I'm loving these last few posts. This is exactly what I wanted this thread to be. Trucks just sitting in a parking lot, or moving down the road. I love that we're still using these things. Trailer queens may look good, but this is what these trucks were built for. Thanks ya'll, and keep 'em coming!

**HO455** · 05-12-2017, 12:02 AM

Caught this one today leaving HF. I have seen it on and off in the neighborhood for at least ten years. Sorry about the poor focus. I guess I should wash my windows.

I saw this one yesterday, sorry for the long sideways shot

Dwyert4 · 05-12-2017, 08:34 PM

A nice 68 i saw today in the grocery store parking lot.

tommys72 · 05-15-2017, 05:22 PM

Saw this truck this past saturday, turned around to snap a pic. Last tagged in 07 and is actually in pretty good shape.

72LB · 05-15-2017, 05:50 PM

A friend is working on this.

**Oregon 1967 GMC** · 05-15-2017, 09:02 PM

Was able to catch this one trying to blend in while I picked up my Chinese dinner.

This counts right? It's Dale Jr.'s hauler for his NASCAR graveyard. I guess that makes it a hearse? Pic from NASCAR.com

fecklessgadfly · 05-22-2017, 08:14 PM

Found this one getting groceries the other day. I know I took a pic from the back, too. But, I can't find it right now. If I do, I'll post it too. Owner was real nice. (Of course, we all are, right?).

It's got a side mounted spare with a nice cover, and a chrome rear bumper I really liked.

fecklessgadfly · 05-22-2017, 08:20 PM

Ha, I knew I'd find it. Phone saved it to the internet for some reason.

vancelot69 · 05-22-2017, 11:37 PM

Not sure if this is the thread to post these on, but I couldn't find a thread to post up craigslist (etc.) finds like the thread in the 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy forum. If this isn't the place for it, I can delete the posts.

Saw the stepside a few days ago in a FB group, not my truck, in Hood County, Tx.

The blue C is also not mine, and I saw it this afternoon on the drive home on 26 in Colleyville, Tx., turned around to get a couple pics in case anyone was interested. edit: If you can't zoom, the sign in the blue one says it's a '71 for $21,500, 817-308-5054.

I recently (about 3 YA) sold a '68 Buick Skylark GS that was painted approximately these colors. NICE! Before my wife agreed that the new shell could be taller and have a flip-up door for loading sheets of plywood, I considered buying a long bed stepside.

I'm perfectly fine with those pictures staying on this thread. The more cool truck pics the better.

Here's a link to the thread you were looking for though.

This reminds me of my days shooting for "Big Cat Diary" I was fortunate to catch this rare breed "Sierra Grande" trying to hide behind vegetation at the Home Depot.

Nice find. My kids have been hooked on Big Cat Diary for the past few weeks. That's pretty neat that you shot for it.

I'm just kidding about working for "Big Cat Diary" which I like too but they haven't made any new episodes in a decade probably. I was getting into the character for trucks in the "WILD."

Haha, you had me fooled.

**Oregon 1967 GMC** · 06-03-2017, 05:19 PM

Scored a twofer. One outside Starbucks and one in a lot, don't know how much "Affordable Classics" wants for it. Both at the end of the Oregon Trail in Oregon City, Oregon.

**70cst** · 06-04-2017, 01:43 AM

Old Tractor Dealership ...

**70cst** · 06-04-2017, 01:44 AM

I would indeed call this the wild ...

**HO455** · 06-06-2017, 02:45 PM

Just one of the 6 or 7 I've seen this week.

**Oregon 1967 GMC** · 06-10-2017, 09:29 PM
