Imperial Kustom · 07-19-2009, 03:22 PM

I am a 25 year old whippersnapper here. Been building 60-63 trucks for 8 years now.

DWright · 07-19-2009, 10:02 PM

Well, i'll be the ripe old age of 40...in another 15 years! I love being young! Plenty of time for me to f**k something up!

someone should make it a sticky

BC Pappy · 07-21-2009, 08:34 AM

"50" years old. Purchased my '65 Chevy on 7/28/06. Drove a '53 International in high school. (1975-1977)

bigwavy · 07-21-2009, 12:08 PM

53 years old. Never too old to learn from you younger fellas though. I have a 64 long big window and a 65 short big window. These trucks are very much underappreciated and this group is the best. You guys keep me involved with my project by your willingness to share info. Thanks again.

aggie91 · 07-21-2009, 09:12 PM

I am 41 now, got my '65 for my 16th birthday from my Grandfather who bought it about 7 months before I was born. I had the truck redone my senior year in HS and he wanted it back...He pasted away in '96. I will never sell this thing, my oldest son wants it, but I think that I am not done playing with it yet...He is only 12, so he still might change his mind....

4dranch · 07-21-2009, 09:20 PM

Very cool story Karl, Got any pictures of your rig to share with us??

aggie91 · 07-22-2009, 05:37 PM

I don't have any pictures of its current state, it is not a pretty sight...long story. Here are some from 1992, this was after the 2nd redo, complete frame up while I was attending college.

About 3 months after those pictures, it was vandalized to such a point that it would require more work than the insurance company would cover. I messed around with it, then family/work/moving/kids, you know took over and it has been sitting since late 1999. My plan is to start back on it this year in the fall. We'll see....

rickf · 07-22-2009, 06:11 PM

I'm 52. Have had the Chevy C10 stepside since 1981.

Grandma bought the truck new for Grandpa's birthday in 1964, after secretly saving "spare change" for some two decades, literally in a box in the closet.

daverod · 07-22-2009, 06:33 PM

Gota love the stories of the good old days.

mbgmike · 07-22-2009, 06:35 PM

Old enough to drive brand new 1965's on the highway. They were the first trucks I drove

*LILRED66* · 07-22-2009, 11:48 PM

44 years and counting...My first truck in 1981 was a black 1965 Chevy C10 lwb fleetside truck, followed by a red/white 1966 Chevy C10 lwb fleetside truck in 1983. I was born in 1965, so I have always been partial to the 4-5-6 Chevy trucks, especially the 1965's.

The photos are from 1981 and 1983, respectively. I sold the black one to buy the red one. I kept the wheels/tires from the black '65 and put them on the '66.

I am 27 and born and raised in Baltimore, Md. I have a connection to my truck also. It was also built here in Baltimore. Cool huh? It just sucks they tore the factory down a couple of years ago.
