so we went out to get a tree today.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well it is that time of year again. My wife and I loaded up the big red chevy and went out to get a christmas tree. My little guy is four and let me tell you he was stoked. We drove up the mountain in about 6 to 7" of fresh snow. The road was a little treacherous but that is what makes it fun! we got quite a ways out and found a nice blue spruce. We cut it down, dragged it to the truck and loaded her up.

here is the tree

blackscout · 12-14-2008, 02:59 AM

So we were driving back down taking it easy.....when we came upon this....

blackscout · 12-14-2008, 03:02 AM

another

blackscout · 12-14-2008, 03:02 AM

which one? the green one!

blackscout · 12-14-2008, 03:11 AM

I put the old red chevy in four low and drug that new dodge right out that ditch. didn't even have to try. a little farther down the road we came upon a brand new toyota tundra. We both came to a stop and I pulled to the side. he tried to go but he just sat there spinning his wheels. I backed up quite aways and waited for him. Watching as he tried to figure out which button to push to put it in four low (no kidding. It took him at least three minutes to figure it out!) Sorry didn't get any pics of that. At least he will be warm and dry till he runs out of gas. He finally got it moving (barely). He kept going up the mountian! Dumb ass. Big red never let me down. I love my truck! I washed her up when it got back to town.

*project 67 sub* · 12-14-2008, 03:27 AM

Nice!
Take the kiddo and wife out to cut your own family tree... $0
Drag a Dodge owner (who also has a few 67-72 Chevys) out of a ditch... $0
Spray it off to make sure it looks good ... $3
Doing all of this in a bada$$ truck... Priceless

BigDaddyDave · 12-14-2008, 12:11 PM

Your son will remember that day as long as he lives. Nice truck, too!

Shyguy · 12-14-2008, 12:25 PM

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I really enjoy seeing these old trucks being used as trucks.

I saved a few of the pictures to be used on my desktop from time to time.

**Stocker** · 12-14-2008, 12:25 PM

Your son's huge smile says it all!!

thirdstreettito · 12-14-2008, 12:37 PM

Wow! Your son looks so happy! Poor Tundra man. I'll bet the Dodge guys want a Chevy now...

67ChevyRedneck · 12-14-2008, 02:24 PM

Cool pics! Funny stories!

MrBeast · 12-14-2008, 02:30 PM

*sings" Ohhhhh dashing through the snow,
in a five hundred horse Chevrolet
Over Fords we go
Laughing all the way HA HA HA!

Listen to my motor sing,
Tearing through the night
Oh what fun it is to ride and sing,
a wheeling song tonight!

A thank you very much.. Elvis has left the building...

And by the way man, that is an awesome story, great way to spend time with your kid too, he will thank you for it some day. Nice truck too.

72BlckButy · 12-14-2008, 03:42 PM

Sounds like a great day to me, glad to hear that Big Red never let you down.

blackscout · 12-14-2008, 04:09 PM

Thanks for all the kind words. The reason I drive and old chevy and an old international is because they never let me down. when something does go it usually takes about 15 minutes to pin point the problem. Here is another pic like the first....

blackscout · 12-14-2008, 04:13 PM

Do you think he had a good time?

blackscout · 12-14-2008, 04:19 PM

shyguy here is one for you. If you want any higher res for you r desktop I would be more than happy to email them to you.
