My father just found these in his scrapbook

This was my grandpa's first 73-87 out of three, it was bright cherry red at one time

My uncle was speeding home on a gravel road when he lost control and slammed into a feild entrance hill in the ditch, he hit it at over 60 mph. Upon impact he was sent through the windsheild halfway across the field, at which point the truck flipped head over heels several times landing upsidedown. My uncle managed to drag himself home and mumbled something about the milk cow before passing out (he was very very badly hurt, my father and his family thought the milkcow had her way with him before they found the truck on the way to the hosptial) When they got to the hosptial they didn't even bother trying to save him he was so badly injured, but after three days of him passing in and out of conciousness they finally operated and repaired him best they could back then, and he started massive reconstructive surgury. He is still alive with three kids and a wife today, and still drives like a maniac, lol

Just thought these pictures were pretty incredible...

After this they bought my 76 GMC, then the 80 GMC after that.

This is a picture of my father's first Camaro that he got when he was 17, he had three of them in total, the next was a 80, and then a 82, not sure what year this one is, I think it is a 78 though... His 80 was green, and the 82 (his best one with the vette engine in it) was jet black

I've got a set of four of them that were on the 76, either that, or the 76's wheels came from that red truck...
