Re: Trucks in the Wild
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!

Re: Trucks in the Wild
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.

Re: Trucks in the Wild
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.

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

Re: Trucks in the Wild
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.

Re: Trucks in the Wild
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.

Re: Trucks in the Wild
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.

Re: Trucks in the Wild
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.

Re: Trucks in the Wild
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.

Re: Trucks in the Wild
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. :-(

Re: Trucks in the Wild
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.
