Thank you! However, really need to break out the old slides and see if I have any vintage shots without the camper.

This pic is circa 1983. Original truck I bought from the original owner. I traded it for an HVAC system. Of course at the time, I had a hugger orange and white 72 super that was even nicer.

Sorry. I missed the "current pickup" in the title.

Re: Old pictures of your current pickup
 

i'd love to see more pics of your truck!

Re: Old pictures of your current pickup
 

I'll see if I can dig up more pics. For as long as the truck has been in the family, (my dad bought it in 1980) I don't seem to have that many pictures. It is currently stored in a friend's barn. Hasn't been on the road in years.
Originally 283, powerglide, manual choke, man steering and brakes, cloth seat, side trim, full wheel covers. White front bumper.
Currently 305 HO,700r4, factory a/c conversion, power steering, power brakes, aftermarket cruise control. 90 Silverado seat (new take out) Has genuine GM replacement rockers

Here is vintage picture of my dad’s ’71 C20 taken somewhere around ’85-’87. Dad bought the truck in ’74.

Here is the truck as is currently sits, awaiting restoration.

Add here is a portion of the original side boards that was on the truck when my dad purchased in in 1974. This spring, I found this side board as part of the back wall of the shed behind the truck in the second picture. (at my mom’s house, dad passed away in 1987). I also found the original 307 that I assumed had been scrapped.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Could be me, not sure. I know I spent a lot of time in that tobacco patch. Good to see some paint squirted on the truck. I cant wait to see it finished.

Re: Old pictures of your current pickup
 

Feels good to have it painted. It's only been 12 years since I took it apart! I'm hoping to drive it this year, but we'll see. No sense getting in a hurry now, I guess.

Re: Old pictures of your current pickup
 

The pics with the white bumpers and the truck on the trailer are from 2011 when the truck was put on Craigslist by the original owners son ( he bought the truck from his Dad in 1987 ) who sold it to someone in Minnesota. The ones with the chrome bumpers are from last year after I had them installed.

Re: Old pictures of your current pickup

Re: Old pictures of your current pickup
 

First pic is when i first brought it home in 2011 and the second is last fall. I will have to get a new one now that the suspension is all new once its back on the road. Should only be a couple more days.

Re: Old pictures of your current pickup
 

First pic of truck when my dad painted it after it got a new bed in about 1975 he got in a fender bender not long after it was taken out of the showroom. Second pic is about 2 months ago during restoration.
