Sweet looking cab over Greg!
What year is it?
Your grandpa had a Cheby Kodiac with a Cat in it as I remember when he hauled a load of bees I bought on a sale in Kearney many years back.

Here's mine. 1982 F250 with 32K original miles. The cool thing for beekeeping is the Tommy Gate.

Hey Harry notice we put an extra single under the 3 doubles, our motto is: "Load em up then start negotiating". I'll admit we have had heavier bees though.

Ive got some more pics of your trucks if you want them....I think the truck I liked most was that 3500 chevy...that's a Cowboy Cadillac if I ever saw one. BUT that new dodge was nice.

the cabover is a 1987. had it repainted a couple years ago. yes you are right we had either an 82 or 84 Kodiak. cant remember which year is was. i think it had a CAT 3208 in it. just remember it smoked ALOT lol. i was fairly young when we had that truck. got rid of it about 10 years ago. the truckbed from the kodiak got extended and put on my truck.

That rig is so awesome! Where did you bought this truck? I think this is great for my heavy hauling jobs

Thanks for the complement! I love this old truck. 351w, C6 tranny, dana 60 - its a beast. I just wish it was 4-wheel drive. I bought the truck from a government surplus auction (got the maintenance records). It was faded government white when I bought it. I grit blasted the entire truck to bare metal and primed and painted it myself. I was a lot of work, but something that I always wanted to try. So far it has held up very well. I had someone else spray in the bed liner.
