Snowy days. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, the snow from this new year's winter blast is finally almost all melted away(at least around here, anyway). Before it all disappeared, though, and while the roads were clear, I got a chance to get the ol girl out and snap a few pics. I hope ya'll like them.

I was hoping to get some different angles and some better offset views, but the sun was just in the wrong spot, and the narrow road I was on didn't allow me to manuever much.

doesn't matter, a 5 year old can take a pic of your truck and the truck would look just as awesome... short step sides are as sexy as they get

Beautiful truck! If you want some snow pics, come on up to Maine. We have a foot + on the ground, and two more storms in the pipeline for tonight, and Friday. Plenty of opportunity!

Wow a foot! ;-). Its halfway up my thigh out in the yard here. lol

**mr48chev** · 01-18-2011, 01:07 PM

That is just one flat good looking no nonsense little blue truck. I'd have to look long and hard before I found a short stepside that I liked better.

Beautiful truck. I like the glossy paint, and I've always loved the Cragar-type 5 spoke rims.

NW_Ryker · 01-18-2011, 10:53 PM

I clicked this thread expecting to see some shenanigans fueled by the snow..... I guess I'll just have to settle. Nice Truck!

hotrodchevy1999 · 01-18-2011, 11:59 PM

here is my pics of the last snow the frist one is one that someone took of my 71 and 05 and had put in the news paper online pics of the snow made me say wow went i seen that and not knowing it was in there and the second pic is one i took of my suburban went it was snowing

**DREW67** · 01-19-2011, 09:17 AM

Nice stepper!

68Stepbed · 01-19-2011, 12:15 PM

Thanks for all the compliments, guys. Yeah we certainly don't get much snow around here. They said on the news the other night that we were already 2" above our yearly total, and that was only halfway through January.

I've not been able to get any pics of my truck around snow, because they start salting the roads here at the first mention of a falling snowflake. I miss having a beater truck sometimes.

My wheels are 17" AR TTII's.

hotrodchevy1999 · 01-22-2011, 11:17 AM

Like seeing the snow pics but tired of getting snow every time it seems like i turn around lol ready for summer
