Great post...

They always ask, "what year?"

It looks old I suppose.

"How old is that Truck, what year was it made?"

All the time.

Usually with many compliments and such - thumbs up - big smiles.

Re: whats the question you get asked most about your truck?

The best one was a carhop at Sonic"Is this a Hearse."
Me "No.I couldn't get anyone to ride with me when I had my Hearse"

When are you gonna cut some windows in it?

Why did you fill in the back windows.

A presumed "car guy"(notice the lower case) "They didn't make Panels that new"

Re: whats the question you get asked most about your truck?

I had a guy say nice truck, Then ask if it was a ford or chevy, I told him it was a dodge. He walked off scratching his head.

Re: whats the question you get asked most about your truck?

Usually it's...."Wow that's a nice Truck...what year is it"?

They only use that line, to Segway into how THEY'RE
gonna do the same thing with their Cousins Truck, that's out in a Field that he promised them! They produce "Verbal Diarrhea", and steal 20 minutes of your Life that you'll NEVER get back.

Re: whats the question you get asked most about your truck?

Yea, i know, I got a 1967 my brother promised me. I'm putting a 502 crate motor in with a 8-71 blower, and a 6 speed tremic. We are going to shave the whole truck and have it chrome plated, and the mask off some flames and paint them with gold leaf. My dad has a wrecked lambo, we are getting the rear end and buckets out of it. I'm doing my bed just like yours, only better, because I'm using beryllium rails and runners. my moms brother is giving me some Asian birds eye maple for the wood, and my brother law is helping install the drive shaft and gear venders Overdrive.......and where did you get those wheels? because I'm getting a set just like them, only made out of titanium and platinum plated.

Re: whats the question you get asked most about your truck?

#1 most common is "what year is that old truck?"

Usually accompanied by raised eyebrows as I'm pulling another car or have it loaded to the roof with firewood
