Our Truck in the News - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Weather.com (The Weather Channel) is doing a special on family classic cars and ours made the cut. Check out the article here: weather.com

You will learn why we painted it green and a little about what my brother did with it before I got my hands on it (hint: these things can fly).

30,000 miles on it since the restoration 2 years ago and we have driven it to:

The Grand Canyon
Rocky Mountain National Park
Glacier National Park
Yellowstone National Park
The Missouri River
Blackhills of SD
Everglades/ Florida Keys
Smokey Mountains
Cruised and Camped all of Blue Ridge Highway
Acadia National Park
and thousands of points in between

You don't have to like our truck but this is why we built it, take care of it, and enjoy it. These trucks are awesome and we sure are enjoying ours. Very excited to get the truck in to the news and hopefully inspire others to fix up their old 67-72 sitting in the side yard.

WarMonger I see you are from Ventura. You might get a kick out of this... the truck was originally bought from William L Morris when they had a dealership in Moorpark CA! Unfortunately those dealer plate frames were one of the casualties of my brother's teenage years with the truck.

That's a cool story and a nice truck. Love the color. I've been wondering what that color would look like on the 67-72 trucks. I think it looks better on your truck than it does on the Camaro's.
