Just had to smile - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

casey · 02-25-2003, 01:23 AM

I noticed that just about every time I go out, I see atleast one of the 67-72 chevys one the road, isn't that just freakin awesome, makes me smile, these trucks will stand the test of time, they seem to fit in today as much as they did back then.if your truck could talk, the stories these old girls could tell.does this just happen to me, maybe theres just lots of theses trucks in my area.

pissonNOS · 02-25-2003, 01:28 AM

Happens just west of you too. Im always driving admiring or thinkin what i could do to those truck that are still in need of restoring. It is nice to see something 30 years old still driving and I dont know if the rest of you notice or not but we all have that addiction to wave at each other !

72CustomCamper · 02-25-2003, 01:29 AM

YES! YES!

Up here in the rainy corner of the world, they are EVERYWHERE! I stare at every single one like i've never seen anything so cool.

Chevy Wrench · 02-25-2003, 02:15 AM

Every morning I see this guy in a decked out 69 swb. we're talkin 20" wheels and shiny black paint. When Im in my 94, I always try to race him just to see what he's got under the hood. But he always turns off before I piss him off. Lots of 'em around here. Most have plows hanging off the front of 'em though. Still nice to see the blue bow ties.

67cst · 02-25-2003, 03:18 AM

casey i agree, i see at least 6-8 different ones a day

lpaine · 02-25-2003, 12:30 PM

I notice them all the time, and now my wife is getting in on the act, she often sees them before I do! "Look," she says "Theres another one!" I love that woman.

MandarinSixSeven · 02-25-2003, 12:39 PM

Can't wait till its warmer here and we will be seeing at least two more here!!!

two 67 short/steps cruisin' eh Derek?

orange72 · 02-25-2003, 01:45 PM

thats kinda funny about waving thing..i thought i was the only one that wanted to do that.

Jason71k10 · 02-25-2003, 02:40 PM

By all means, WAVE! i used to own a jeep and when i first got it other guys in jeeps would wave all the time....then i finally caught on. From brand new ones to old sh!t boxes, they all waved. I just wish I saw more trucks like mine to wave at

...maybe it's just where i live??

mtdave2 · 02-25-2003, 02:45 PM

casey · 02-25-2003, 10:06 PM

Ipaine you got a real soul mate there, awesome

krazy_texan · 02-25-2003, 10:54 PM

i not only wave at them but if i have the time a chase them down and try and talk to the driver about his truck, but most of the ones i see around here are lwb or suburbans which happens to be my 2 favorite types

67cst · 02-25-2003, 10:58 PM

when i had my 72 fj40 landcrusier we all waved, and if one was broken down on the side of the road you had to stop and offer a hand

67cst · 02-25-2003, 10:59 PM

oh and benson, guna be sweet when we are cruisin, roll up to the lighs and get a ricer in between us on the 3 lane highway, that would be so cool ...i bet he would soil himself

lunatic · 02-25-2003, 11:00 PM

Yeah its cool they are checking out your truck while you are checking out theirs,then up with the wave,and you check your mirrors after you pass....

robby · 02-25-2003, 11:33 PM

No joke when I moved here I have never seen so many of our trucks in all my life. A lot of 4x4s. There are two K5s on my block alone. I can walk to a 71 K10 and 3 Longhorns-I never even saw a Longhorn before I came here. Back in Southwest Missouri they are all C10-20 Longbeds. Awsome.

pissonNOS · 02-26-2003, 12:03 AM

Sounds kind of corny but were kind of like a brotherhood mybe one day we can have a sturis somewhere get thousands to come out.

72 CustomCamper · 02-26-2003, 02:25 AM

We have quite a few here in Fredericksburg, there are 3 in my neighborhood alone. Plus I can't count how many I pass on the road. No I just need to get a starter so I can get mine back on the road. I just wish the d@m^ starter wasn't $200.

casey · 02-28-2003, 03:02 AM

I seen 3 trucks on the job site today, theres still a lot of work trucks out there.I got to get a digital camera

69 Short Fleet · 02-28-2003, 03:18 AM

Yep, everytime I see one of our old girls on the road I ALWAYS turn my head no matter what kind of shape she's in!!!!

!!!

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 02-28-2003, 11:41 AM
