Another pic from 2007. The old Chevy lost the tranny that year and got replaced with a 05 Silverado duramax (18 mpg as opposed to 10mpg) since I was used to the power of a BB 427 in the old '72. (which was fun to put in to it in 1991) Probably had 200,00 on the 427 and 400,000 on the truck when I lost the trans for the second time.
 

Love the old chevy.  My last rig of the body style was a 72 blazer, I put a 500 Cadillac in it.  I went thru a few trannies also.   :chuckle:
I've hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted.

love that old chevy too, my racer mind asked where is that 427 now? tall-deck truck block?

Hunting partner in wheelchair for a few years, not compatible with RV doors but works well with ramps(At both ends).  Rather large,  but fits a queen bed, 2 tables, campstove, Totes for supplies and food, even a dresser (While I was storing it in there). Used On the colockum 4 years now. 2 vents so we use propane lanterns and we have 3 big buddie heaters.
 This is not a quick move deal, unless I want a huge mess on the floor upon completion.
seen your camp there last 2 years, next season i will swing in and say howdy.
TANNERITE needed for target practice on opening day of each hunting season.

 I've had two 72 Blazers, inherited another from my Dad, a 70 K/20, and That 72 K/20, and I loved every one of them....the big blocker especially.  I still have a '69 C/20 BB396 TH400 that my better halfs father bought in 1969.
 Just a 1969 LS-1 out of an Impala. When the tranny blew, the body was so rusted out and beat up ( I used that rig as a tractor to clear our property) I sold it with the BB in it to attract more$$$$$$. I should have also replaced those slotted mags with the mud terrains also. Buyer wanted rolling chassis for his body.
 I miss the ability of that truck to go much, much farther than the diesel unit simply because I had no real fear of wrecking it! That and the better ground clearance!
