Not sure where to post these pictures but I got a new scanner and wanted to share some of my old treasures.

Big Block · 11-06-2006, 10:37 PM

More pictures

Big Block · 11-06-2006, 10:45 PM

More pictures. This is one of my current Blazers. Pictures were taken Oct. 2001 after buying it in Colorado

**Canadian694x4** · 11-07-2006, 02:10 AM

shaneschevys · 11-07-2006, 02:23 AM

Nice

Bishops Trucks · 11-07-2006, 03:16 AM

Nice Trucks!

vtblazer · 11-07-2006, 06:23 AM

Most excellent!

RustyParts · 11-07-2006, 08:40 AM

Nice rides, is that the backend of a 55 Nomad sticking out of the shop? Like to get my hands on that one.

Southedisto · 11-07-2006, 09:38 AM

Sweet trucks!

**raggedjim** · 11-07-2006, 10:35 AM

The 2wd Jimmy is very nice.

As are the others! Rg

*72CSTC5* · 11-07-2006, 10:45 AM

Gorgeous collection you had there. I bet you are crying over those right about now.

**Ron 586** · 11-07-2006, 10:59 AM

To own any one of those in a lifetime would be great but to have them all at one time WOW!!!. Tell us about the 55 in the garage in the one picture.

DirtyLarry · 11-07-2006, 11:18 AM

It is always so sad to think about the one’s that got away. Here is my favorite that got away. A 72” creampuff CST with all options. I sold it in 1995 for $6800. Sadly, the hilljack that I sold it to destroyed it within a year.

Unfortunately, one the best pictures I have of it is when my new Kelly AWR tire blew out on the highway.

ghetto_superman · 11-07-2006, 12:52 PM

in my family.. nothing EVER gets away. we have so much crap... its the automotive Bates' Hotel...

clean71 · 11-07-2006, 03:45 PM

Not to be rude, but wtf were you thinking getting rid of those?

Really though, it's funny how life's twists and turns make get rid of stuff like that for whatever reason. My biggest regret is getting rid of my 1968 Buick Wildcat convertible. I have never seen one since. Anyway nice rigs.

It not a nomad. It is a 150 Handyman 2 dr wagon. I have owned (3) 55 chevy wagons. (2) were 150's and the other was a 210. The 150's don't have any side trim moldings the 210 does. You asked so I am adding pictures. Here are the 150's. And while I'm at it here are some other cars I had and let get away!

Big Block · 11-07-2006, 09:41 PM

A couple more!

Chevyman63 · 11-07-2006, 10:08 PM

WOW!!...is all I can say.

That's quite a collection.

WORNBRAKES · 11-07-2006, 11:28 PM

That is a nice collection of cars and trucks you have had. If only you could have kept them all. You could drive a different one each day.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-09-2006, 07:25 PM

Awesome Pic's

Big Block · 11-11-2006, 05:52 PM
