Entered in the Twin Cities car show today with my old 1 Ton. Out of 480 some entries I got Best Truck 1 ton and over. Couldn't believe it. Still think it was some mistake.

Stillookn no way are you ever getting this truck back now!!!

krue · 06-26-2005, 10:25 PM

Congratulations!

Congrats! Makes a man proud doesn't it?

**oldiron** · 06-26-2005, 10:39 PM

Now I don't know if I want to haul that load of cow manure home for the wife like I promised last week.

**tnblazerk5** · 06-26-2005, 10:50 PM

**oldiron** · 06-26-2005, 10:52 PM

ne: CONGRATS!!! Great truck!

If I could be so bold as to make a suggestion I would say that your wife would much prefer a box of chocolates or maybe some flowers??

Dick Dale · 06-26-2005, 11:28 PM

Now thats a truck. Most of the other truck, if anything like the carshows buy my house, will probably never have anything put in the bed again.

BraveDave · 06-26-2005, 11:31 PM

Give yourself/truck more credit! I used to be in a street rod club and when it came time for us to pick our club award, we always went for something unique and different rather than the 75K outlaw-bodied '34 chevy. I am sure you are just as proud of that truck as anyone else is of their car or truck. That is a fine example of Chevy history and you have every right to be proud of it.

knsmodels · 06-27-2005, 12:14 AM

Looks like a great truck....and congrats.....

stllookn · 06-27-2005, 12:22 AM

HEY OLDIRON...CONGRATS!!!!! I couldn't help stuffing the ballot box for my old truck...JK! I knew it was going to a good home! Check out my post...I was busy this weekend with the SCORE OF A LIFETIME!

BTW...you better lock that bad boy up 'cause I am coming to get it back!

69 Short Fleet · 06-27-2005, 12:28 AM

I love your truck, way to go on the show! I use my truck for hauling stuff also (I just use blankets & tarps & take my time loading stuff) and have fun with it.

RED72blazer · 06-27-2005, 12:50 AM

Awesome truck! great to see it used for what it was designed for.

**Joesjunk** · 06-27-2005, 01:11 AM

That is one nice looking truck!!!

Castiron9 · 06-27-2005, 01:23 AM

Congratulations....OLDIRON....Your truck is one of the flatbeds that has given me the inspiration to keep working on my dually flatbed.Dump bed going in one of these days too............Oh yea I second "Sillyoldman" too.............Flowers or chocolates...............

stllookn · 06-27-2005, 01:51 AM

Sillyoldman and Castiron9...actually oldiron's wife would prefer that he just restore her truck or her '55 so she could win a few shows...LOL!

**Palf70Step** · 06-27-2005, 05:36 AM

Congratulations. I love your truck and that you aren't afraid to use it also.

**Yukon Jack** · 06-27-2005, 04:19 PM

That is a great truck and worthy of that award IMO.

I'm not much of a 1 ton guy, but I've always loved your truck.....you should give it more credit! Congratulations!!!

1STtimePRo'71 · 06-27-2005, 09:33 PM

Impressive. Here's to another win next year!

bagged91 · 06-27-2005, 09:43 PM

Congratulations! It feels good taking home an award when you least expect it. I took first in class with my 73' Nova SS yesterday at a local show. I haven't had that car out in years, really surprised me.

Gramp'sGold70K20 · 06-27-2005, 09:54 PM

Probably not many of those trucks in that great condition. Congrats!
