Whenever i drive mine, which isn't very often, i either have my friends hangin out the windows when i meet em wavin, or tellin me to do burnouts, and the occasional people that stare when i drive by. Then i usually let em hear the pipes on it, cuz i always appreciate that when ppl drive their vehicles instead of putt around in them.

Mine's still pretty rusty, but runs. Get guys asking about it at gas station and parking lots. People look while I'm driving, but there are about five or six 67-72's in our town of 10k, so they aren't that rare around here.

YES...put me in that category of "Amazed it is actually on the road and running!". I really turned heads the last time I had the "67 out driving around the neighborhood without doors, windshield, hood or box! It was running and moving though!

Mine is just back on the road and still very "fresh". Hell I can't walk away from it without turning my head three or four times.

I still haven't gotten used to the way people pull up along side and drive next to you until you look their way... then comes the thumbs up. It's cool but a little skeevy at the same time. They vaporize out of nowhere at the gas station and such and start talking your head off... It’s very flattering... but I'm really going to puke if one more person says "Nice Bronco!"

Mine's the same way, except I need a new front clip too... ;)

I get looks and thumbs pretty often. I took the wife and kids to a car show a few weeks ago and on the way out of the lot my wife heard some old guy say, ' I bet that burb is older than they are.' He was right by five years.

I even had a teen girl at the local 'choke and puke' drive thru window say, ' I love your truck sir'. I still can't believe she called me 'sir', I'm only 30.

To a teenage girl, 30 is old till she turns 30. :lol:

Luv and a few other board members have seen my trucks at the Nats and pics that I have posted on here. I think they thought the trucks were head turners ( or maybe they were just being polite ). Sometimes I forget that I am driving something that is a little out of the ordinary, and I think "what are they looking at?". It's always cool when you watch people's heads swivel when you drive by. When my wife drives the C10 to school, she says she gets a lot of looks in the parking lot full of econo grocery getters. I guess they don't expect to see a girl driving an old fixed up truck. I always tell people to build their trucks the way that they want to, don't fix one up according to someone else's taste. But it sure is nice to know that other people appreciate what you have done.

i get thums up all the tome but the most attention i get is from the police :rolleyes: a teenage kid in a 400 horse truck seems to be a bad combo in a small town :metal: lol :devil: -kyle

My trucks paint is scratched, it has body damage, a bit of rust.....in other words, no where near perfect.



BUT I STILL GET LOOKS!! Thats how AWESOME our trucks are!! :metal: People ask me about it in parking lots quite often. "Thats just a neat ole truck" they usually say.

When i still had my 68 it wasnt a head turner at all in fact it turned my wifes stomach with all of the rust that was on it....LOL

Definitely a head turner.................One of these day's she'll be all one color........... :metal: :metal:

The best thing I've had happen was one day when I was trying to merge onto a busy road. Two guys in a car were coming in my direction. The driver saw my truck, slammed on his brakes, stopping all the traffic behind him, and screamed "The road is yours!" while hanging out of the window. That put a smile on my face for the rest of the day!

:lol: that strange for around here

thnaks for the responce guys and great looking trucks :c2:

I live near Gatlinburg, TN. My dad refers to tourists as being "zombified" when they're here on vacation. It's fun to go up and cruise through a few times to see how many of them actually just stop in their tracks or run to the street to say someting to me. I had a guy one time trying to talk to me about my truck and his wife was trying to drag him up the sidewalk away from me. My wife and I were horse laughing at them. I also like to gun it through the tunnel and hear the pipes roar. Deb gets mad every time. People tend to stop honking after they hear me go through.

I try not to stop at gas stations if I'm in a hurry cause I'll never get to leave on time. I love it when I drive on the interstate in the right lane and somebody slams the brakes at 80 or so to slow down and look and gives a thumbs up.

I could go on with stories like these for hours :blah: but I'll shutup now.

:hmm: WOW! That would make you feel good. Not to sure how it make all those folks behind that guy feel. :lol: :cuss:

my 67 gets lots of waves and compliments but ive only ever been complimented once on my gmc

Not yet but soon. :D

That would turn heads just the way it is now. :metal: I like how you moved the tank to the rear.

I get the thumbs up all the time now that the blazer is lifted.. There just are not many in my little town...

I get a few looks but dont know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

I know it is a good thing when I am in this one. :cool:

yey at the goodguys here in columbus when they cheered me on to do a 30 yard burn out !pulled up to thru the service road and i hear this roar from the crowd -stopped on the wet spot,roasted the tires right off the bat and went thru all three gears pretty quick-smoke everywhere -had to get out of it,rear tires picked up everything that was in the the road after that,pulled over and parked in the hotel lot and this barell shaped guy looked at me like i was an iddiot and said you know you dont have any tailights ,by this time the adrenelen was flowing and i looked at him like so what (didnt say anything)went back to the truck and replaced afuse later.thought i was in city league championship football game again.

Mine only turns head when the motors running :D

I can't go to Home Depot or Lowes or the feed mill without someone drooling over the sound of that old big block doing what it does best (running strong that is).
http://www.dixiesys.com/72_GMC_LWB/coldbigblock.mov <- turn your speakers up :D

I get a few here allso,none like the ol man watching me filler up at the gas station.I put the filler in the rear marker light he kept staring at me and I was wondering what the he#$ he was starring at then he waliked over and asked all about the truck sure makes a guy feel good after all that hard work.

Well I will have to say it is as soon as I get it on the road. Torch Red and 3" Super 40 flowmaster exhaust should turn some heads.

Well, my 68 looked pretty good from a distance, before we redone everything, and I got a lot of comments, but now and we're not even finished yet, just sitting in the driveway, it is a real blast to watch people as they drive by, seems some are going to break their necks looking, might cause and accident in the street LOL !!! Can't wait until we get all side chome, wheels centers, rear bumper etc, so it can drive it more and watch people stare, and I just love those thumbs up and comments from people !!!

I drive a slammed 68 shortwide box thats painted 99 viper red, Running a cammed up 496 bbc, torque thrust II's, 3" exhaust. one piece side glass.cowl induction hood.

The attention the truck garners is unbelievable!! The best happened about a yr ago. Me and my wife were coming back from a run and were travling thru a major city. I was stopped at a light when a chry minivan pulled up beside me. I could here the rug rats screaming from inside my truck!!! I looked over and here was the dad hollering at them. He stops... looks at my truck.... looks back at his screaming pack... turns to me and gives me 2 thumbs up and a look that he wishes he was me!!!!!!

It couldn't get any better than that!!!

This is the kinda thread that makes me just love this site ! About four years ago I bought a C-3500 with a 454 blowing through flowmasters and 2 1/2" pipes that dumped right in front of the rear wheels. So all the sound echoed through the bed. I had so much fun driving through the parking lots and setting off all the car-alarms. Besides the fact that the huge tires and three inch body lift make it look a little bigger than life; people just stop dead in their tracks to get a good look !!! And my girlfriend drives it every chance she gets because she gets so many compliments, (blue-eyed blonde) in a HOT ROD TRUCK !!!

Welll I got mine on the road yesterday. I still need to bolt some of the stainless strips in.

The looks >>> Wen I took it to GM for the front end alignment everyone stoped work and came out to have a look. Kids all thru every town were giving me thumbs UP. I love this.


The best comment I got was from a 35 or so year old mom. " Nice Ride Buddie ! " My girlfriend got kinda jelous. It sure was funny.

I get a lot of glares and nasty comments like "how could you drive such and awful thing?" or "you should be ashamed of yourself!"

I was driving down the road one day just cruising along in my slammed '71 long bed Cheyenne looking straight ahead thinking in my own little world when a got that feeling that someone was staring at me. When I looked beside me there was this Beautiful 50's model Bently riding beside me. I went to give the driver my thumbs-up approval and he beat me to it. I thought that was so cool coming from someone with such a High Class Machine. Everybody loves these trucks. :thumbs:
P.S. Bravedave,
What the hey is wrong with those people ? :cuss:

Man these are some great stories, i didnt expect this :c2:


72MARIO.. Any compleated pics? how do the super 40s sound :cool:

Couple weeks ago while gassing the truck headed out to a local car/truck show guy came over and checked out why I was pumping the gas into the bed of the truck!! Told him I had to as that was where the fuel filler was. :hm: Don't drive it a lot at 11 mpg but it does turn a few heads when I get it out.

Mine turns heads quite a bit..even see Ford guys checking it out....great feeling to see Chevy guys checking it out & giving me thumbs up! :metal:

I think you being with the truck Turns they GUYs Heads also Tree!! :cool:

Sounds alot like mine. :c2:

I'm afraid I'll get my fair share of attention....

That is a nice engine......... :hot: Truck is nice too, I bet it turns lots of heads...


LOL @ 70....maybe I have a little to do with it...but not much I tell ya! :)

You make me turn my head everytime you post a pic Tree! ;)

I am not a ford guy but also when I drive the '31 2-door Ford Sedan I really get the thums up and turn the heads also. The old girl is complety restored. Runs like new. Takes a lot to get use to the brakes and the steering. Of corse-No power. Now this is really driving. Heads turn more when I dirve the '31 than any other car or truck I have. I love blowing the old horn and pulling the cable for the wolf whisel. This car gets the Ford, Mopar and Chevy guys and girls attention. Great gas milage too.
