Whats the best part about working-owning these trucks?

[ItsRandy]

The best part is spending all of the money before my wife gets a chance at it and when someone looks my truck over and says "I guess it looks alright", I can say "Let's see the one you built from the ground up, yourself"!

[mcmlxix]

No one around here has one ... I'm an original !!

[JWall]

I just like the style & design of these trucks... I think I was kind of a head of their time in style & design.

I also like the simplicity of the trucks as far as working on them.

And then who doesnt love a 67-72? Everytime I've driven either of the two 72's I've had you are always showered with thumbs up, questions, & compliments.

They're simple & cheap , just like that old H.S. GF you had..... .


I remember when these were new in the Dealer , never thought I'd own one but I do now and I love it , there's a reason Chevy outsold Brand 'F' for all those years , just slide behind the wheel of a GM truck and you'll soon know why .

I'm an old geezer , Journeyman Mechanic who grew up on The Farm (Milking Shorthorns) so I know and love , base model work trucks ~ this old 6 Banger shortie stepper is *exactly* my idea of the perfect truck ~ i can work the crap out of it then hose it down and take my Lady to dinner in it....

We're driving it to Death Valley this weekend in fact .

Few still put 80 + miles weekly on an old truck ,I do and this one isn't restored , it's just an old survivor .

BTW : I STILL HAVE A VERY NICE GREEN CLOTH BENCH SEAT FOR FREE ! PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME TOSS IT IN THE SCRAP BIN

Knowing I have an "oldie but goodie". Mostly everyone around here just doesn't get it BUT I love my truck and I get it. I will never own another vehicle. So I know Ima learn alot about this truck and I love the fact that there is alot of room to play around in.

They are just plain good looking trucks. They are the ultimate classic Chevy trucks, the prettiest trucks GM ever made. That trumps any design flaws they may have, IMO.

Well they are the best looking trucks ever made! As mentioned before, simple, parts are cheap, they ride and drive great! I like driving it much better than my 98 Tahoe and it looks so much cooler, even with the rust and multicolored body parts! You don't have to have a good friend with computer diagonostic equipment to work on it! Oh yea, that friend likes my truck too LOL!

[sean1969c10]

I like that parts are available so readily, new and used. The styling is timeless and they drive so nicely, they are very useable classics. So you get all these great points and the awesome Chevy parts interchangeability and you have the total package in my opinion!!

[HotNotch]

The fact that its definitely the only one in the parking lot at work, school, almost wherever

[OldCreek]

I'm just totally stoked when I drive mine. It brings a smile every time.

I feel like I'm saying to the world, "Hey, I don't need to keep up with the Jones'." Go ahead and spend your tens of thousands on a new one...mine will still get the job done!

In the 4x4 lexicon: "Built not Bought!"

First off, i drive my truck almost every day, and i use it as a truck. As stated above they are the easiest trucks to work on yourself [no scan tool needed here]. Also you can pull up to a stoplight and see two newer trucks or cars that look identical in the same intersection, that won't happen with a 67-72. I have the only one like mine around here. The thumbs up and compliments are nice too. Joseph

Interestingly , here on the West Coast , there's still quite a few of the doing daily working duty , the scrap yards get in a dozen every week , mostly because of rust issues , no one wants to spend any $ fixing up a long bed V-8 that gets 10 ~ 13 MPG at best .

A sad thing really .

[eldogg]

My favorite part about these trucks is they are old enough to be cool but new enough to drive great!! and they seem to hold value better than most other trucks........

[Eddie H.]

My daily driver is a 2012 Silverado ( company truck) It's ok, has all the modern bells and whistles, but it just don't have the character that my 69 GMC has. There's just something about these old trucks that makes them more than just a piece of machinery.

[72chevyk10]

best part of my truck is the girl attention it brings and all the little kids that ALWAYS give me a thumbs up haha

[big_al_71]

The best part for me is the satisfaction of completing the project and the compliments i get on it.

[powpow]

The fact that girls love old trucks is nice. Working on it with my dad and Grandpa are really some of the best times i ve had no matter how mad we get. And that you really can make it your own, the newer trucks are all the same. I have never confused my truck with any one elses at a parking lot

[midniteblues]

Its not the best part but being able to do this is nice try it with a newer truck and your gonna break plastic

[VWNate1]

Do what ? all I see is a blurry picture of someone looking out a car window....

hey vw nate sorry for the blurry pic.
It is a pic of a pic but it is my boy sitting under the 67 c10 hood puttin a hei in.
I dont believe there is any vehicles made lately that you can sit under the hood.

For me, it's knowing that my truck has been parked in the same driveway for 42 years. 500,000 miles worth of memories are embedded into that steel.

Even though I drastically changed everything about my truck, it still has the exact same soul. Everybody that I have known for a long time has fond memories of it. Having a beer with friends, leaning on the bed rails, and someone says " remember when...".

I can not even comprehend it not being there.

[brianthelion02]

That's awesome Dunenutt!!!
