2 trucks at show and shine - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nova_Cobra64 · 05-25-2003, 08:11 PM

I went to the Canadian Tire show and shine in Yorkton today. There were 2 of our year trucks there. Nothing special, just stock restos but still really nice. There was also a 4x4 that sits at a hotel all the time. I think after seeing some of the junk people take there I won't be afraid to enter my truck one day. There was a 67 Impala SS convertable there with totally rusted quarter and huge dents in the side with some remains of the bondo that fell out. There were some cool cars there, but I didn't have time to take pictures of all them.

I turned a lot of heads when I left though. I was parked quite a ways away originally and drove by where all the people were when I left. I had the truck idling at about 600 RPM and it really runs rough with the cam. My friends said about 75 people in a crowd of 120 were all gazing at the 69 as we went by. Pretty sweet.

Thanks for the pics. Hmmmm, no Chevy

All of them examples put my truck to shame

That is a nicely done copper LB, but for a show truck with a badly dented right inner fender, and leak stains on the master cyl., dont go with the rest of the money spent.

Sure wish I owned the long step 4X4, that needed to win first in class

dtlilly- you are one picky guy! Man I'd hate to have you as a judge at a car/truck show- that copper truck looks to me as a good clean restoration, maybe not a "100 point" vehicle for sure but I'd be willing to guess the owner of that truck drives it lots(but maybe not in the winter) and is rightfully proud of it.Just my.02
