How many trucks in your neighborhood? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mt Al · 07-19-2002, 01:51 PM

Lots and lots around here. At least two others in my very small neighborhood. One's a '68 4x4 that's sweet.

This summer, I've seen at least 5 new trucks around town that I hadn't seen before, 3 of which are totally redone and very nice.

Another thing I see alot are the 2 or 3 ton tow trucks or flatbeds. Quite a few of those modified and/or restored too.

They aren't rare around here.

I think I have more 71 & 72's in my quonset and in my field than there are in the whole town of York, NE now......

My only problem is my weakness to drag or drive these gems home and not sell them.....

*racedvl* · 07-19-2002, 10:08 PM

I pretty sure there is mine, and.......................................

O'l Buck · 07-19-2002, 11:10 PM

I couldn't talk you outta one of those blazers cheap could I??....hehe

I sorta have the same problem

weasel29gm · 07-19-2002, 11:28 PM

There's mine and 2 more on my street,within 10 miles there's another 6-10. At one time there was 5-6 black ones in town, it was wild when we cruise at the same time!! There's not as many as it used to be.

Project1970 · 07-20-2002, 04:13 AM

In my neck of the woods...one of my friends has a '69, our friend has a '70, his girlfriend has a '71 or '72, another one of his friends has a '71 or '72, a guy down the street has one getting built into a crew cab right now, and there's both a lifted '67 or '68 and a Blazer also nearby...each and every one of these vehicles being in good to brand-new conditions...there's one '67-'68 beater I see regularly, and one mutt truck that had a perfect body but got rearended hard. These are only the regulars, too; I know of a few more that aren't so regular, but at least two others, and there's the ones that I see just passing through, at least once a week...

This also doesn't count the hordes of unrestored ones I saw while driving around Tucson on a day trip today.

It would be diffacult to put in numbers how many 67-72 trucks are in my neighborhood!!!!!!

HOTFUN · 07-20-2002, 07:37 AM

Hey O'l Buck In Orleans

My Blazers are very rusty work horses but I do have a nice rustfree 71 2wd shortbox fleetside project body and a driver (donor) 71 Cheyenne C20 complete with factory air and all the correct brackets, shroud, 350 automatic.

I pass the same four trucks every morning on the way to work. There's on 67 or 68 swb stepside that's been sitting next to this one house for 9 years, there's a 69 lwb fleet parked out back of an old Jaguar mechanic's shop, the trucks in pretty bad shape. There's a 70 swb fleet that must be some one's pride and joy that parks next to my office. Then there's the unknown year lwb fleet siiting in a carport with a cover over it, only can see the tailgate

72Lester · 07-21-2002, 01:06 AM

30-40 in town all 2wd, about 5 of 'em for sale
1 4x4 Blazer and 1 2wd
1 2wd Burb

Wasted Income · 07-21-2002, 12:53 PM

In my neighborhood at home there are NO other trucks like mine. Once you head into town (i live about 5 miles out) there are a few. There is a MINT 67 short-fleet that I have just started to see around once in awhile.

Up at school, the blazer bug has hit. Before this summer, I had two buddies with 72 blazers (wheeling rigs). I just found out yesterday that another buddy has just purchased a '69 CST blazer for a wheeling rig. Sheesh...I'm gonnna have to find me a blaze!!

69mychevy · 07-21-2002, 02:19 PM

hey we hav a buttload of 67-72 trucks but mines the only one in descent shape, the rest are beaters and rustbuckets

JHickson6 · 07-21-2002, 02:24 PM

In my immediate area and the surrounding blocks, mine will be the only one. But go looking on a cruise night you can find at least 30. Not bad considering the population is around 750 000.

chevy2inreno · 07-22-2002, 11:04 AM

They're pretty common in Reno. Always see 3-4 a day on my drive to work. We don't get alot of rust here and they're still being used for work trucks and daily drivers all over the place. The one that stands out the most is a very straight and rust free Longhorn bed that's being used as a utility trailer around the corner. Looks to be a 69-72?? and still has all the side trim in nice shape, even the gate isn't bad.

dubie · 07-22-2002, 12:40 PM

I will have to post these separate, I think there are about 5 pics.

This 72 GMC runs a 454 with a 4 speed

This is a mint 68 that the guy is FINALLY driving again. It sat for nearly 4 years.

dubie · 07-22-2002, 01:36 PM

4.

This is a 70, 1 ton with the 9' stepside box.

dubie · 07-22-2002, 01:37 PM

5

And my 72 of course

A.P. · 07-22-2002, 06:08 PM

Here in LA California, there are too many to count. In junk yards alone you can find a few. Its a darn shame, some of those trucks are in better shape than my 72 Chevy.
