The 70’s with the engine hanging from the tree, I can only think of the Duke boys, a better time :)

Swapped a few engines using cedar poles strapped together as a tripod. No moving the engine hoist, you moved the vehicle. A lot of the time it was in a field.

From the pop culture article. Love this one! I spy buddy buckets...

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

I was going through some old pictures at work the other day and ran across these. Little Chena River is about 11 miles from Fairbanks and very close to my house. Idaho Creek is about 100 miles from Fairbanks.
My office has been using Suburbans as work trucks for many years. Too bad GM decided to not make a 3/4 ton suburban anymore...:confused:

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Not sure where this is

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Not sure about then, but in the late 90's early 2000's saw that type of parking in New Jersey.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

That's an impressive collection of sheet metal, but I couldn't help wondering what holds that structure up. I see bracing above the Texaco sign, but I see no bracing on the end next to the street.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Just a guess, but I would say New York or perhaps Chicago. I want to see the device or lift to put those cars up there.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Love these contraptions

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

The short direction bracing is next to the building.

Getting back on track. GMC country!

My Dad owned one of these circa 1960...Abilene, TX :)

Mom, Sis and myself on vacation down the California coast, summer of 1969.
My Dads 1967 GMC 3/4Ton 3 OTT. :gmc2:
He bought the canopy from T&F Campers in Duvall, Washington.
He then went to my Uncles wrecking yard and bolted down facing backwards, against the front of the bed, two VW bucket seats. ;)
Then he wired up an intercom between the cab and canopy so we could talk and listen to the AM radio.
I remember how hot and miserable I was in back with my sister, who would constantly go out of her way to drive me crazy! :m6: :lol:

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

I'm guessing that's Canada

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Bump - hope not a duplicate :) 1969 Pace trucks?

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Camaro Pace Car Heaven! The trucks are maybe safety vehicles? I probably shouldn't admit this, but I had a chance to buy a '69 Camaro (Pace Car equipped) for $2400 at the dealership where I worked in '70. Man did I miss a bargain! :waah:

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

When I first met the gal I married in '82 she was a waitress. Another gal she worked with was daily driving a '69 Camaro Pace Car. Just an everyday car to her, obviously nothing expensive. I think she liked the colors.

The '71 Blazer I had in the early '80s. You see the '72 I also had in a coupe pics

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

I dug a little. Looks like the pickups were "Fire Trucks". See this old post: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...00&postcount=1

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Thanks for the info.

As for the Pace Car, I ended up with a '69 RS Camaro sort of similarly equipped; it wasn't a convertible and was orange with a black top. It was $400 less.

Dad and I with my Mom's 69 Camper Special and their first camper. Around 1974.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

That's a great picture you have, for more than one reason.

This is my son who is now 30. We were camping at the beach on Edisto Island, SC

Love the matching camper Tim, great ole pic

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Here is a 66 I built around 35 years ago.
Sold it for big money (5500 bucks) back then.
Probably had more in it.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Nice one. Yep, we used to put more into them than we could ever get out. The "investment factor" was non-existent. We did it because we wanted to.

Thanks Jiggers. I wish I still had it. I was second owner, bought in '88, and the original owner was obviously very meticulous. The graphics on the camper are aqua under the ochre. That's how it was when I bought it, which was from the owner's son after he had passed.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

So it wasn't restored? If that pic was taken in the mid 90's then that truck was looking very good for its age...:chevy:

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Ran across this recently- don’t know anything about the pic

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

All original when I bought it. I put exhaust, wheels & tires, and a stereo in it. We made new curtains because originals were dry rotted, and had new cushions made throughout the camper. When we took it to the North Rim of Grand Canyon the lady who ran the campground even took notice and commented on it being the nicest one she had seen. And it spent it's life in PA! It really was a sweet truck and I miss it. I had it from '88-'04

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

We had a cabover camper growing up! While traveling in Canada and Northern US we used to put our butts up against the upper window and people would flip our parents off!!! My dad just thought it was because we were from California!!!:lol:

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

It's been a while and I photo'd another old print. Not your digital image most are accustomed to these days. This was 40 years ago.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

I have a scanner, but don't know how to get it operating with my laptop. This quality of pictures are the best I can do.

Camping om Assateaque Island National Seashore 40 years ago

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Great pics, simpler times and in some cases, better times. ........ I like the one with the boy up on the rack :)

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

1974 picture of my future Mother-In-Law with their '71 Suburban...with 5 girls, a regular station wagon just wouldn't do!

Attachment 2202995

1976 picture of a dirt bike trip taken to the Lake Elsinore CA campground (same '71 Burb)...future Father-In-Law was very cool to let us borrow it for overnighters (and very trusting of his daughters???). Yes...that is a '70 Boss 302 Mustang hauling a three-rail motorcycle trailer!!!

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Great memories for sure. The kids loved climbing on the racks of my work trucks. I had long walkboards that projects beyond the length of the truck. They loved climbing on those.
Great pictures, vehicle, family, and all.

Here is the one truck with the walkboards. The longest is 24'. I also had a 30 footer. Here's another of the same truck and same Blazer. The kids are having fun with a Heath-kit trike frame I scavenged off a job

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

40 something years ago, I bought an old chevy from a local cropduster company. It was retired and used as a cattle hauler and abandoned a few miles from my childhood home. Its not a 67-72 but it is a chevy. It was my first pickup build. I'm sorry that I don't have an after shot of it, but I painted it light blue and white. I sold it when we got married in 82 and it was still on the road in the late 90s. Havent seen it since. As a side note, the 56 ford beside my Dad's building received a chevy 327/t350 when I put it on the road.
