How many 67-72s are on the road? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Lots here around Saskatchewan. Farmers bought lots of em. Their kids and grand kids just keep dragging them out of quansets or from behind the barn where they've been sitting for 20 years. My driver,which looks like crap now because I've been driving it for 10 years, was an original 14,000 mile truck when a family friend bought it about 15 years ago. I bought it about 10 years ago with 62,000 miles on the clock (about 140,000 now). They keep turning up. There is a nice red 70 GMC Sierra Grande kicking around town with 15,000 original miles and I think the guy wants 15 Canadian for it. Lots of nice restored stuff around that come out for cars shows and cruise nights too. I see many decent driver trucks every day here, and I mean many.

IMO, I would say that you see more 67-72 chevy trucks than any other classic vehicle, (I'm in Texas). Here at least I think 67-72 outnumber other classic vehicles 15+:1 If not much higher.

I see several a day, most are just trucks used for daily-driving, and a few are beat up work trucks. The one thing i have noticed, is that 98% of the time, a 67-72 owner dosen't own a 67-72 because it is "just a truck to drive around", they own one because they want to drive a 67-72 around, instead of any other truck
