Holy cow! You're a young man in that pic. How old is your son now?

**davischevy** · 11-18-2017, 12:37 AM

This thread is over six years old and the op hasn't been here in over four years, but the thread is still alive and well.

It was pretty much derailed way back there and got away from the original intent of 67 72 trucks. I can't imagine how it didn't get moved to general discussion.

I went through the whole thread, and it's sad that where pictures were, only gray PB squares remain.

I will have to get my scanner out and go through my archives.

Very interesting thread.

KQQL IT · 11-18-2017, 01:20 AM

Dad's '68 and his CJ-7 then and now. Sure is weird being able to drive either one.

Jeep was sold in '80

Old blue in '86.

And both of them came back home this year.

Almost 26. That would have been 93 or 94

Yeah, it started in '02 before I registered. Back then it was all one big happy forum and 67-72s were still the main focus. I guess when things got broken down to body styles they left it in 67-72 since it's mostly those. Photobucket sucks. I'm no computer expert, but couldn't they have just stopped all free sharing from the point where they made the change earlier this year? They use ransom tactics hoping to expand their income and I see it as a shot to their feet.

I think that is fantastic. Not only found them, but now own them.

This was about '86

**special-K** · 11-18-2017, 09:00 AM

That was just last year, August '16. Here is an older one

KQQL IT · 11-18-2017, 01:27 PM

Plan is to race the jeep in the Norra baja 1000 next April.

This shot is from 1989.

A friend of mine had this truck for years and loaded it with options. He sold it to my mailman, who drove it for a few years.

I gave $1,800 for it, stripped the options, slapped the lacquer paint on it (It was super straight and rust free) and sold it for $3,500.

I couldn't get rid of the truck fast enough, cause I didn't like it. Now I feel like an idiot. Yeah, I know, I look like one too.

$1,800 and tow hooks are advertised now for $750.

Somebody flip the pic for me. No matter what I tried, the picture flipped when I downloaded it here.

Friend of mine passed away suddenly at the age of 61. Previously unknown congenital heart defect of some kind.

Steve and I worked at the GM Milford Proving Ground together. Many of us heard Steve say, on more than one occasion, "...after I'm gone I want you to run my ashes through a Chevy big block, running at 4000 rpm. I want to see what the inside looks like." He even reiterated with one of his buddies: "you're gonna take care of that, right?"

So - we did. At the end of the service they fired up his '72 Blazer, which has a 396 in it, and ran it up to 4000 rpm, while pouring some of his ashes down the carb throat. I cried a little.

He was a hot rodder to the very end.

That's cool.

I have told my wife and kids for years, I wanted my ashes dumped on the gas tank Of my SS 454 Chevelle so I could feel the power from the inside.

That's neat shot. I love the camper and rear wheels on the tow rig.

Is the pick up pulling the horse trailer a 2wd? it sure looks that way. Im always impressed when I see what used to get done in 2wd - both for car and trucks.

grumptruck · 11-18-2017, 11:07 PM

Here are a few more of my '67 on the job. Sent to me by original owners daughter. maybe from the early - mid 80's?

**68bowtie** · 11-24-2017, 05:50 PM

Came across this online the other day. I'm an engineer so this is pretty cool.

My GMC's in 91-stepside was bought that day. Both sold, now I'm a Chevy guy

**special-K** · 11-25-2017, 08:53 AM

Nice pair of GMCs.

dfwright · 11-25-2017, 11:30 AM

Here's a picture of mine from 1980 or 81. You'll have to ignore the skinny teenager in front of the truck. The truck looks better after 35 years than he does.

**special-K** · 12-17-2017, 09:36 AM

That's the truck, too?
