My dad bought a 72 custom deluxe 10 lwb fleet new that was also dark green with a white top, 307 auto, ps pb coil rear no Ac. It was his daily driver but also pulled our bass boat on weekends. In 77 or so one of my older brothers talked him into trading it on a 73 or 74 black with red interior Cheyenne super 10 with a 454 auto loaded, leaf rear. It ran like he'll but obviously drank gas and was not as good of a truck overall as the 72 and didn't ride as well. I will see if I can find photos next time I go back home.

I love these pictures as it reminds me of how keeping things simple was better than all the new(supposed to be better) things we have today. Everything now is built with a service life mentality instead of back then being built to be repaired and last forever.

Watched Smokey & The Bandit yesterday. A GREAT movie - shows MANY of our trucks!

Things today are engineered to withstand a specified numbers of years before wearing/breaking down. We are that advanced. I'll keep my truck thanks.

There's already a thread on ads & literature. Plenty of "vintage" in there.

As far as vintage photos of members' vehicles or those of others',I have some I may have not shown (I fell asleep last night looking through this thread to see).

Here's my '71 Custom Camper/20 back in '89 when we went to northern New Mexico,s/w Colorado,northern Arizona,and southern Utah:

Looks like they're already wheelie-bar equipped!
I'm willing to bet not one of those cars in that picture is around today.
