100 Years of Chevy Trucks- Are you a "Legend"? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**FirstOwner69** · 10-13-2017, 12:01 PM

Periodically, I receive emails from Chevrolet. Here's a link from the one I got today. Contains a couple pictures of one of our trucks. I'm wondering if the truck in the featured picture belongs to a member.

Be sure to click all the links. How many of us are "legends"? By their definition, I am!

That's really cool! I like the touches on the Centennial Edition truck, especially the classic Chevy bowtie. For me, though, they missed the mark on the advertising photos with the C10. I would have found a more faithful rendition of a stock truck, maybe even a 50th anniversary truck. The one they chose doesn't even have the right bumper or wheels on it! That's just picking it apart from a C10 enthusiast though. I'm sure the people who put the ad together didn't even have the slightest clue about the originality of the truck they chose.

Oh, and I am not a legend because I've never owned a new Chevy.

71sierragrande · 10-13-2017, 01:31 PM

Not I. My 2008 is the only vehicle I've ever bought new, and it's the only vehicle I've paid more than $6,000 for. I doubt either of those two things will ever change. And yes, how could they miss the obvious choice here of a stock 1968 50th anny? Hard to believe

JMC1965 · 10-13-2017, 01:55 PM

ANDY4639 just got his truck on the Legends ...

I just did a quick look see through there. I saw a lot of board members trucks.

Not sure how you get in, but its kinda cool for the guys that have submitted their rides.

**davischevy** · 10-17-2017, 10:42 PM

I just posted about a truck in Legends. My son in laws dad, Cornel Thompson, is in this months edition.

I’m a legend I haven’t posted any pictures of my trucks yet though. If you go to the legends website there’s a place where you can register. You and your truck have to meet certain criteria but it’s not hard. You’ll need your vin and mileage. You supposedly get a free hat and some decals a month or two after you register.

OregonNed · 10-18-2017, 04:52 AM

Awesome site! Thanks for the link. Someone sent me an email about the 100th anniversary edition a few weeks ago. Pretty cool! I submitted my truck and story this morning.

**special-K** · 10-19-2017, 06:58 AM

I don't think I qualify, unless my '95 Suburban qualifies me.

Thanks, yes it's pretty easy to enter.
More than likely the two trucks where people who worked for Chevy are the group who put this Legends together for them.

68panelman · 10-20-2017, 09:22 AM

I don't qualify. My trucks have under 100k and I never purchased or leased a new Chevy truck nor do I plan on it.
More media propaganda. Hats are available online

Keith Seymore · 10-20-2017, 11:20 AM

I added a couple of my trucks in there, just now.

Ekliptix · 10-20-2017, 02:51 PM

That's really cool. I added my C10 and qualified. It sounds like they're going to mail me something in 6-8 weeks!

**davischevy** · 10-20-2017, 10:08 PM

I will be entering.

**RodnRudy** · 10-21-2017, 08:37 AM

I registered my 68 C10 and was accepted but they put the picture under 1968 Other. I can't seem to be able to edit it to the correct place.

yuccales · 10-21-2017, 01:36 PM

Looking forward to ordering a couple of the tailgate bowties. Think they will look great on the toolboxes and ?

Dad's truck was used on the family farm in the Midwest for various chores all of my life. Fed cattle, hauled firewood, brush and fence mending tools, etc. The first highway vehicle I ever drove and learned to drive in. Since Dad passed, I brought it to my home in CA where I am attempting to stop deterioration and upgrade safety items while preserving its originality as much as possible. Despite rough appearance, never missed a day of work in its life, just like Dad.

takes a few days, you'll get an email confirmation when it's posted and your swag is ordered..

my 65 is one of the first 10, have to scroll all the way down now

They stuck my 68 pic in the other truck section, don't know why.

they're grouped in years by 10s so early 67-72 styles mixed with 60-66 styles.. then divided in mileage groups, with some pretty lofty claims I might add.. would've been nicer to divide them up by generations.. but the 19yo IT geek that set up the web page probably hasn't ever seen any of them

you may be able to check your profile if you can find it to make sure you didn't typo somewhere.. may be able to edit if you did..

good luck!

**Steeveedee** · 12-14-2017, 11:46 PM

Never having purchased or leased a new Chevrolet truck, I'm out of the running. meh, whatever. I like the thing, anyway. I'd like to think that no matter how it came into a person's hands, it could be a legend. It has over 215k miles on it, with a lot less maintenance than may be believed. I rebuilt the front end 2 years ago when I upgraded to disc brakes, and it had the original ball joints, tie rod ends and bushings. If that ain't legendary, I don't know what is. Rear springs and diff are also original, but I'm anal enough about wear that I will be putting new rear springs on, soon. The originals are pretty worn, and I'm not waiting for a stress crack to give me an unexpected drop in height.

57taskforce · 12-15-2017, 12:45 AM

If it has 215 on it you qualify. Don’t have to buy new or lease.

My brother got his stuff yesterday. I still have yet to get mine and i registered before him.

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 12-15-2017, 01:04 AM

Basically my original truck at the 05-06 mark. Difference is I had big camper mirrors, no lowering molding and mine is a Custom Deluxe.

71cheyennesuperlongb · 12-15-2017, 01:12 AM

Never bought new or leased but my 71 super has over 400,000 miles so I qualified. Got my package today.Cool stuff inside.Rear window sticker 200,000 300,000 400,000 miles,Chevy legends stickers,decals, baseball like cards of different year Chevy Trucks.Even thebox was cool. Had different emblems,badges and old and new bowties all over the box.The hat is first quality, and like they said MADE IN USA! Great Job Chevy Legends folks!.Their website has some cool stuff to order from.Check them out!
