My 68 is 2 years older and my 2 69's are one year older and my 70 OLDS are the same.

70gmcjimmy · 12-12-2006, 11:23 PM

Im much, much, much older than my trucks. Heck I've owned my trucks longer than a lot of you folks been alive. Problem is they look old too! I guess faster than me applies also. The 72 has definitely done more work for me than I've done for it. Jimmy is first in line tho. Fun thread!

I came out in '77. My truck was celebrating it's 50th anniversary in '68. 9 years before I was a twinkle in Momma's eye.

GMCMAX · 12-12-2006, 11:55 PM

I was 10 when dad bought the 69 used in 72, so I had to be 6 when my GMC was hatched in 68.

skchevota · 12-12-2006, 11:57 PM

MY 70 has 6 years on me, I think it robbed the cradle.

bad_turbo · 12-13-2006, 12:05 AM

I'm older than 2 of my trucks

rstewart09 · 12-13-2006, 09:27 AM

I am 10 years older than my 67 and I am faster right now too. Once I finish the 350 and 700r4 install I sure hope it is faster than me.

shaneschevys · 12-13-2006, 10:48 AM

My 72 has 5 years on me.

jacobs · 12-13-2006, 11:30 AM

Let's put it this way......I drove a brand new bare bones 69 c10 (no options except for factory painted special color) in my employment and I had been working for quite a few years at that time.

superjeer · 12-13-2006, 03:12 PM

my truck's a 72, can't remember when it was built. But, I was built in 73

72Chevrolet · 12-13-2006, 03:36 PM

My 72 is 18yrs older than me! I'm 17 so I'm way faster =)

ks147j111928 · 12-13-2006, 08:00 PM

My 67 K10 has a few years on me, like 11, but since it has a granny trans, 4.11 gears and a 292... I am WAY faster. Especially since it's in pieces right now.

Imacarguytoo · 12-13-2006, 08:01 PM

My truck is a 67 and im 33.....if i look like my truck when im 40 please throw me off a cliff.

crazy longhorn · 12-13-2006, 08:16 PM

My 69ner is way faster than this old man......He!! the speed of sex is 68 mph.......if you go any faster, you have to turn around! What the he!!, I was born in 57.....but I just might be faster than the old truck(for another 4 or 5 yrs)!

Slammed70 · 12-13-2006, 08:17 PM

Damn....I feel young, I just turned 21 in November.

So my trucks a good 15 years older then me.

**Boog** · 12-13-2006, 08:23 PM

Yeah well, I'm a good bit older than my 69. I can say this project has a youthfull effect on me, so to speak. I am doing things to this one I couldn't afford to do when I was 15. And when it's on the road I'm gonna burn some rubber and maybe raise a little hell too, for a while. Then I'll go back to being an adult.

I can relate Boog. Im 6 years older than my 69. It seems like I forget all the good things, but as much as I try, I always remember how OLD I am...

Sweet72 · 12-13-2006, 09:29 PM

I wish I was still 34 years old like my '72! I'm a 1959 model and remember watching TV shows like Combat in black and white.

CPNEJR · 12-13-2006, 10:45 PM

lets see my 67 is 24 years older than me

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 12-14-2006, 01:48 AM

The truck and suburban are 17 years older than me, i'm 19.

Boise69 · 12-14-2006, 02:02 AM

Ok heres what i want to know... youre 19. When i was 19 I wasn't having an erection over a 1944 chevy.

How isit you grew to like your 1970 Chevy, what made you want it and What inspired you?

grebus1 · 12-14-2006, 01:12 PM

If we're using the build date rather than the model year, my Burb and I are the same age--35.

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 12-15-2006, 12:09 AM

It was my Grandfathers and he just passed it on to me, he said it was time to get it running again. That and I remember he used to let me drive it around the field with him riding shotgun when I was a kid, man those were the days.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 12-15-2006, 12:33 AM

kbs71 · 12-15-2006, 12:40 AM

I got a 71 that was given to me by my mother after my step fater died in 2004. So I'm older by 12 years (by the way first post of my truck).
Unfortunately I T-boned a 2004 Mazda crew cab a couple of months ago, so that has started my frame off resto.
