Ron Sherman is a great guy, him and his friend Paul Tirpitz were at my buddy Robs house Friday night working on Paul's 1968 GMC.

Ok lets start this out with Ron Sherman's 1970 chevy c10 2wd short bed ! (Hollister Ca) He has had his truck 10 years. He has added disc front brakes and a newer stereo, also tilt, and the tac from a 79 Camero he is running a stock 350 / 350 with 3.73 it has 82714 on the frame, 350 has been rebuilt once ! the paint is still stock, has Line-x in the bed also the camper shell is from a 1973 chevy swb.
Pic's of Ron's Truck Here !

Next is Paul Tirpitz's 1968 GMC 1500 ! (HornBrook CA.) Paul has owened his GMC since April '98, This beast has the stock 396 with a 3 speed and 3.73 I believe. He added disc to the front and after market A/C, that is not hooked up. Radio upgrade, but it looked like both dashed were unmolested ! Paul tows a 1972 Invader 24 foot camping trailer.
Pics of Paul Tirpitz Truck Here !

My bud Rob told me that Ron was comming over, but did not tell me about Paul and his truck ! So it was like a mini Truck Block party ! We had 3 Chevys and 1 GMC, It was COOL, The older guys know a lot of stuff about these trucks ! It is alwas fun to me to B/S with the older guys about there rides. Great learning new things, getting new idea's and pointers. These two guys are great guys IMO. So I had to show off there trucks to you guys!

Hope you enjoy the pics, Sorry that they are a little rough, need a better camera !

they look great, hook em up with the Nor calif get together.
I like the camper shells, makes me miss mine when it was my parents truck

Being a GMC man, I prefered the GMC. Both trucks are looking good, but my vote would be for the Chevy. Don't know, I just like it better? Something about the red and white on the GMC I didn't like. (had a 67 chevy Impala with those colors, hated that car). It's always good when friends drop by and ya work on each others trucks, bounce ideas off each other. Keep On Truckin'.

P.S. At least theirs are on the road and not like mine and still in the garage in pieces.

I like both trucks. They look great. You say that Ron is factory paint. What color is that? It is good to have freinds who don't drive F@rds.

**jerry moss** · 09-14-2003, 11:27 AM

the light olive truck looks a lot like the 69 CST my parents bought new.
and you gotta love those bucket seats in the GMC.
I like both trucks
