Terrible pic, but I snapped this with my phone as I was leaving the shop tonight. It just struck me as interesting.

It would be even more interesting if that Blazer was in my shop instead of yours ,or any of them as far as that goes .But yes ,cool pic .

PM headed your way!

Son in law lays claim to the Blazer. 383 stroker, 350 turbo, rear air. It's handy for hauling the grandkids.

Blue and white Longhorn is my daily driver, big block, 700R ps, pb and air.

I've had the red and white super since October of 1988. I did a fame off build on it to original. since added Dropped spindles and springs. I am in the process of putting the wheelcovers and whitewalls back on it.

I will trade you my camera for any one of the three so you can take better pics

I drove that red and white one thru your area a couple years ago on my way to Goodguys Des Moines from Gatlinburg, TN. That was quite a trip from here to Gatlinburg, to Des Moines and back.

What's in the other half of the shop?

**Boog** · 02-18-2015, 12:02 AM

That's a nice big shop Larry. Great looking trucks. Eclectic, yes. But there is one model missing, a short step side.

You know, thats interesting. I have owned pretty much all the models over the years, except a stepside. I've got some short fleets out back, but no steps.

Cleaner than my boss' shop

The fuzzy picture adds to the dream-like image

Obviously I took the picture with the same camera.

pritch · 04-02-2015, 11:25 PM

Very cool, but definitely not eclectic. At least to my understanding of the word.

**davischevy** · 04-02-2015, 11:31 PM

I just thought from Websters definition, a Longhorn GMC, dropped 2wd Blazer, restored big block Corvette, and an all original Mercedes might qualify.

2eclectic

noun eclec·tic \e-ˈklek-tik, i-\

Definition of ECLECTIC

: one who uses a method or approach that is composed of elements drawn from various sources : one who uses an eclectic method or approach

**special-K** · 04-03-2015, 12:11 AM

Nothing more ordinary than multiple Chevys. Eclectic would be a bunch of goofy crap like bubble cars that open in the front, Amphi-Cars, and other odd ball stuff. That first picture looks like a dream with the fuzzy focus and all

**davischevy** · 04-03-2015, 09:10 AM

Yeah, I guess the "drawn from various sources" does kind of shoot my theory down.

**Boog** · 04-03-2015, 12:05 PM

Cheese it. It's the grammar police!!!😉'

**davischevy** · 04-03-2015, 12:16 PM

Boog, it's not hard to pick at my grammar.

SO many cool rides....

Eclectic? OK, so I had to look up the definition. Still not sure, maybe in a philosophical sense?
