I ran across an old picture... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I ran across an old picture of my truck. It was taken in 1982 or 1983 not too long after I bought it (paid $500). It has 2 motorcycles, 2 ATC's and misc. camping gear in the back. Then, fast forward 29 or 30 years. I think it's camping days are long gone.

Wow what a difference years and hard work makes. Oh and lots of money spent. Looks great.

That's impressive what happens over 30 or so years

Those things have been long gone for quite awhile. I still have the rims but they have BFG all terrain's on 'em now.

No Scott, no 502 in '83...old greasy 307 2bbl w/th350. It got a $50 Ecology Center 350 2bbl a few years later. Around '94 it got a +.030 427 bb w/th400 make over.
Did you get your truck back yet?

pat 70/71 · 09-13-2012, 09:24 PM

Its funny how things change over the years. Your truck has for sure changed for the better. I have always wanted to take my truck to the track (motocross)with my bike in the back like I did years ago (fully restored now) but I'm afraid someone will run into it! Nice ride my friend. Cheers,Pat

Amazing! I love those ol' Honda ATC's!

VDOG · 09-14-2012, 01:17 AM

That stance is wickedly sick for a longbed. Im not an airbag fan, so a static drop that looks this good will work.
What is your drop now?
