To Ironhorse and 71shortbed's step dad. My girl would give you anything if she thought it would make you happy. Her family is a tribute to this country, absolutely beautiful people. The guys that went to viet nam are partially responsible for them being here. And you are heroes. You saved lives. You saved beautiful lives

My stepdad had a girlfriend in Vietnam. He was quite fond of her. I guess there was a break, and the last they met he asked if she had a boob job. She explained how it was a miracle from God. I recently saw a newspaper print of he holding a small Vietnamese boy in a sht storm. I'll have to ask about the event, because it sounded important. Anyway, the picture tells quite a story. There was fear in the eyes of the others, but his concern was comforting that little boy. Honor defined.

My daughter was in Taekwondo. Turns out Grand Master was a old friend I hadn't seen in decades. He's Vietnamese, fought in the war as well. He's 9-10 degree black belt. Probably weighs 90 lbs, and all good character.

Pretty sure my '70 was assembled in march or april of '70 so I was already 21 to 22 months older.

Three years old when my 67 rolled off the line and five years old when these trucks got my attention. American made and Chevrolet was in me then, now and forever.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?

Won't ever forget, I was 21 coming back from my second tour in Viet Nam. You could buy a brand new SS 396 Chevelle for under $4000. Sure wish I would have bought one and stored it. Same with the Z28 that came out that year.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?

My truck was sitting next to my office window for a month when I decided to ask the guy to move it. When I saw the truck was registered on my date of birth, I immediately bought it and became a square body nut.

So answer: I was exactly 0 years old at 18th of june 1980.
