Texas has no '60-'66's? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*blackedoutharley* · 05-25-2011, 03:06 PM

I was in Texas this week on a biz trip and drove from San Antonio to Uvalde, stayed in Uvalde for two days then back to San Antonio and didn't see one single truck.... NOT ONE!

Are they all gone or was I in the wrong area of Texas?

LOL.

jonzcustomshop · 05-25-2011, 03:25 PM

I hardly ever saw an classic cars/trucks the 7 years I lived in that area.. I think the ratio of classics to people is huge compared to other areas... after I left I found out about the hamb, southaustin speed shop,mercury charlie, lone star roundup....
don't know where they hide , but they are there...

**Clyde65** · 05-25-2011, 03:58 PM

IDK about where you were but just in my small neighborhood there must be 20 60-66 trucks. that is like 1 truck for every 6 humans. You were in the wrong area IMO.

jchav62 · 05-25-2011, 05:09 PM

We took a trip ot NE TX last year, saw a bunch of classics.

I took the same trip last year and remember seeing a couple in Uvalde and the a few between there and San Antonio. None of them were show trucks but were 60-66.

kart34 · 05-25-2011, 05:44 PM

I got mine on Craigslist from Estilline, Texas on the west side on the state.

mbgmike · 05-25-2011, 05:48 PM

I saw more classic cars in texas then I ever did in years during the last Hurricane evac.

Which now makes me wonder why would anybody else be taking the same trip?

It was for a Continental Tires event held at their proving grounds right outside of Uvalde. We all had a blast.

Andice · 05-25-2011, 07:01 PM

My 64 Fenderside is from Austin (originally sold in Amarillo) and my parts truck is a '66 GMC Fleetside from Harper, TX. There is a '64ish Chevy truck right around the corner from my house in Austin. At work, in Andice, I see a few drive by and we don't even have a stoplight in town.

Yes we did... (I didn't see any trucks last year either). You should have gone this year. We got to run off road buggies through a course with some airtime thrown in!

LaPaloma afterwards was nice again as well.

LOL!

This year time got away from me. Will try to go next year for sure. Not sure which would have been better off road buggies or supercar.

Indian113 · 05-25-2011, 08:39 PM

Last time I went to Houston I saw a few Classic's in Texas. I saw a lot more in Missouri and Oklahoma on the roads I was on.

CVA59 · 05-25-2011, 09:02 PM

I live in Longview (east Texas) On occasion you will see a few running the roads. Not as many and there used to be in recent years but there still are a few.

knuckledragger · 05-25-2011, 09:05 PM

Mine is in the garage.there are at least 20 classics within a 1/2 mile of me.I just cannot afford to feed the old girl right now or I would drive it daily.

There are quite a few 60-66 in west Texas but not very many are customized.

Supercar company went out of business we were told. Depends on your likes I suppose.
I had never done anything with off road stuff so it was a very nice change.

Rich 5150 69 · 05-25-2011, 11:34 PM

I know i my area, say within 5 mintes of my house in any direction I can show 15 60-66 trucks driven dailey....not counting the several I see every day coming home from work. this town is loaded with them.

*blackedoutharley* · 05-26-2011, 02:59 AM

I was down off of Florin & 99 last week and saw several of them within a few blocks of each other, including a freshly painted white LWB C-10 (64-66).

I was shocked that I didn't see any in SW Texas though!

dallas71 · 05-26-2011, 11:16 AM

Muleman100 · 05-26-2011, 02:07 PM
