Really fine Longhorn. You did it up just right. The wheel treatment is classic truck!

Elliot949, PERFECT!

haysonj · 06-16-2016, 08:16 AM

First picture is a month or so after I brought it home from Arizona in 2005. Second one is at a local car show last year and the last one is my favorite with the boat in tow.

flipper58 · 06-16-2016, 11:03 AM

First is picture of day I brought it home, not so long ago in November 2014. Next is how it looks now.

I'm really liking the wheels. Info please?

BB72CHEVKT · 06-16-2016, 01:56 PM

Back when she was my daily. That is a picture of a picture. The real pic was probably 1995 or so.

**Jason Banks** · 06-16-2016, 02:10 PM

Here's my truck with the original owners. I have some other photos from later years also. It's amazing that these are still with the truck 48 years later. I looked up the owners name that is written on this photo and also on the protecta-plate and it looks like they still live at the same address.

The gap between the hood and the passenger side fender still looks the same.

Thanks. They're US Mag Ramblers. I'd like to take credit for it all, but stole the idea and dimensions, including tires, from Walker. Discussion here includes sizing, etc.: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=703676

Numbers below.

18x8 in front with 4.5 backspace
18x9.5 in rear with 5.25 backspace
255/45/18 in front
295/45/18 in rear
tires are Nitto NT-555

The day after I drove it home from Idaho

There is no way I could ever get bored looking at this pic! Very nice!

I really like the pictures of your tucks I have seen and that is one of the reasons I have kept mine the way it is. I"m a huge fan of stock trucks. I am struggling with keeping the split rims though.. I've had two flats over the past two weeks on opposite sides of town. When you get a nail or screw in a tire that is on a split rim the flat is instant. Most recent flat, on my way to work this morning and its a darn good thing I had last weeks flat fixed asap or I would have been S.O.L. Someone posted a pic of a Longhorn with vintage deep dish aluminum slots on it a while back. Now that I would do.

aboesec10 · 06-17-2016, 08:28 AM

right before i loaded it up to come home in 2010
you can even see the 67 clip in the bed!

And at a show about a month ago

I'm flattered. Maybe you just have good taste, too

. Yeah, sometimes practical upgrades are called for if you want to drive around freely w/o concern for complicated situations. We run radials and those were never offered on these trucks, so why not bead-seal 16s? I have a set of '67 GMC hubcaps, which require the clip-style wheels, which will be split rim for 16". I hope to find a set to cut hoops loose from centers, and rebuild using 16 x 8 hoops. I'll gain the 8.25 x 16.5 look, get away from split rims, and still look pretty much stock with no drawbacks...and have something no one else has done. Not so sure on that, though. Story of my life is someone with more money than me comes up with the idea and executes while I dream on

3drburb · 06-19-2016, 10:24 AM

Shortly after I got it and now.

Thank you! However, really need to break out the old slides and see if I have any vintage shots without the camper.

Taken at a cruise in at Falls Park in Pendleton In, My little girl in the pic is now 34.

**davischevy** · 06-19-2016, 10:04 PM

This pic is circa 1983. Original truck I bought from the original owner. I traded it for an HVAC system. Of course at the time, I had a hugger orange and white 72 super that was even nicer.

**davischevy** · 06-19-2016, 10:23 PM

Sorry. I missed the "current pickup" in the title.

i'd love to see more pics of your truck!

Hoosier Rick · 06-20-2016, 01:34 AM

I'll see if I can dig up more pics. For as long as the truck has been in the family, (my dad bought it in 1980) I don't seem to have that many pictures. It is currently stored in a friend's barn. Hasn't been on the road in years.
Originally 283, powerglide, manual choke, man steering and brakes, cloth seat, side trim, full wheel covers. White front bumper.
Currently 305 HO,700r4, factory a/c conversion, power steering, power brakes, aftermarket cruise control. 90 Silverado seat (new take out) Has genuine GM replacement rockers

sharpmark · 06-22-2016, 12:09 AM

bought in 2005

and this is it now - used nearly every day

davem815 · 06-22-2016, 12:12 PM

Here is vintage picture of my dad’s ’71 C20 taken somewhere around ’85-’87. Dad bought the truck in ’74.

Here is the truck as is currently sits, awaiting restoration.

Add here is a portion of the original side boards that was on the truck when my dad purchased in in 1974. This spring, I found this side board as part of the back wall of the shed behind the truck in the second picture. (at my mom’s house, dad passed away in 1987). I also found the original 307 that I assumed had been scrapped.

Leonard1 · 06-30-2016, 09:39 PM

Here you go, Tutone. Is that you leaning on my truck in the second pic???

Could be me, not sure. I know I spent a lot of time in that tobacco patch. Good to see some paint squirted on the truck. I cant wait to see it finished.
