What drew you to the 67-72 Chevy Trucks?

[70 shop truck]

It was my dad. I grew up in my early years on a farm in western Oklahoma. He had a 1970 K10 that was "his truck" and nobody was allowed to use it. When I was about 13 we moved into town and he purchased the chevy dealership but still drove that truck to work everyday instead of using a new car as a demo. About 6 months after getting the dealership they took in a 1969 C10 stepside with a 454 and a 4 speed painted red, white, and blue and the k10 was stored and the stepside became his daily driver. He either drove that truck or the K10 everyday for the rest of his life. I was in Iraq when he passed and my mom allowed my brother (not a car guy) to settle the will and he sold them both instead of letting me have the K10. Needless to say we didn't speak much for awhile. I always feel a bit connected to my dad when I drive or work on my truck.
