hell" plan 1.0. If he can't get out of town in the Deuce and a half he has a 1980(ish) 3/4 ton Chevy Pickup (GHT2.0 stenciled on the rear bumper).

 

I guess he is good to go to hell in his own way then....

 

Those Rockwell locking diffs add a lot of weight, too!

 

1988 Chevrolet Silverado K1500




In my dreams I would add at least a high top shell with a roof rack. After living in this truck I think I might prefer an older Cherokee or Suburban since they are more enclosed, probably stay a little warmer in the winter.

 

Depending on the need...

 

My 3/4 ton 1895 suburban. It's carbureted, bored and stroked from a 7.4L out to a 8L, high compression, roller cam conversation, be tie aluminum heads, headers, exhaust cutouts. Extensivly modified and tuned for fuel economy during cruise and full power when the gas is mashed. I figure it's not worth a damn if it only gets 8 or 10 mpg on the highway.

 

1895, well that beats my '65 Power Wagon. Blew the 318 so I put in a Cummins turbo diesel and a 5 speed.

 

In 1895 didn't they just call it a covered wagon? Which reminds me of the "Emberverse" book series by S. M. Stirling where the power goes out in a big way (supernatural, anything "high energy" does...not...work) and some Ren Faire folk hit the bricks in a museum covered wagon (think it was a museum piece). Methinks you'd want to be heading out early because you aren't outrunning much in a wagon and anyone who sees you is gonna come running.

 

The suburban is pretty much a modern day steel covered wagon. That's a really good way to think of it.
I'm just glad some one noticed my typo.

 

Landcruiser....



XT 600e



Both...


SV6 if it needs to be quicker or just for the trip from work to home....
