Re: Vintage picture thread
Seeing these old wrecks is really sobering when you think about that very few people used seat belts then. And the state of trauma care was nowhere near as good as today's.
On a different note the first photo in post 1029 appears to have been developed with the negative flipped. The stop sign is on the wrong side and the truck is damage is 180 degrees from the next photo. I wasn’t able to determine how the wreck happened from the photos. Truely sad to see the C10 totaled but the Lemans too. :whine: |

The photo with the deer shows an interesting ball hitch attached to the center of the front bumper. Very useful around trailers and implements, such as boat ramps and farms.
Throwing that deer up on the hood reveals the utilitarian nature of trucks: the owner isn't worried about the shine of his paint. |

The red 72 K10 shorty is my Dad's. The various pics are from the early to mid 70's after he bought it on trips into Mexico.

Post 1048, The truck backed up to the pond with the equipment mounted in the bed looks like a mosquito control vehicle with the fogger at work. Was familiar with those back the day.

Great pictures. Dad got him a winch! I like everything about that truck. Every accessory and all. I miss those tool boxes. They were my favorite. Dad had great taste in everything he did. He was in the know when it came to that truck, a no BS get out there western truck.
I probably showed this one I had a short while while living in AZ. This would have been '80 or '81 |

Here is my 1970 Blazer in May 1976 at the inaugural Caton Community Days event. At that time, it wore a modified Federal Visibar with added beacons.

At the same event, here is the town's 1969 K20 "unit M15" in the parade. I personally sat in this truck in 1993, when it had just over 9000 miles. It was painted slime green at that point. It was then sold off to another small local fire dept., then I lost track of it.

A few 1973 or newer vehicles in that shot, such as a Nova, Ford F series, the Chevelle, and the GM trucks

This is Coleman Brothers Speed Shop, world class. They did all my machine work. You could also run your ideas by Dave or Bill and they'd spend whatever time required to thoroughly discuss, explain, and recommend. They would tell you NOT to buy what you came in for if it meant better performance. Dave could draw up a better diagram upside down than others right side up as he explained. These guys are geniuses. In that front building was House Of Balance and Ladd's Porting Service. some serious winners came out of that piece of property. A lot of Badass street racing on US1 between Baltimore and DC
Anyway, I just noticed the Panel truck so this fits here Quote:
1970cstblazer, cool parade shot of your truck. |

Recently found this 1977 photo of my future father-in-law in serious “repair mode”…all he needed was a couple of sockets and a BF screwdriver:lol:!
Besides his ‘71 Suburban, you can see my best friend’s ‘70 Boss 302 Mustang in the background…boy, those were the days! Woody Attachment 2326303 |

My grandfather along with coworkers in Lexington KY, probably around 1930. He's the one covered in grease on the far left with a coffin nail between his fingers. I remember him working mainly for Dixie McKinley Cadillac, eventually becoming service manager later in his life, but this must have been where he get his start.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Nice pic of your grandfather Dave!

Re: Vintage picture thread
Thanks Kirk. I'm going through old pics and stuff of my dad's and finding old pictures like this, so I will have more to post in this thread in the near future.
