Is it just me?

[Burmanater]

So in looking at tons of craigslist adds and pictures of 73-87 chevy trucks gathering Ideas for my 84 I've come to a conclusion and wonder if you guys agree?

Is it just me or are 73-87 chevy trucks a lot like air cooled VWs? In the sense that like VWs some one somewhere has chopped up or customized one into anything you can think of. You see them some rusty they're falling apart but sometimes you still see those ones going down the road. There isn't a day that goes by that you don't see at least one if not ten. Everybody has a memory of one.

But yet the same basic body style and truck can become so many different things. Everything from a full on slammed truck to a heavy load hualin SOB.

I've helped friends wrench on over 50 of these things, spent most of my teen years in the passenger seat of my buddies truck. I've had two k5s one 89 blazer one 78 jimmy, a 1991 suburban, and now my lowered 1984 shortbed. These things just have an allure I cant quite put my finger on.

What do you guys think?
