Saw another short bed tonight

[Lattimer]

Drove my Chevy over to Home Depot to get a couple of keys cut this afternoon. On the way back I turned a corner and saw a brown/primer shortbed in the parking lot of the Wawa (convenience store for those not from my area). Just had to pull in and talk to the guy. His is a '69 custom, 6 cylinder auto. Decent cab, decent bedsides, bed floor is gone and rockers are gone. Talked for a few and compared notes.

1st time I've seen another 67-72 on the road, let alone a short bed, since buying my truck over 2 months ago.

That's great. Sad to hear there aren't more than that on the road where you are. I see them quite a bit. I wave to them as I drive by, but I don't think most share our enthusiasm and appreciation of these trucks, because most don't wave back. I did get a guy driving a '70 or so GMC truck with his girl in the center spot (my girl was riding center too) to wave back last week.

Maybe you could post up an invitation on the forum for guys from your area to get together? There might be more around than you think, and you could have a great time together, like we did at our get together on Saturday

I know there are a few guys in the area from locations I see in posts on here. But I never see the trucks out.

I know there is a teal truck with a 90's stepside bed on that I used to see around, but haven't seen him since the summer. Winter salt and whatnot many people keep there classics in the garage until summer, so I'm sure that plays a factor.

Thats a bummer man, down here in texas you can wave to just about anyone on the road and get a wave back. Just the Texan way I guess
