69 Workhorse
I got to BSin with this ole boy at the lake the other night, said he bought this truck in 1974 when he retired from the Airforce, Thats the same year I was born! It has been through 3 motors and currently has a 454 in it, he said it has been constantly in use since he bought it, he pulls a camper with her, and uses it around his ranch in Gooding Idaho. Tough old truck, neat story I thought I would pass along!

Re: 69 Workhorse
Cool story.It`s always impressed me how so many of these trucks are with thier owners for so long,if not since new.

Re: 69 Workhorse
I always enjoying hearing stories like these. They give these old trucks some real character and well deserved respect.

Re: 69 Workhorse
Its like they say, "they still make em, but they dont make em like that anymore". I bet my 02 Tahoe will be in the boneyard or crushed well before its 20th birthday let alone its 40th.
