First truck pics
this was my first truck. My grampa bought this truck new in 69 and my father and I restored it in the mid 80s it was a 250/6 with 3 on the tree we put power steering and a 327 in. It's the only truck I have seen with a 250/6 with factory a/c. I had this truck all trough school and my first date in it as well, damn those were some good times . The next pic is me and my grampa you can kinda make the truck in the back ground that was 30 years ago. I'll find better pics of this truck and post them when I find them..

The connection with previous generations is way cool! It made me think of my grandfather. He made me learn to drive on a '64 Chevy P/U. He said that once I could drive that I could drive anything. In addition, I taught my wife to drive a manual on that very same vehicle. She is about the only one I trust to drive my '67 BB 'maro now. I guess Grandpa new what he was talking about.

Yep, I wish that my dad would have kept a 69 that he had when I was about 5 or 6, loved that truck. I kind of bucked the trend in my family, since my granddad drove f$rds and then switched to dodges in the mid '70s. I just wanted a truck to haul things every once in a while, and missed working on a project and thought the best looking trucks were the 67-72's so here I am.

I was at a family reunion over the 4th and someone had some pics of everyone setting out in the front yard of GrandMa's under the big oak tree. Everyone's cars and trucks were in the pic. Uncle Ron's 69 C-10, Uncle Curt's 60 Impala SS (409), Mom & Dad's 65 Ford Fairlane Wagon, and a few others. The pic was from 71. Everyone was looking at the people and hair styles, I was looking at the vehicles......

Awesome story! That's some heritage. I've had my 69 since 89, and have no idea how many owners it had. I do know it was bought new from a dealership in Electra, TX, a small town that's just about gone now. I drove though it earlier this year, but could find no signs of a car dealership having been in any of the boarded-up buildings. Sad, huh?

I was stationed overseas in the Army and was pretty much broke (to young and free) and sold it to my brother inlaw and he was NEVER going to sell it yea right ! Theres no telling whatever happened to the truck, hopefully some guy has it and is living he dream and doing a frame off and it will be the next Classic Truck center fold you never knows...
