I am Younger/Older than my truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Americanrider · 12-12-2006, 03:52 AM

Next month the 67's are turning the big 4-oh.

I'd like to see the breakdown of the age groups here. If you own more than one truck (like me) just pick your favorite driver/project.

Bishops Trucks · 12-12-2006, 04:06 AM

I can't pick my favorite out of my '68 4X4, '71 4X4, or my '71 SS 427 Project Truck. That's kind of like having to pick my favorite child, I have 3 of them also. O.K. I'll pick the Project Truck but as for the kids I plead the 5th.

brak · 12-12-2006, 04:50 AM

my 72 is 6 years older than me, almost to the day

**Bob B.** · 12-12-2006, 05:09 AM

I am older than the '67, but not by too much. I remember when these trucks were new, and a neighbor down the street bought a new loaded red '69 C-20.

**Palf70Step** · 12-12-2006, 06:23 AM

I have a few years on my 70

, I was nearing the legal driving age when the 70 came about.

krue · 12-12-2006, 07:24 AM

Since I am younger than my truck (70) and older than my blazers (72) I picked Same Age. (I'm a 71 model.

)

AKChevyman · 12-12-2006, 08:07 AM

My 71 has 7 years on me the wifes 69 has 10 years on her ;o)

Lippyp · 12-12-2006, 08:14 AM

Just younger as I hit the big 4-0 this september 11th. Not sure I'm much faster though as the knees ain't what they used to be!

novajess1972 · 12-12-2006, 08:28 AM

well i was born in 69,,my ol truck was in 68...and its faster than me just sitting there with no motor..

72freak · 12-12-2006, 08:54 AM

I was born in September 1967 and I have never had a 67.....only 68-72's.
So I am older than all mine.

Orange · 12-12-2006, 09:36 AM

I currently only have (1) 67-72 in left in my stable...my 1971 GMC which is my original project truck.
It was my first vehicle I bought when I was 15.
I am an '82 model. Hehe.

shlickster · 12-12-2006, 10:02 AM

My GMC rolled off in '67, I never got built until '75.

67ChevyRedneck · 12-12-2006, 10:02 AM

My 67 has 13 years on me, but I have 20 years on my Z71....

Pickles · 12-12-2006, 10:23 AM

i'm 49 and it's 38..........i have more miles on me,but it is faster......hehe

charlie diaz · 12-12-2006, 11:00 AM

My '69 has 10 years on me, and I'm faster! But it's only because I'm tearing the motor down that was in it.

71MUTT · 12-12-2006, 11:32 AM

I'm older then mine by 14 years. I'm in way better shape too. The truck needs major surgery. Cancer and heart problems for the old 71. I should just shoot it.

409biscayne · 12-12-2006, 11:48 AM

Older . I actually drove a 68 cst 327 t400 to H.S. ( dads ), and sadly it was near new , lol .

Richard H. · 12-12-2006, 12:04 PM

1969K10 · 12-12-2006, 12:04 PM

Boise69 · 12-12-2006, 12:25 PM

**CMars45000** · 12-12-2006, 12:29 PM

Let see, my 1971 C10 was my MOM's high school graduation present. I am 24 so the 71 has a few year on me...

mjensen · 12-12-2006, 12:33 PM

I'm in the same boat, cept mine has 11 years on me.

bryanw1968 · 12-12-2006, 01:07 PM

Same age. We're both a '68 model.
I have tried to locate more information using a VIN# lookup site but it hardly tells me anything other than it's a 68 and it was made in St. Louis, MO.
Anybody have a good site I could try to get some better details on it?
Thanks!
