I was 27 and trying to figure out why I traded in my 56 T-Bird for a 72 Mustang Mach1. What a piece of %^&. It couldn't get out of it's own way. I had already spent my 11 months, 21 days, 16 hours in a Viet Nam(Jan67-Dec67). No hero here---just worked real hard at not working real hard. Smoked a bit and drank a bit----still do on occasion!(:>)

1970....I was a freshman in high school. My friends dad had a truck almost identical to my 70 and I could care less. I was building a hopped up Rambler American and Corvair Monza Spyder.

I was a pimple on my Dads a$$ in 68. He was in Vietnam on a boat wrenching Detroits and loading up bodies. But my Grandad had just bought a brand new red 69 Cheyenne LWB.

Well, in '72...
I would have been 9-10. That put me doing major wrenching on my banana bike (ever change rims to get the right gear ratio by undoing and re-installing all the spokes)? Traded something, maybe a slot car for the Tyco raceway, for a set of those handlebars with the big loops on the top before they headed back to the rider. Hard to describe, but really set my bike apart.
I had probably learned that waxing my Dad's '68 C10 really made it look better, and might have been changing oil around then, too. Kept getting in big trouble for raiding Dad's tool box. He took care of that one Christmas. SSOW ![]()

In 72 I was 10, and since it's almost fall, I was getting ready for my first hunting season. Poked lots of holes in the sky with my single shot .410, but the dove, pheasant and quail were very safe!
Dad had his 69 or 70 C10-and I drove on the highway for the first time that year! Gotta love rural Kansas and moving farm equipment from field to field with whatever child was avaialble to drive!

my dad had just turned 16 so i was a ways off but my truck was purchased new by my grandfather in late summer of 72 and i am the second owner. i remember my dad saying he was afraid of the newfangled 4x4 and thought he was going to bust the frontend off of it so he wouldn't drive it much at first then a few months later he bought a 67 4x4 k20 that he painted fire engine red.... i really wish he'd have kept it

In '69 I was a sophomore in h.s. Still had my paper route and worked after school at a local grocery. My father retired in December of that year and bought a new VW bug for $1838.00 cash. I learned to drive a 4- speed in that car under his watchful eye.

Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'.
We're finally on our own. This summer I hear the drummin'. Four dead in Ohio. - CSNY I shouted out, Who killed the kennedys? When after all It was you and me - Rolling Stones And it's one, two, three, What are we fighting for ? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, Next stop is Vietnam; - Country Joe and the Fish Great vehicles, horrible period in US History. Was in grade school/ Jr High and watched a lot of nightly news. ![]() ![]()
