To stay with the Chevy theme, dad's father bought this new, traded for a '72 "Chevy" LUV POS before he died.

Hope you enjoyed these. I have many of each vehicle, could milk this topic out for awhile.

I hope you do. They are real great! Your family took quality pictures back in the day. How do you get them converted to such great digital photos.

Thanks! I took those to Walmart, had them put onto a CD. I got a cheap scanner, not impressed with it.

Re: Vintage picture thread

Not sure if this meets the vintage picture thread requirements but here are some still frames taken of a nice 68 shortbed from an MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) video on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfSZVyL_ZyY&t=557s at 1:34. I guess they needed a truck to demonstrate the dangers of working around haul trucks, too bad it was a C10. Looks like the tailgate might still be use-able.

That had me going for a while, an "Inflation fighter special?"
I kept staring at the tires. :lol:

Re: Vintage picture thread

Inflation Fighter package was a special option grouping on a the custom trim level at a special lowered price. The word "Inflation" had become a catch phrase at this time. It's the time when Coke and candy bars stopped being $.10 like they had been forever and penny candy started costing $.2

Staying within the 67-72 topic... Nice!

Re: Vintage picture thread

My Dad's 72 Shorty K10 and my Mom's 69 C20 big block Camper Special. Edison Lake bottom, Pismo Beach top. 1974-75. They were hella cool rigs!!

Re: Vintage picture thread

That bottom picture doesn’t look like Pismo!

Re: Vintage picture thread

The previous owner of my blazer sent me this not to long ago. He said it was around 84. I thought it was cool to see it back in the day.

Re: Vintage picture thread

Lets keep this interesting thread focused on 67-72.

Re: Vintage picture thread

I came across this doing work research this week. That's a "Bechtel" logo on the door. Taken around 1970-71.

x 10 ^^^

While every vintage picture in this thread is a pleasure to view, it is a '67-72 GM Truck vintage picture thread". If this gets people pulling up other great old vehicle pictures that's fantastic. That's how it works on me. Someone should start the same kind of thread in General Discussion so we can all share the "other" pictures

Re: Vintage picture thread

Here are some pictures I found on the net of the cleanup of the 1956 airliner crash in 1976 at the grand canyon. https://www.lostflights.com/Grand-Ca...orld/i-bcBgTjb

Re: Vintage picture thread

This was likely taken by the first owner as he showed it off to his brother-in-law & wife (pictured).
