Stuck On 67-72/New Breeds

I`ve always liked old trucks,big`n`small.It didn`t take long for GMs to become my favorite,for a number of reasons.I love the looks and character of the pre-war trucks.The Advanced Designs are so cool`n`cute(chicks dig`em)I can`t stand it.They made two styles the year I was born(can you guess my age?).I want both!The Task Masters got the style of the "tri-5s" that is sooo 50s.The Apaches grabbed that 60s "custom-style" as much as the cars of the time and lead us into the "pony car/muscle car" era that then was taken over at the "height" in 67 by the New Breed.I love them all,and want at least one of each.I started out owning a`72 as a comprimise for it`s practicallity and "just-as-modern" as new qualities.As cool as the earlier trucks were,I needed one vehicle to do everything,like get me to work,wherever that may be.It was 1973 and I just thought these trucks were cooler.Well,32 years later,there`s still always one in my driveway(or 2,3,or 4).I have yet to own another(earlier)body-style truck.Now that these are "antique",I`m hoping I`ll be able to own an oldy some day.
