Re: Vintage picture thread
Found another one of old blue. Kinda liking the blacked out grille and headlight bezels.
Hopefully I'll have a better way to get slides processed soon.

Re: Vintage picture thread
If you are referring to the photobucket pics, that's on photobucket's policies, not on this site.

Re: Vintage picture thread
This picture was taken somewhere in southern California in early 1973.
I bought that truck new, here in Arkansas. I sold the truck in 1976, but the little cutie is still hanging with me and letting me buy 67 72 trucks.

Re: Vintage picture thread
From around 1990. My dad's 71 still had the original rockers. My dad wasn't a car show kind of guy, but my mother was, and she won a trophy at every show she entered.
BTW, he sold this truck in 1995 for $8,250. I still don't know why I didn't buy it.

Re: Vintage picture thread
That's the back yard at Chevrolet Flint Assembly during the 1979 model year. Line 1 was pickups at 60 jobs/hour; Line 2 was Blazer/Suburban at 36 jobs/hour for a combined total of almost a quarter million vehicles per year.
I told the story one time about how vehicles would get lost out there, sometimes to the point that we would re-build a new vehicle with the same content and ship it in place of the original. The lost ones usually turn up at model changeover when production ceases and the repair backlog gets worked down. I think that photo demonstrates how that might happen. Here are the rest of the photos taken during that same shoot: http://www.73-87.com/7387info/Assembly%20Line.htm K

Re: Vintage picture thread
How about the 1980 model year when the economy tanked? I assume a lot lines were shut down. IMO, Chevy trucks were never the same since then, new era was all bout computers, aerodynamics and lightweight components.

Through no fault (or planning) of our own we rode a wave of prosperity and growth up through the early 2000's. My theory is that as passenger cars got physically smaller (and less capable/durable) trucks and truck wagons moved in to fill the void. Profitable truck products bankrolled all of GM up until the unpleasantness of 2008. K
