So who got a truck yesterday!!!

I was at Safeway last night, it's a regular saturday night show, and I met a young man and his dad, they just picked up a '68 (?) Chevy long bed for his first car.

I don't know which part is the coolest, that he got himself a new truck or me knew all obout this site.

So chime in dude.... congrats on the truck!!!

I always happen upon a 67-72 when I'm not in mine, and when I ask if they know of the site I get strange looks. Happened this weekend when heading up to Waco, and found this badass red big block 72, sitting on street

Saturday I came up to another badass 72 though:

Re: So who got a truck yesterday!!!

Having a truck that won't run 55 in first gear (at only 5000 rpm) would be nice at times. Like all of the time... except the couple of times a week I am above 60mph. Just thinking about what you said Tim

I woulda lost, it was meaner than me. Just cruised side by side for a mile or so before he went another way than me.

Although, on the way up to waco I saw 15 or so 67-72s, everything from rusting in a field to parked at a store. If I goto college up there, the CST10 would be at home.

Congrats on the truck man, nice ride! If I can help with anything, let me know!!

It is so cool meeting people with our trucks, especially when they are board members.
