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.

Been working the last 2 weeks in Walla Walla, so 5+ trips back and forth to and from.... I've caught a bunch of AD trucks in their natural state along the way. Tried to take pics but may have missed a few.
1st is Fuel truck 8 to 10 miles north of Walla Walla. Next is in the tow truck in Washtucna. Last is the grain truck about 9 miles miles north of Washtucna. So close , but so far away. The last truck says "You're in wheat country". And the 1st & 3rd were taken at about 60 miles an hour. The tow truck was last licensed in 74.... when Expo 74 was happening in Spokane. Still towing until then.

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.

fecklessgadfly · 05-22-2017, 08:00 PM

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'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.

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.

KQQL IT · 05-23-2017, 12:02 AM

Car show stuff.

*randy500* · 06-23-2017, 11:37 PM

I hate that color combo but I like either as a solid or with white, very cool truck though. Love the old bed cover, slots and old school exhaust. Window vent shades are cool too.

*randy500* · 06-23-2017, 11:38 PM

Cool that it's mot "lowered" too!

tristan · 06-24-2017, 06:57 AM

Saw a 71 or 72 Cheyenne pass me in Myrtle Beach yesterday with a "For Sale" sign in the back window. I couldn't catch up with him to get the number or picture. :-(

RINC · 06-24-2017, 01:35 PM

A few of my C-20.

hewittca · 06-25-2017, 09:46 PM

Went to a birthday party at a local park and this bad boy was sitting in the parking lot. It was rough around the edges, but just how I like 'em.

weq92f · 06-26-2017, 12:00 AM

While out with the family I spotted this one...
