Yeah, I agree, These trucks look so different when they were in there prime, unfortunately, very few of these GMC 3/4 tons ever get restored to factory specs.

This is my mom with her dads truck. I’m guessing around 1967 or so I know he didn’t buy it new. This is the one that started it for me. When my grandpa died my dad got it and had it until around 82 or 83 maybe. I remember when he traded it in and kept track of it for a little while but it eventually disappeared, wasn’t much I could do as a 12 or 13 year old anyway. Second pic is me in the bed around ‘74 or ‘75, looks like I’m about 3 or 4.

Nice!
I love old family photos.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Love the pics. Thanks for sharing!:chevy:

um... isn't this THEE grassy knoll? Looks fake-ish somehow. That Hertz sign is too big, no?

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Yes it is.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

The Chev truck is at about the middle of the shots fired - the shots came from the far right window of the 6th floor (it has 7) of the shaded face of the building under the Hertz sign (that's the texas school book depository, so, kinda below and right of the "S" in "Chevrolets").

It's now called the "6th Floor Museum." Was there not too long ago, was a little eerie, but pretty interesting. Hertz sign is gone now, but it was there in the 60's.

not to stray too far from intended subject or dwell on the macabre tragedy there, I do remember reading about the building some years ago and was able to pull these two articles up with pictures..

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Looks like two stout machines!

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

That's what I told her. Both are built machines!

I've got a bunch more I need to post. Just have to take time to upload them!

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Great pics! Do you have any more info or photos on Bills dark turquoise ‘66?

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I love these kind of threads, I just went all the way through it. One thing I really like is that there are hardly any off topic pictures posted ... "While having nothing to do with the subject matter, this is a nostalgic picture" haha! And of course when one picture of Jungle Pam gets posted expect a ton more ... tsk tsk boys heh.

This is a nostalgic picture thread in the main area of the 60-66 area and those are years truck Ill be looking for. Even the where is Waldo style pics as someone mentioned lol. Thanks for all that have taken the time to post, very cool stuff!!!

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Look at how rusty this already is. I wonder what part of the country this was taken in. From the looks of the gas station I would think this was 1970s, early 80's at the most recent, and that fender is just gone.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I was thinking the same thing and look at that tail pipe.
