The Toad's first show - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C/10 King · 05-21-2010, 09:26 PM

Well I'm thinking about taking my 1967 GMC aka the Toad, to it's first show tomorrow in down town Merced Ca.. It's long over due, it hasn't see the streets of Merced since 1993. I wonder if any of the old timers will recognize it.

**70cst** · 05-21-2010, 09:28 PM

I like it!! Best of luck.

**KevsClassics** · 05-21-2010, 09:32 PM

Hopefully it will get kissed by a Princess and turn into a Prince.

Looks great. Nice and weathered but not a beater.
You should change your name to Buddy Bucket king!

nice truck.

69C-10SWB · 06-08-2010, 12:25 PM

Nice truck. Would that be considered a base model c-10? I'm wondering because I have a 69 with similar gauge cluster, just speedo fuel and turn signal/oil pressure and generator light.

No, That's my son's (rattle can Joe) 66' short fleet, it's not uncommon for it to spend the night.

Thanks,You know it's no secret I've owned a lot of these, but I can't remember when was last time I ran in to another one just like this model, About 2 months ago I had the manifold split for dual exhaust and welded up some used 22" glasspacks, and "viola" instant little hot rod truck, If you ever driven a 6 cylinder with a 3 speed and dual pipes you know what I'm talking about.

Atleast you were able to hang on to it over the years. That is a clean body for sure.

No, A good friend of mine found it in a barn, bought it got it running and told me to take it home and pay him later "after I sold it" just six months ago. I paid two weeks later, and decided to keep it.
