Re: Vintage picture thread
This is a great thread. I have enjoyed reading all of the responses and checking out the photos. I can almost imagine what it was like to be there at that time!

Re: Vintage picture thread
Here's a '67 I had back when I was a kid working the rigs. Musta been about 78 or 79 or so. Those days are a little hazy now.

The guy standing on the hood of the derby car is the same guy in the rig picture-me and Jeff been bros for 40 years now.:metal: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55/gpritch/demo87.jpg High School buddy-Clark had a 65 or 66 Galaxy convertable http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55...onvertable.jpg One day, Jeff tried to pull Clark's Hi-boy Ford out of the mud with his Jeep. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55/gpritch/ruts.jpg He got it out, but the Jeep suffered. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55/gpritch/bumper.jpg Dang good times.

Still yet ANOTHER load of new Chevy trucks being delivered by a GMC "crackerbox" tractor ( probably has the 230HP V6 Detroit Diesel )
Yenko Chevrolet in 1968. . . . two other dealerships in 1969 or 70. . . . and another shot of the "truck center" at Yenko Chevrolet in Cannonsburg PA. .................................................. |

Re: Vintage picture thread
Since we are looking at Car Haulers, here's a few -
http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/...tellhauler.jpg http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/...ellhauler2.jpg You'll notice these two haulers are owned by the "FJ Boutell Company" - significant to me since I had not one but two uncles who drove for Boutell. In fact, one of my uncles is the gentleman that loaned Mr Boutell the money to start his company. Ever hear an urban legend about a truck driver that ripped the top off a Buick showcar via a freeway overpass; the car being saved and subsequently turned into a convertible? That would be my Uncle Joe. Fortunately, his relationship with Mr Boutell (and their earlier financial transaction) probably saved his job that day. http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/...s/image013.jpg K |

I posted these pics over in the payload thread but I guess they qualify as vintage as well. This is my grandfather's 1970 C20 bringing in a load of hay during the winter of 1976.
My grandfather and this truck are the reason I'm a Chevy man today and why I bought my truck a little over a year ago. He was a great man, and I have many wonderful memories of going fishing in this truck and flying down the interstate at 60 mph with about 6 of my cousins in the back fighting over who got to sit on the wheel tubs. This truck worked hard as a Minnesota farm truck its whole life and rotted away to nothing years ago, but I think of my grandfather every time I get in to my little C10. |

Re: Vintage picture thread
My first Chevy truck. Photo taken as I arrived home after buying it from a farmer for $150. Circa 1980, I was about 18. The smile says it all. 1956 C20 long step, 283 and a 4 speed. The farmer told me he had bought it new, and had never washed it. The years of oxidation had protected the paint, and that dark forest green shone like new after a few hours with some compound and a buffer.
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k37/wilbilt/001.jpg Of all the vehicles I have owned, this is the one I most regret selling. 1967 Chevelle SS396 with a Muncie M21 and a 12-bolt posi rear. Photo circa 1982, taken on Peppertree Lane in Simi Valley, CA. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k37/wilbilt/006.jpg |
Re: Vintage picture thread
My dad and brother were the ones who got me into these trucks. Here is a couple of pics of a few.
Dad teaching me how to wash a truck. http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/scan0013.jpg My twin sister and I in front of my brothers 70 http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/scan0019.jpg http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/scan0017.jpg |

Re: Vintage picture thread
As you can see in the pics the 70 was for sale back then. So it was gone after we used it as a work horse. My dad owned the 67 from 84/85 to 2000/2001 he replace the inline 6 once during that time. Sold it to a graveyard and says they are still using it:metal:.Said it was the best dump he's ever owned. By some of the other pics we have I can see why. He loaded that thing up like that all the time. Gotta love:chevy:
