Re: Vintage picture thread
Seeing these old wrecks is really sobering when you think about that very few people used seat belts then. And the state of trauma care was nowhere near as good as today's.
On a different note the first photo in post 1029 appears to have been developed with the negative flipped. The stop sign is on the wrong side and the truck is damage is 180 degrees from the next photo. I wasn’t able to determine how the wreck happened from the photos. Truely sad to see the C10 totaled but the Lemans too.

Re: Vintage picture thread
The photo with the deer shows an interesting ball hitch attached to the center of the front bumper. Very useful around trailers and implements, such as boat ramps and farms.
Throwing that deer up on the hood reveals the utilitarian nature of trucks: the owner isn't worried about the shine of his paint.

Re: Vintage picture thread
The red 72 K10 shorty is my Dad's. The various pics are from the early to mid 70's after he bought it on trips into Mexico.

Post 1048, The truck backed up to the pond with the equipment mounted in the bed looks like a mosquito control vehicle with the fogger at work. Was familiar with those back the day.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Great pictures. Dad got him a winch! I like everything about that truck. Every accessory and all. I miss those tool boxes. They were my favorite. Dad had great taste in everything he did. He was in the know when it came to that truck, a no BS get out there western truck.
I probably showed this one I had a short while while living in AZ. This would have been '80 or '81

Re: Vintage picture thread
Here is my 1970 Blazer in May 1976 at the inaugural Caton Community Days event. At that time, it wore a modified Federal Visibar with added beacons.

A few 1973 or newer vehicles in that shot, such as a Nova, Ford F series, the Chevelle, and the GM trucks

Re: Vintage picture thread
At the same event, here is the town's 1969 K20 "unit M15" in the parade. I personally sat in this truck in 1993, when it had just over 9000 miles. It was painted slime green at that point. It was then sold off to another small local fire dept., then I lost track of it.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Recently found this 1977 photo of my future father-in-law in serious “repair mode”…all he needed was a couple of sockets and a BF screwdriver
!Besides his ‘71 Suburban, you can see my best friend’s ‘70 Boss 302 Mustang in the background…boy, those were the days! Woody |
