Pennsylvania road trip

This weekend, I went backpacking with some of my friends in the Allegheny National Forest in western PA. I love the beautiful scenery, and since I am now a proud owner of my 69, I was on the lookout for any 67-72 trucks, blazers, jimmies, or burbs. I only saw 1! It was sitting in an empty lot, and was only the cab, and the frame, 1/2 ton, 2 wheel drive, LWB. What's up with that? When I drove to southern Ohio about a month ago, I saw literally a couple dozen, some of which were even at used car dealerships! In my tiny hometown of about 3,000 people, there are at least 3 67-72's hiding in backyards and garages. Did some of you board members pick PA clean? lol

You know I haven't seen to many in PA either. All other states I live you see them all the time.

My 67 is still in its winter cave, It was out a few hours last weekend to take a bath but heard that the white fluffy stuff was coming back and requested another week of hibernation.

You should had come this way, I could've had shown you at least 10, all from rust buckets to show material trucks.

Just within 1 mile from where I live there's at least 6 or 7.

Gotta work in my '67 now

I was there this time last year and saw a butt load of them. I think we saw well over 20 between the state line and Philly.

There aren't that many in my section of Pa. anymore. That's why I keep telling everyone to stop parting these trucks out! We need to keep the ones that are around alive. I did my part, I rescued 2.

Your state is next for no trucks. It's only going to get worse...
