Not my Truck - a Photo Safari - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Great shots! There's also tons of 60-66 Chevy and GMC trucks all over the place here in California, too. I always hear the Ford commercial bragging about how many of their trucks are still on the road, but I have to seriously doubt it. I honestly see WAYYYYYY more Chevy and GMC trucks out on the road still working than any other brand. And if you want to really prove a point, there's thousands still in people's backyards awaiting attention. Most Fords have long since been sent to the ol' wrecking yard in the sky.

I agree, but for some reason when I do see a 60's vintage Ford it seems to have a lot less rust than our chevys. I guess they got junked for other reasons.
