I am 22 and have had the bug for a long time. Before I was even in Kindergarden I had cabbaged on to a '46 ton and 1/2 truck that was in our back yard until my dad scrapped it. And because I got mad at him he pulled his old '69 Nova Drag Car out of the junkyard it resided in and gave it to me. It was like a playhouse for me when I was a kid and I still have it and it will be restored someday. My first real running car was my '78 Malibu I bought when I was fourteen and still have, now restored and given the proper hot rod treatment and featured in a few magazines. I drove a '84 2wd lwb Silverado when I was in high school and sold it when my dad starting talking about selling his '72 4x4 that I grew up riding in. I sold my '84 and bought the '72 and drove it for a while. Then I bought my namesake car 85 Monte SS and use it as a daily when it is not nasty out. Most recently I started building a drag car out of a Second '78 Malibu that I bought that will get the .30 over 454/ and 400 turbo that I built. I have my own house with attached two car garage that houses my two "done" cars (original malibu and monte ss) and parts, Rent a shop with a buddy that I am building my drag car in, and still have stuff in my dad's shop as well. When I get my drag car going I am going to start a restoration on my '72 4x4. Owned many more cars in there as well, but I just listed the classics and the keepers.

I just turned 23! I've had my '70 cst/10 LWB since I was 17, it was my first car/truck. I never plan on getting rid of it either. I grew up around these trucks and have always had something for them. I've had alot of fun/memories in this truck and plan on doing the same for the years to come! Here he is...

I dont know about you but i dont want these trucks to die off they are probably the sexiest trucks ever built. and i know the old timers want these trucks to last as well. plus it would be nice to find people my own age to work with sometimes.

23 here, purchased my beast 8 months ago. i've always appreciated older GM vehicles. I've been picking away at her now but soon as I get a garage i'm planning a restoration.

The new generation of kids are a bunch of jerks, and have no appreciation for classics.

MattyBs71 · 03-24-2011, 04:47 PM

I'll be 30 this coming Nov but I still feel 18. I had a 69 in highschool and my current 71 I got three years ago is my dream truck. Never gonna let it go!

dandansuperman · 03-28-2011, 07:21 PM

I just turned 28 and finally got the truck I have wanted since high school. I just finished the 4/6 drop kit from ECE this winter, along with front disc brakes. I wanted to stay old school with a modern touch so I went with torq thrust wheels in 20". I am just getting started on this bad boy. I plan on spending a lot of time and money in the years to come.

I am 25 now but I have owned my truck at the begining of freshman year in high school and have been slowly working on her. She has been my daily driver this entire time.

timjt · 03-29-2011, 01:31 PM

awsome truck Ihatericeburners!!!!!!

6772owner · 03-29-2011, 01:32 PM

Awesome looking long bed buddy! I love the white tops now that I painted my 72' that way, hope to get all the body work and paint done for real some day. Keep on truckin'

Keller · 03-29-2011, 01:45 PM

I'll be 27 in July. My '72 has been my daily driver for about a year and a half now. Hate to say it, but I'm starting to feel like I'm on the top end of the "Young Bucks" category. Where do I go from here?

Bowtie1216 · 03-31-2011, 12:09 PM

Right here!!

6772owner · 03-31-2011, 12:24 PM

Keller, You just keep on truckin', learn from the past, enjoy the experiences you've had and pass it on to the next generation!

tdp67 · 03-31-2011, 03:37 PM

You're only young 'til you get old. Enjoy every minute to the fullest!
