Saw this nice 66 Chevy longbed on Thanksgiving day on Hwy 80 in Rocklin Ca.. I couldn't tell if it had Cal plates or not ( I was driving, on my cell, eating a donut and taking a picture with my digital camera at the same time). Looked like it was in real good condition. Thought I'd share. Post your Truck Spots.

Nice catch . Did you notice the 73-87 trimmed rear bumper I can see this idea getting copied

Looking at the condition of those tires - must be at a high elevation.

jchav62 · 12-01-2009, 12:42 PM

These pics are not so much a "spot", but one day my buddy Greg was following us somewhere in his '65 panel, so I snapped a couple pics...

jchav62 · 12-01-2009, 12:44 PM

This one was spotted this in Seligman, Arizona (Route 66)... advertisement truck...

Tell him he has a nice functional looking truck.

*LILRED66* · 12-06-2009, 06:02 AM

How about this one?

AnlaufJohn · 12-06-2009, 09:08 PM

I find this thread truly entertaining.
Last year, I went down to visit my Aunt and to go to the Rust Never Sleeps Chevy rally. Hilandr451 was the coordinator of that rally and I explained how surprised my Aunt was of my seeing this era of trucks all over the place. From her house to Hwy 101, I saw 4, including a nice lifted 4x4 GMC, about 7 houses from hers. She never noticed them on her way to town and back.
20+ years vs. 3 days.
I have about 200 pictures of different trucks from that trip. Many were at repair shops, and I compared my rig to them. Some were much worse than mine. Some were stunning. And, yes, I am still talking about the 1960-1966 trucks.

Post some up.

The wife and I drove down to Lathrop to take our daughter to play in some man made snow. Saw three perfect candidates for this thread. Asked my wife for the camera, "What camera". My wife planned this for a week and she doesn't bring her camera. The whole day was just a huge photo op. Bummer.

Slow Build · 03-17-2010, 02:17 AM

Spring is really bringing out the old trucks. I've been seeing alot of them around lately, but I usually don't have the camera.

Saw this one today in town.

Slow Build · 05-05-2010, 04:33 PM

Here are few longbeds near my MIL's house in Concord.

Slow Build · 05-16-2010, 04:25 PM

I've seen this one around town. Haven't met him yet.
