What were you doing the year your truck was built?

[pickup nut]

In '68 I was heading to Ft. Benning Georgia . Getting ready for an even longer trip ( 173rd Airborne brigade, border ranger,RVN '69-'70) Ended up staying in for 6 years.My old man bought a '68 swb step side in '69 with about 600 miles on it from a bud of his. Then pop bought another car and decided he didn't need a truck.He sold it to a guy he worked with in early '70.This guy has had the truck every since.He always said if he ever got rid of the truck he would let us get it back.I called him about every 5 years asking if he wanted to sell the truck ,But the answer was always no.About 6 months ago I called this time he said " well I guess I will go ahead and give ya'll the truck back" I said "cool man I 'll come on up and we will get together on a price" He replied" No ,I said I was going to give you the truck back come on and get it".Ya'll might remember the post with the black '68 that everybody said it was the only one they had ever seen with factory trim on the cab of a step side.Took me over 30 years but I got this one back.
