HELLO!!! He didn't want to hear...actually argued with my hubby.....wtf? Some people are sooooooooooooooo stupid!!!!!!!

71-longbed · 03-19-2005, 02:49 PM

You tell him !!!

.. hope you feel better now

cdowns · 03-19-2005, 02:55 PM

i can't begin to tell you of the many thousands of miles i've traveled because of people like that. the best is "RUSTFREE" they think because they put a gallon of bondo where the metal used to be that it's now rustfree

JerseyGirl · 03-19-2005, 03:13 PM

Yea..that too!!! She said it had "some" rust.......YEA RIGHT lady......thing looked liked it was sitting in an ocean..

*screamin_c102* · 03-19-2005, 03:19 PM

If most of the rust has fallen on the ground, then there would be just "some" rust left on the truck right?

So every time he slams the door on his truck there is less and less rust...

Hell he's probably slammin the hell out of it as we speak

Man....it actually hurts my head to think that way....

**PICKMUP** · 03-19-2005, 04:24 PM

I have gone to look at several 72 Chev Super Cheyenne's, loaded, AC etc. They were 73s, made in late 72. So the titles actually said 72. The owners don't know and I am looking at 73 junk.

Hey JerseyGirl sounds like you won't be the last person to have that argument with him, unless he finds an idiot.

ChevyDude · 03-19-2005, 05:24 PM

That's retarded...people...wtf???

*dtlilly* · 03-19-2005, 05:30 PM

Yeah, that bites! Even when you try to educate these people, they want to argue with you

I stopped talking trucks to a dude I met, because he won't understand that 1967 was the first year of the 67-72 trucks. I showed him proof, and he still won't listen

UP THERE, DOWN HERE, OR BOTH

*dtlilly* · 03-19-2005, 06:29 PM

The dude that doesn't believe 67 was the first year is from up here, he almost bought a 3/4 ton 68, and said it was the first year for the collectable trucks. I made a 300 mile round trip to look at a 72 truck in Alabama that turned out to be a 73 body style

Yup..I agree! I hope some REALLY big dude goes out there..and has to have a pretty long drive....because when he finds out it isnt a 70...he is gonna do some punching on his head.....

I tried to warn the dude....the bodystyles are sooooooooooooooooo obviously different...have to be a real schmuck not to know that..and a chic does...

LMAO!

I knew it wasn't a '70 when I first saw that yellow...looked like a tonka truck....I think I am just ordinary...I just know quite a bit about cars/trucks...all about the education baby!

And I would LOVE to see ya whoop this dude...

*Randy70C-10* · 03-19-2005, 07:27 PM

I have a 70 GMC, how about we drive his truck and mine straight up his ass and we'll see if he still can't tell the difference.

*dtlilly* · 03-19-2005, 07:33 PM

Randy, I have your back!! Tree, do you want a video, or should we call you and your hubby to be there in person

71Shortbed · 03-19-2005, 07:49 PM

Hey Tree, Thats nothing. Years ago I got on a plane and flew from Atlanta to Kentucky to look at a '63 Riviera that was in "mint" condition. It was "at the shop having the headliner redone". Well, it was at the shop allright... it was all over the shop. Parts of it were even outside the shop. Biggest sack of *hit I have ever seen. I was ready to kick some *ss. The owner is lucky he was out of state.... he lived in Florida at the time. The shop owner was pissed because he kept sending people over to look at it.

70 shorty · 03-19-2005, 09:33 PM

I definitely love the rust free thing. I can't count how many "rust free" doors I've looked at for my Z28. They all were just as bad as the one I already have.

**Boog** · 03-19-2005, 09:53 PM

Hey Tree. you can't win an arguement with an idiot. They'll beat you with experience every time. This guy didn't know jack about these trucks.

hahaha.....I would PAY to see that.....and me & the hubby would meet you guys there NO DOUBT!

It's true...there is no arguing with an idiot...I wonder how he knew it was a 350, 4 bolt main???

Brainchild · 03-19-2005, 10:54 PM

Well the world is full of morons like that I'm sorry to say.My brother-in-law who has a 454 hemi in his trans am.Or those guys that are convinced that 250 watts through 6 speakers is 1500 watts.Or my friend who bought an 02 TA with a ramair hood,"The only one ever made"Jeez!
I guess by these terms that rick of wood I'm getting tomorrow would be a lowering kit for my truck,right?

Naaa, it was an "iron duke" 4 cylinder, all 1970's came with that, didn't you know? (it's on the VIN)

Longhorn Man · 03-20-2005, 10:18 PM

What about all the rare 3 door suburbans?
I showed this jack ass here GM papers that flat out show the trucks havin 3 doors, and says 3 doors, bu t'ole boy stood there and argued. When I mentioned that burbs older than 67 had only 2 doors, he laughed so hard he almost spit on me. (No teeth to stop his spit)

That rare burb is still rotting in the same location it was 3 years ago when i spotted it. Nothing special, 350 powered 69/70 liftgate burb with tons-o-rust.

JerseyGirl · 03-20-2005, 11:23 PM

People are a trip huh?

There is no cure for stupidity..

**raggedjim** · 03-21-2005, 01:26 PM

Yup, I had a conversation with a guy and his wife who swore up and down you could get a 70-72 2wd Blazer with rear leaf springs... I guess they bought it that way and didn't like it when I said "that's one of the nicest conversions I've ever seen".

The guy pretty much told me I didn't know my elbow from another part of my anatomy. And when I pointed out that the vin was a 4wd vin (with the K) he said "everyone thinks they know so much about these blazers, what makes you so smart?" I said, well I have 2 of them that are 2wd and had a 4wd and I also have the Greatest source of info at my fingertips (67-72chevytrucks.com!)

I wasn't downgrading his truck, it was much nicer than either of mine, but I hate to think he believes something that isn't true...
