Re: How old were you when your truck was new?

I was 4 when my 70 was built. I too have a "soft spot" for old Chevy/GMC trucks. Thank goodness I also have eighty acres to park/hide them all...
Some are running, some restored, some parts. I own 17 trucks. My oldest is a 1970 GMC, and newest is a 05 Duramax Crewcab.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?

I was 18 years old when I bought Moose. I was -10 when it was new. Dad had a '71 4x4 olive and white...I think it is still cruising around Sheridan, WY. He sold it for his '78 4x4 swb that he still has, still trying to coax it out of his possession.

My '71 was on the road 13 years before I was even born! I would way rather have a old one than new one!
