Appreciate the heat on this thread. Always love to see new picks of trucks in period.

technically, the other way Medium on top then Dark on bottom, per SPID. At the time I really hated the medium top and wished it to be white, or dark olive.

Hate to see the wrecks. One of them reminds me too much of my '67 SWB Fleetside.

I am astonished by the cherry-picker! Nowadays, you "need" a 2-ton truck with dual rear wheels and stabilizers for that job.

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:

I've always gone by body color first, then accent if there is one. Seeing the picture makes it obvious what I meant, either way. I guess deluxe 2-tone is the other option it didn't get.

Re: Vintage picture thread

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.
