Pics from my honeys family slides. One has been posted way back, but found some that went with it. I thought the picture was older and then I found the ones with the Blazer.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Is the pick up pulling the horse trailer a 2wd? it sure looks that way. Im always impressed when I see what used to get done in 2wd - both for car and trucks.

This shot is from 1989.
A friend of mine had this truck for years and loaded it with options. He sold it to my mailman, who drove it for a few years. I gave $1,800 for it, stripped the options, slapped the lacquer paint on it (It was super straight and rust free) and sold it for $3,500. I couldn't get rid of the truck fast enough, cause I didn't like it. Now I feel like an idiot. Yeah, I know, I look like one too. :lol: $1,800 and tow hooks are advertised now for $750. Somebody flip the pic for me. No matter what I tried, the picture flipped when I downloaded it here. |

Nice looking truck, very period for the time of the shot for sure. |
Re: Vintage picture thread
I sold it to a friend of mine, who still complains I screwed him. He has had and still has a bunch of these trucks, and he has experienced "screwed" several times.
He kept this truck about a month. I have often wondered where it went. |

He's not real good at this is he? :lol:
Good thing you didn't. He'd say you screwed him again. |
Re: Vintage picture thread
If I weren't half way across the country, I'd buy one of his trucks just so he could complain about "that California rip-off guy" where I couldn't hear it. :lol:

Here's a picture of mine from 1980 or 81. You'll have to ignore the skinny teenager in front of the truck. The truck looks better after 35 years than he does. :lol:

Yeah sir. 1st pic I've found of them all together. That's the reason it was stretched, has to be 2 years or less since it was stretched. Hardest working 1/2t ever. |

This was my DD from early 81 until 84.
I traded it for central air in our house. |
Re: Vintage picture thread
That was a cool trade for both of you. ;)

Re: Vintage picture thread
Nice '72.
|
Re: Vintage picture thread
I bought that from the original owner.
When he retired in 72 he bought it new, put a fifth wheel hitch in it, and took off seeing the country. When I bought it in the fall of 1980 it had around a 100,000 miles with a new engine, transmission and the rear end whining. It just wasn't enough truck for towing that camper. I gave $1,200 for it, and he told me it had piston slap when the engine was cold and needed to be rebuilt. I put a rear end in it, and drove the blue blazes out of that thing for 4 years with not one problem. My HVAC guy lusted after it so I traded it to him because I had bought another one owner 72 Cheyenne Super. |
Re: Vintage picture thread
It's a tossup for me which of your trucks (past and present) I like better. That second shot of the medium bronze truck is art.
|
Re: Vintage picture thread
I know it looks med bronze, but actually the truck is Ochre.

You guys with all these great old pics make me jealous. This is the only known photo we have of my dads 70 black C20. It was taken in January of 79 the day he traded it in on a 75 1/2 ton 4x4 power wagon. It was the first vehicle l drove (at the age of 8- we lived on a farm) and have liked them ever since. In the summer of 78 (at the age of 12) l remember sitting in it with a JC Whitney catalog thinking that in 4 years I’ll have my license and I could buy this truck and customize it with some of they’re amazing accessories. Fun memories

This big block 71 was my daily driver until 1990. In the mean time I had bought another one owner 72 Cheyenne Super.

Steve and I worked at the GM Milford Proving Ground together. Many of us heard Steve say, on more than one occasion, "...after I'm gone I want you to run my ashes through a Chevy big block, running at 4000 rpm. I want to see what the inside looks like." He even reiterated with one of his buddies: "you're gonna take care of that, right?" So - we did. At the end of the service they fired up his '72 Blazer, which has a 396 in it, and ran it up to 4000 rpm, while pouring some of his ashes down the carb throat. I cried a little. He was a hot rodder to the very end. K |
