I'd love to see that youtube video of your truck. I'm 25 now and when I was in high school I drove my grandfather's '68 that was passed down to me. I also have 2 friends who drove old Chevy trucks. One was a '50 and the other was a '87. All of our trucks were blue and we were like brothers so I came up with a name for us, The Blue Brothers. Those other kids at your school are just jealous because they don't have as nice a ride as yours. Here's a pic of me and my friends trucks in high school. Unfortunately someone ran into both mine and my friend's '50. We are planning to rebuild them though.

i agree that they are jealous i like your trucks too..id bust in tears if somebody ran into me heres my video...it shows my engine a little but....the truck has 13,000 miles on the engine and trans....its an automatic and i take off from a dead stop and floor it i can do a second gear tire squeel and take off agian its pretty cool.....

YouTube - 1972 Chevrolet C-10 Flowmaster 40...

liek i said im 17 right now..and about 3 years ago my dad had a 67 shortbed stepside 6 clylinder.. 4 speed trans...hardly any rust if it had rust it was surface rust but it was a beater the paint was chippin and everything...and he bought i for 700 and sold it for 750....gosh i wish he wouldve kept that truck...even if it didnt look that good i want it still... after he sold it he found out how rare those are in my state

[Chevyman680063]

I definitely want those Flowmaster 40 series on my '63 now. My grandfather bought that '68 brand new from the local Chevy dealership in the fall of '67 and I still have all the original manuals and everything else that came with it except the window sticker. It pissed me off when that guy hit me because the truck was straight, there was only minor surface rust and a few small dings in it, but more importantly it was my grandfathers who died of cancer before I was born so I never got to meet him. He taught my dad how to drive in that truck, my dad drove that as his first vehicle until he could save up enough to buy his own vehicle, my mom and dad dated in that truck, and I learned how to drive in that truck. I had to get another frame for it from a 67 short fleet and am gonna have to replace the front sheet metal, hopefully I can salvage the hood and grill. It has the original 250 inline 6 with 3 on the tree and I plan on keeping them in it.

It's like a lot of things in life......act like you know what you're doing and people will treat you like you know what you're doing. No...Seriously, I guess it's just a matter of being at the right place at the right time. Real late at night or extremely early in the morning there isn't a lot of traffic out and you can do pretty much what you please. I've had LEOs ride past while I've been out in the street with a tripod and they have yet to stop. Although I did have a security guard at Opry Mills mall in Nashville tell me I wasn't allowed to take photos in the parking lot.




I'm not sure if this thread was supposed to be all 67-72 chevys........If so, forgive me!

[67_C-30]

OH NO YOU DID'UNT!!!

Fords on our board. SHAMEFUL!!! SHAMEFUL, I tell you!!!

[tim21391]

chevyman i would be pissed... hope everything works out when you rebuild it... but my parents bought me the 40 series flowmasters for christmas from autozone... its was like $75.99 for one and i needed two of them...i already had dual pipes running out the back so i just took them off and then i took my old dynomax mufflers off and put these on then i put my pipes back on..and took it to a muffler shop so they could put my new stainless steel tips on because i dont have a welder....the two tips costed me $80 for stainless or you can go cheaper and get chrome but chrome will rust eventually...he charged 20 bucks to put them on so in all for the new mufflers and new tips the grand total was only $250..i only paid 100 parents paid 150

[Chevyman680063]

Yeah, I was super pissed. I'm not a violent person but I wanted to tackle that guy. He was in one of those tuner cars. You should have seen his car, the door panels popped off, the dash came apart from the firewall, one of the seats was knocked off its mounts, a light on one of the fenders popped out and was hanging on by just the wire. This is what his little tuner did to my truck. I was blamed for it too since I was turning left even though I had a witness who said he changed lanes after I was already halfway through the turn and he was speeding, so all repairs are coming out of my pocket. The cop who wrote up the report said he didn't see what happened so there was nothing he could do, I was like, "Isn't that why there's a thing called a witness?" Sorry guys for getting off topic, now let's see some more pics.

same exact thing happened to my old 66.... long story...same damage...mucie 4spd and the same stroker i have in my 72...

[tim21391]

dang that is some damage done to these trucks a.k.a moving wall of bricks.... this might sound bad but if he already hit me and everything and the impact was over and he was still hooked onto me id try to make him spin out and get more damage to his car...sorry if that sounded mean but thats what the pecker head deserves....i was backing out of a stall from school last fall..and nobody was behind me then i go and hear a crunch and tires squeel i backed into a car behind me...the dumb driver had some damage on her car already and seen me back out and then stopped...i was writtin on the report.. improper backing for "not seeing" her i was pissed.. did 0% damage to me and did 1300 bucks damage to her...i was pissed though shows you how much people want to rip you off so long story short just cuz she wanted to get hit in the spot where she had damage she mademe pay the money.....

The Tahoe has a pretty good reflection to going on the back.

The coke sign has a pretty cool story behind it. I'm guessing it was probably painted back in the 50's (?), then some time later another brick building was built right up against that wall. About 8 years ago the building burned and when they demolished it they uncovered the old coke sign that noone even knew was there. Thats why its still in such good shape for being as old as it is. These pics werent taken at night, but they're just ones I've taken next to some of the old painted signs I've seen around town. Primer always looks better in a black and white or sepia tone photograph lol.

WDRTHIRD- those pics are awesome!

For some reason all of seeten's pics are red x's for me, I can see most everyone else's. Is there some setting on my PC that causes this? I'm computer stupid.

[wdrthird]

Thanks guys. I like to take pictures, but I never really tried to take them at night. Seein all the cool pics in this post inspired me to try. Hopefully there will be more.

That's an interesting name for a BBQ joint! The Character with the bottlecap on his head was used in advertising in the early 40s.

Here's an evening shot next to the first Coke sign that was ever painted on the outside of a building.
