I can't pick, I want both, but do prefer 67-72's. Only had 5 2wd's and 2 4wd's twice each one. Still haven't had that style Blazer yet...yet.

Installing new stereo with Bluetooth for my Ipod use and phone. Will be a nice change, newer is better...sometimes.

Well Bill ;

I'm old and I've had and worked , more trucks than most ever will so I know a tiny bit about light duty trucks and these '67 ~ '74 trucks are real trucks yet they ride like cars and with *very* little up grades will easily tear up those winding back roads and canyons I love so much .

Plus , they're roomy and well ventilated , hot or cold .

I do love those Advance Design GM trucks very much indeed and I loved my Square Body '76 GMC C2500 but , these '67 ~ '72's seem a better trade off .

I could have bought that nice low mileage '92 Chevrolet 1500 Fleet Edition with the V-6 , F.I. , automatic overdrive , 60/40 , seat rubber mats and near perfect white paint all for $1,500 *but* I have to feed & fix it as well as log 800 + miles every week in it so I chose the (for me) better truck and for the same reasons I'd choose yours .

I keep telling folks : there's a reason Chevrolet was the most popular car/truck in America for many decades and this was back when I6 engines were fitted to 4 out of every 5 units sold .

I rest my case , now go drive and enjoy your fine old truck , don't make too much fun of those poor sap brand "F" & brand "D" guys , they really don't know any better .

[mud.man.rj]

They can say the F brand sells the most trucks...but that doesn't make them as cool or any better. What truck holds it's value the most..Brand C, D or F, ya you all know.

[magwakeenercew2jh]

Mud and Nate, I'm with ya both.

On a *today* note, I took The Boss for a ride over to the kids' place.
A real grandparent thing it was, too. A bunch of home-made cookies on board.

She didn't get to ride to or from the show yesterday in RAT. She came in the car for scheduling reasons.
She said she was sorry that she didn't get to ride the 45 miles over there, and the 45 back.

So, today I turned her favorite station on the satellite radio (I usually hate the station...but this was "her ride").
I said, "Come on." "We'll take the truck."

We rode over and back. When we were pulling in the driveway on the return trip she said, "I love this old truck."

It made putting in the new radio worth cluttering up the floor space. She "loves this old truck". That was cool.

Adjusted brake rod and installed new boot for rod in firewall. Got oil leak on intake stopped, changed oil/filter. Transmission pan was leaking, solved that issue and topped off all the fluids. Adjusted carb, installed new fuel float and sending unit and got water temp. gauge to working. Truck has been setting for 2 years. Getting truck ready to attend GoodGuys in Charlotte on Friday. I will finally after all these years have something to drive inside like the other members.

Got fan powder coated and new AC delco fan clutch

My grandson took a couple of pics of the truck while we visited the family.
I'm headed to ECE tomorrow to get a set of bags for the rear. I'm only going to run Schraders and the bags for now. Going to drop it 1.5" more in the rear to get it "flat".

[mud.man.rj]

In the weeds Mag, come on make the sparks fly, just kidding. Do you have room to drop it more yet, looks so good rt now.
