Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

I got my '69 from my dad when I was 25. It was my grandfather's before then. I'm 30 now and the truck is blown apart for its 2nd frame off!

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

My first truck was when I was 16 and it was a 72 camper special with a 402. Now I'm 37 and have a 71 Chevy 1/2. I think once you have one you always got to have another.

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

My first truck was a 69 GMC that I bought when I was 17. I just recently bought a 72 GMC which I will restore to near original. I am now 51.

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

Dirt is my younger brother! I have had my 69 SWB about 2 years, my Blazer about a year. Like a lot of other guys on this great board, I have owned more Chevys that some of you young fellas are old !!

I will also add that I am damn glad to see an interest in our trucks/Blazers by all of you young guns!! Don't loose the passion.

oh yea I am 54

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

I bought my first one when I was 19, still have it but shes just sitting for now. And just bought my 67 at 24. I will be 25 in feburary and plan on buying another one soon. Wish I would have got one a LONG time ago, for as much as I have put into all my other vehicles I could have one really BAD A$$ truck by now.

I'm 41, have had my 67 three years. I drove dad's 70 3/4 ton for the first time when I was 12. He sold it before I got my license. Need to get mine on the road!

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

My parents bought my 69 second hand, in 1977. I bought it off them in 1987, when I turned 16. Have had it since. Hasn't seen too many miles the last 10-15 years, but I have gotten the bug to work on it, and drive it again.

I bought my 1968 when I was 15 and was driving it when I turned 16. I am now 35 and still driving it, not every day but I did put 2400 miles on it this year. I also had a 1971 for a couple years and a lot of parts trucks including 3 that I still own. I also have a buddy that is 59 that has a 1969 Chevy C10 stepside.

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

I got mine when I was 35 in 1995. My friends laughed at me for driving a "old beater". After I built the motor they quit laughing.
