My wife likes my black/white 72 LWB better then my 71 SWB 4x4!
The 72 drives like a Cadillac compared to the 4x4. I keep telling her that's the price you have to pay for beauty (rough ride).

She has decided that she might as well like them 'cus they ain't going nowhere.

I think i'm in love LOL!

TheMattMan · 06-11-2002, 10:53 PM

My wife would love mine if I had a hitch on it but since I won't let her tow the horse trailer she says its a waste of a truck....I told her to get her own to tow the trailer or hook it up to the covette... so she has a hitch on the vette...lol

*racedvl* · 06-11-2002, 11:03 PM

She wants a Blazer!!!!

GMCjunkie · 06-11-2002, 11:07 PM

I AM the WIFE.... I have my OWN truck!!!

:p

toms68cst · 06-11-2002, 11:37 PM

Generally my wife likes my truck. She gets a little huffy when I talk about spending $$$ on it or when time on this board cuts into our love life. -Hmm time to go now! It's almost 11:00.

colohusker · 06-12-2002, 12:42 AM

Mine understands the need for it, but doesn't understand why I want to work on it. She actually rode in it to the dump last weekend, and said it wasn't too bad, but need to be able to roll down the windows, or get the a/c fixed. Didn't really appreciate the gravel that came up through the rust holes in the floorboard either....

Now, she absolutely hates the '70 and doesn't understand why I wanted another one. She doesn't know about the '72 that I might be picking up this weekend....

CHUCKER · 06-12-2002, 01:34 AM

she used to like it before the accident, but now she just wishes i'd sell it. she doesnt think i'll ever get it back to the way it was. But, i'm keeping it anyway. someday it will be back!!!

My wife quite likes my truck. The truck was origonally bought for our daughter when she turned 17, but she lost interest when she went away to college. The wife resents the time that I spend in my shop or that is a grievance that arises in arguments. I do Willys jeeps too. We are spending this weekend at the Willys swap meet in Toledo. Anybody else from here going ? Be interesting to see how she reacts to two days of geriatric machinery. Did I say that we've been happily married for 26 years ?

BadAzz70PU · 06-12-2002, 09:52 AM

My GF likes my truck, she doesnt mind me working on it or spending money on it. She actually got mad at me for spending money on my car because she said it would have been better spent on the truck!!

dross · 06-12-2002, 11:48 AM

Gotta be honest here. Of the 10 vehicles in the yard the only three chevys are my girlfreinds. The 70 chevy truck, 79 nova (with 60000 miles, from Arkansas), and her 88 short bed stepside.

lux hauler · 06-12-2002, 01:02 PM

No wife or girlfriend here.......my dog likes the truck though

**COBALT** · 06-12-2002, 04:15 PM

HA! My wife still thinks this whole "restore a truck" thing will blow over. She just about fell over the other day when I told her this was a life-long hoby.

RALLY FAST · 06-12-2002, 05:38 PM

i bought my 71 in 96 my wife like the truck ,and she liked driving too. so last year when i bought a 69 short bed for a project she jumped right in. she helped me pull 2 beds off take them apart and build a good one,. then we did complete restro on interior. she also helped me take out front & back windows and put in new chrome& rubbers. she's really my biggest fan when it comes to my trucks, and i can count on her to help or encourageme any time thank you god!

gmc_norton · 06-13-2002, 03:07 PM

MY WIFE IS GREAT... MY GARAGE LOOKS LIKE TEN TRUCKS EXPLODED..LOL .. SHE EVEN GAVE HER SPOT IN THE GARAGE WHEN I BOUGHT MY 70 GMC STEP. IN FACT SHE WAS MAD AT ME FOR SELLING THE 69 BLAZER I HAD AND STILL TEASES ME ABOUT IT 5 YEARS LATER. SHE JUST TALKED ME INTO BUYING MY NEXT PROJECT 71 BLAZER { ALTHOUGH IT WAS TOO HARD TO CONVINCE ME}.SORRY GUYS DON'T MEAN TO RUB IT IN..LOL

tech1 · 06-13-2002, 03:54 PM

My wife loves the Truck..........BUT hates the parts trucks and cars.

Edmond · 06-13-2002, 04:20 PM

Hell Yeah man, it's her Truck

Mixup · 06-13-2002, 05:26 PM

My wife loves it and wants to drive it all the time. I keep working on it so I can drive it. It's in prime and she asks me about once a week when I'm going to paint it. If I do I'll never get it back.
