While I was hanging out in the garage this past Sunday, watching football and having a few 'sodies', I glanced up at the old picture which I've encluded to back up my rambling. Taken in 1979, I was nineteen years old and it was my first of four so far of these trucks. It was an old cool truck then, but it was only seven years old. My buddies and I knew these were cool trucks and nothing has changed that today. I paid $1200 for it and only had to do some minor mechanicals to make it my daily winter driver. My big block 4 speed '68 Nova didn't get around too well in snow. Pop didn't care for two of my vehicles in his driveway, but that's another issue.
Anyway, at the time, this truck was only seven years old, but it was an old truck. Today, our latest '72 is in pieces being restored, and my daily driver is a '95 Blazer. Wifey drives a '99 Tahoe and is our long distance family truckster. Neither are considered old by today's standards. Just seemed odd that it was old then but today's stuff isn't as old for some reason.
