Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

I'm too old to remember my age but I got my 70 in 1984 (when I was 34) and have had it for 25 years. Somebody else can have it after I'm dead and I hope they put a 572 tall deck in it!

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

Bought my 67 at 23 and hopefully by the time I turn 24 I'll be starting to build a 67 from the ground up! Literally from the ground up, by piecing one together. I know....I'm nuts!

53 until mid January. I bought my 70 when I was 44, and we will probably be cremated together.

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

I got my 67 1/2 ton in '91 when my father-in-law passed. I was 36 then. I got my 67 3/4 ton about 10 years ago when I was 44. That makes me 54 now.

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

My Dad sold his 68 when I was 10 and I swore to get it back....Never happened.

The 68 I have now I got when I was 39 and now I am 42.
I did get the original Delco Push Button from my Dads 68 so I guess I got a piece of it.

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

I am almost 64, never thought I would live this long.

I bougth a '72 GMC in '75 and drove it for 15 years or so.

I bought my '71 a few years ago and we put the '67 together last year. Both are drivers waiting to be restored next year.
