This picture was taken somewhere in southern California in early 1973.
I bought that truck new, here in Arkansas. I sold the truck in 1976, but the little cutie is still hanging with me and letting me buy 67 72 trucks. |
Re: Vintage picture thread
That is a cool pic too. USA 1 on the plate and all.

From around 1990. My dad's 71 still had the original rockers. My dad wasn't a car show kind of guy, but my mother was, and she won a trophy at every show she entered.
BTW, he sold this truck in 1995 for $8,250. I still don't know why I didn't buy it. |

I told the story one time about how vehicles would get lost out there, sometimes to the point that we would re-build a new vehicle with the same content and ship it in place of the original. The lost ones usually turn up at model changeover when production ceases and the repair backlog gets worked down. I think that photo demonstrates how that might happen. Here are the rest of the photos taken during that same shoot: http://www.73-87.com/7387info/Assembly%20Line.htm K |

Through no fault (or planning) of our own we rode a wave of prosperity and growth up through the early 2000's. My theory is that as passenger cars got physically smaller (and less capable/durable) trucks and truck wagons moved in to fill the void. Profitable truck products bankrolled all of GM up until the unpleasantness of 2008. K |

Here I am at 6 with my Grandpa's 1970 GMC and one of our ranch helpers. 44 years later and I just brought the truck home to get her going again. Past and present.

Love the truck and the story nrpolo! I don’t have a vintage pic of my truck but I do have some of its history. I was really lucky to find a bunch of paperwork in my truck. The used car lot I bought it off of didn’t bother to clean it out (or clean it at all for that matter). It was originally ordered by Terminex of San Francisco after it’s duty with them was complete it was sold to a guy who lived on the peninsula. The police report was still in it showing it was stolen and recovered in the early 80s. The ignition is still all bent up from this experience. The owner before me had local resteraunts and used the truck for picking up ingredients at farmers markets and light construction. Not as cool as growing up with it but neat to be able to tie some of the history to it.

Found these on my Grand Father's slides. Most are in Mexico where my Dad, Uncles and Pappy traveled to frequently.....1973-1976. Fairly safe in those days! Dad's truck is a 1972 K10 shorty with a 4 speed. I still have it and will start restoring it soon.
