My New Toy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DREW67** · 09-29-2005, 10:05 AM

Here is my new toy it is a 72 3/4 ton with 50k original miles so they say, but all indications makes me believe it to be true. It has add on air that I think will work after replacing a few hoses. I was trying to save this truck from beging parted out the gentlemen that had it before sold the bed off of it and it was perfect. There is very little rust on this truck. Now for the funny

part my wife does not know about it I have it in storage and it's been there for 2 months now. I don't know if I'll be able to keep it when she finds out. I have been hinting it on to her and she said if I bring another truck home you will be living in the dog house. So until then I will keep it in storage and work on it there get it looking pretty and then try and bring it home I hope.

NICE truck Drew, but why would you have to stay in the dog house when you have a nice big storage shed you can stay in.

**Joesjunk** · 09-29-2005, 10:23 PM

Andrew, you still haven't told your wife!!!! LOL!! When are you going to show your nice '72 short bed? She know's about that one!!

teeitup · 09-29-2005, 10:55 PM

Looks good Andrew!!!! Nice low miles TOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Hope you don't get into to much trouble with the wife, she'll get it over it soon!!!

86swb · 09-30-2005, 12:30 AM

Nice buy. Really like the cool three tone paint.

67chevemall · 09-30-2005, 12:55 AM

looks like 50k

**DREW67** · 09-30-2005, 08:30 AM

Now Joe my 72 shortbed is no match for your 68 1 ton and Ironmikes 68. But I'll show them any how. Hope Mike does not mine me showing his truck it is awesome. The red 68 is Ironmikes truck at Good Guys last weekend in KC
Thanks for you comments guys.

**DREW67** · 09-30-2005, 08:33 AM

More I love this truck.

86swb · 09-30-2005, 10:00 AM

What did that vortec engine come out of? Man, those are some nice trucks. You should have put them on the screensaver. That Vortec in the red truck looks like it was made for it. Great job. By the way, is that a for sale sign in the window?

**DREW67** · 09-30-2005, 10:10 AM

This truck was done by a friend of Joe's name Rick he has done a awesome job everything is so detailed. If I had the money I would buy it and have nothing else. I hope Mike or Joe can post more pictures of this truck it is worthy of being in TRUCKS magazine. This show was it's third show it took first in the last two, don't know what it did at GOOD GUYS.

**truckdude239** · 09-30-2005, 10:34 AM

drew the red truck on the race way what cloor is it i been wanting to paint mine that color do you know the code?

**DREW67** · 09-30-2005, 10:40 AM

Maybe Joe can find out the paint code.

**Joesjunk** · 09-30-2005, 06:23 PM

The red 68 is a 72 Corvette color, Mille Miglia red.

Hey it ain't so bad in the dog house. I have been in there so long that when I see a friend on the street I don't know if I'm supposed to shake his hand or sniff his @ss....

Nice truck though. Maybe she will let you keep it.

RicksTrucks · 09-30-2005, 06:55 PM

DREW67 - my wife has said the same thing. That is why the last two parts trucks I bought, I was able to leave them there and just come and get the parts as I could. Kept the peace better.
