As it applies to many members on this site:
" Which truck are you talking about? "

**slepysal** · 05-26-2016, 11:24 AM

What year is it?

dougf · 05-26-2016, 05:30 PM

"Nice truck. Got any parts?"

ol_skool_chevy · 05-26-2016, 06:55 PM

My wife says " Great, what are you going to do for your 18th birthday?".........I reminded her I was 56 years old already. I'm going to miss her.....Hahahaha

Larry64 · 05-26-2016, 08:42 PM

When the truck was up on jack stands putting in the T5, granddaughter asked "why is your truck flying"?

cru_zn_29 · 05-26-2016, 11:01 PM

Is it done yet?

rudy62 · 05-27-2016, 01:33 AM

Wife- Still buying parts for that thing

**Clyde65** · 05-27-2016, 11:19 AM

Repairmen asked if I did all the work? I said other than paint yes!

Still needs more paint tho

What year is that Mercury?

T2vigil · 05-28-2016, 04:03 PM

I was at the MainStreet Cruise-In in Cleveland TN and a guy asked "Is that a 67". I said no it was a 64. By the way the MainStreet Cruise-In is a great place to see all kinds of cars. Folks are great.

nail pounder · 05-28-2016, 04:48 PM

Here's a new one for me.
At the gas station random guy in a generic grocery getter says, "cool truck but what kind of mileage you get?"
Me, "pretty good, like 12 with a tail wind"
Just curious, anyone else had that question? Heck, if I was concerned about milage I'd drive some ugly eco-friendly hybrid pile.

He then asked how much I had to have to consider selling it. My response was it is still not for sale as it took my 29 years to find it and if I did have a price it would be ridiculously high.

66gilbert. Are you near the Verde Valley? There is a truck exactly like yours here, same color.

65chevysub · 05-28-2016, 09:34 PM

I get lots of "Thumbs Up" for my 65 Suburban, even as it sits now with tissue thin rattle can primer on it. Back in the 90's, I turned down 2 $12000.00 and a $15000.00 cash offer for it when my wife was driving it to Sedona for work.

my56chevytruck · 05-28-2016, 09:50 PM

Today a guy at the gas station said, "if that were a Ford truck I'd make you a great offer". I said, then you can't afford this Chevy truck, haha He laughed and said, great ride.

maydaymike · 05-28-2016, 10:48 PM

I bought my truck today. Just running around town, I had 3 people asking if it was for sale.

scottco · 05-29-2016, 01:05 AM

My wife said " Another box of parts came in today for that stupid truck, wish you would work on my house " lol,,,

sanford66 · 05-29-2016, 05:45 AM

What year is it? I tell them 66. Then it goes into my dad or my grandpa had one back in the day..., and it's usually on my way to work when I don't have time to shoot the breeze. Dang, I love to stroll down memory lane to but it's just a truck to me. Joseph

Mathew21 · 05-29-2016, 09:46 AM

I had an old guy come up to me yesterday and say "Your truck is perfect the way it is don't change a thing."

65chevysub,

Cottonwood is where I call home. I sold you some factory front bumper guards for you Burb sometime ago back when Arby's had their monthly drive in car show.

My wife,
At first it was a hobby, then it was a job, now it is an obsession.

Another good come back would be "Most Fords this age couldn't even make it to the gas station"

The best I have gotten was a thumbs up from Jay Leno while I was stopped at a stop light.
