Defining moment(s) where you fell in love with 67-72's

[plowro8]

When I was a kid, my dad had a 71 work truck... just a beater. It was nothing special back in the 80's when I was a kid, but I still remember it because it was really loud and always smelled like gas.

Anyway, here recently, before I bought my 72, I was searching for a 73-87 square body to purchase. Don't get me wrong, I love the square bodies, but I came across the 72 I eventually bought and something clicked. I remembered dad's truck, but as I really starting looking at the 67-72's I realized that there couldn't possibly be a more beautiful, flawless body design for a truck. Before my purchase these trucks wouldn't really turn my head, and I have surely seen a lot of them over the years (I am 40 now), but now I can spot one from 6 miles away. And when I see one, I always make an attempt to go look at it up close, no matter what condition it is in. I am very thankful for this forum and all the advice from my fellows, and so glad there are so many of us out there keeping these beauties running for the generations to come.
