As the title says... I'm celebrating 30 years of ownership of my 71 truck! Actually I celebrated that yesterday!
March 14 1986 I paid $500.00 for it with 85,000 miles on it.

Awesome, congrats Andy. I'll give you your $500 back for the truck:-)

I'll have to think about that man. That's a nice offer you made!

I thought you would get a kick out of that remark Andy. Here's to the next 30 years!

Congratulations Andy ! I always want to ask why RED letters in your posts ? But I guess it's cool ! Hope you can drive it another 30 years....

Thanks!

The red letters are just because the truck is red so why not! I write on all the forums I am a memeber of in red also so if your on other forums and see the red it's probably me!

Congrats, Andy,
I bought my Orange '68 C/10 Stepside in June 1973, so that's nearly 43 years.
It had just turned 80,000 then [in fact I thought it had 79,000 when I looked at it, but it had turned 80 k when the deal closed. PO must've made one last Vegas run before selling] I paid $1200 1973 Dollars -- which was a lot of money for a 23 year old -- for a very well kept 5 year old truck.
I'll never sell. I don't have any vintage pix. But I could look among my parents' snapshots. It'd only take a year or 2.
