Found another cool related photo of the same Olds dealer from back in the day...Cool C30 & Cutlass!

Winthrop, WA (1973) - B&W are archival and the color is a Postcard celebreting the transformation of the city into a Western themed smalltown

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 10-02-2025, 10:54 AM

My stepdad of their last 22 years was a trip. He had a real high IQ, wrote, broadcasted, Lt. Colonel - would have been full if not a General if he wasn't a rebel and played the game. He had a vocabulary second to few, even with dementia, who knew...

He was my best friend right, and always told me he owned a 1975ish square body (emphasis) Chevy, similar my C10-C20s, when he lived on his farm. He liked to talk about our trucks.

Soon after he passed I rec'd this, he had forgotten he owned one of the same era as mine. If you ask me now, his dementia may have begun before I even met him. One with his square body too. He built his house with rock found on the farm, I'll bet he used the 68 to haul it.

Stumbled across a couple of pics. Probably already posted here on the board somewhere, maybe even in this thread

A dead one by the looks of it.

Drove a car carrier for 30 years. That Astro with 8 full size pickups would have been a real tough load to put on!

Here's one for you, me and him on his old Case.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 10-26-2025, 09:48 PM

How do I post some of my old snapshots?

cbeerman · 10-26-2025, 09:54 PM

I took a pic of the snapshot with my phone emailed it to my computer, cropped and uploaded it. I'm sure it could all be done on the phone but that's beyond me.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 10-26-2025, 10:09 PM

I have had to use my cellphone pix to upload to the forum by tuning in 67/72chevytrucks on Google. My old Sony digital camera will not talk to my HP Laptop. Maybe Windows 11 thing IDK.
I was hoping for a platform with better resolution.
Also sometimes, my mobile device pix present sideways on this forum.

That's awesome. Yep, that pic definitely gets to the middle of me. Two of my favorite things are granddaddys and tractors.

Found this pic of my 72 c20 working hard back when my grandfather owned it.

Can you hear the Bonanza theme song when you look at this pic?

Looks to be colorized, but still kinda neat.

I lived in Charlotte around when that photo was taken but I don't remember that gas station. Looks a little too rural for Seigle Ave. That street was in the downtown, built up area. Cool picture though!
