Pics of my Trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

f.monroe · 02-25-2007, 08:55 PM

I put new BFG's on the 77 Bonanza and cleaned off the excess dirt . I also installed my cheap original mirrors I bought on Ebay . The old truck looks better now . I decided to take a couple of photos of the 78 Cheyenne , 87 3/4 ton Chevrolet , and ,believe it or not my favorite truck , the 77 Bonanza . What do you think ?

**old Rusty C10** · 02-25-2007, 09:01 PM

i love that blue one ( not that the others are anything not to love im just partial to blue) dont suppouse youd gove it to a guy who hasnt got a chevy truck of his own anymore would ya??? LOL kidding about giving it away.. it is a reallly nice bunch of trucks tho

Low87 · 02-25-2007, 09:02 PM

Nice fleet man!

84 400 · 02-25-2007, 09:20 PM

nice grouping it would be cool if you still had the black cheyenne in those pictures. My favorite is the Blue bonanza somthing about that truck it just looks perfect to me.

**Palf70Step** · 02-25-2007, 09:22 PM

Very nice looking fleet. I do love the blue color!

boatpuller · 02-25-2007, 09:55 PM

that's a sweet lineup........first thing i thought of was that "group hug" saying.

Restrorob · 02-25-2007, 10:30 PM

Gotta agree with the rest....SHARP fleet !!! And yeah...I'm a stickler for blue also.

f.monroe · 02-25-2007, 11:10 PM

Thanks guys . The blue truck is my favorite . Ride and drive cant be beat . A/C is all new , tilt , tach , pretty clean factory interior . I have to confess that the other side of the truck doesnt look so good though . When I bought it it had been ran down a gaurdrail by the Original owner . I put the lower valence , front fender ,and rear quarter on it from another truck . My wife hates the truck . I am gathering parts and trim so I can get it painted . The blue on it is the original paint and I hope the new paint is about the same color . It is Mariner Blue . I will have them use the factory paint code . the truck is pretty clean since it had a camper and was owned by an elderly gentleman . Frank

Restrorob · 02-26-2007, 12:05 AM

OK Frank, Don't leave us all hanging.....Why does your wife hate the truck ?

Was it one of those "Behind her back purchases"

f.monroe · 02-26-2007, 12:37 AM

Just because it has a brown fender and quarter panel . She has only driven it once and that was because she had to haul something for PTO . She hauled a pallet of Watermelons from the grower to our house . She then took them to town in several batches in her Tahoe from here . The fact that I drive the truck everywhere and always get compliments on it , even though it needs paint , baffles her . Oh well . Frank

moneyeater · 02-26-2007, 08:03 AM

with that cool fleet you must be one of the luckiest guys in the 73-87 world!
I can´t even get one together to drive it!
Very nice!

bigblock73 · 02-26-2007, 09:21 AM

Nicel collection of trucks, I like them all!

Can you give us a pic of the "ugly" side?

Mickey_D · 02-26-2007, 10:15 AM

Even if the entire driver's side was caved in, it would still look better than my '81!!

I would be proud as hell to drive any one of those three anywhere!!

Slonaker · 02-26-2007, 10:34 AM

Nice collection.

Slonaker

Texasdeere · 02-26-2007, 12:38 PM

Looks Great! Nice collection you got there!

I need to put new springs on my 78 Bonanza and get it out of the weeds.

jpoutlaw · 02-26-2007, 03:22 PM

Like them all but am partial to the shortbed.

84 400 · 02-26-2007, 04:03 PM

Frank, does she hate the other two? By the way i have always wondered what do you use them all for? is the blue your daily? the buckskin your "sunday driver" and the 87 is /.
after looking at you list i just am wondering what you use them all for you sure got alot of vehicals and GM!!!

heck and if they are all "nice weather drivers" i can't say i would blame you. they all look really nice.

f.monroe · 02-26-2007, 04:17 PM

I will get some more pics of the ugly side in the next couple days .
As to what they are used for ......I dont know except that the blue one gets driven most . That being said I probably dont put that many miles a year on them . I drive the 2005 2500 service truck about 60 thousand miles a year .

Staceydude · 02-26-2007, 06:07 PM

They all look great Frank.

Regards,

Stacey
