Not my Truck - a Photo Safari - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've bagged some shots from various encounters in my area. It's really amazing how many of these are still out there.

What's in your neck of the woods?

Windows broken out, still in decent shape, C-20

1963, I think. Interesting flatbed conversion, eh?

Long expired tabs, but looks pretty decent - I think it wants to go to work!

These are all within a couple of miles of my house - near major arterial streets

Great shots! There's also tons of 60-66 Chevy and GMC trucks all over the place here in California, too. I always hear the Ford commercial bragging about how many of their trucks are still on the road, but I have to seriously doubt it. I honestly see WAYYYYYY more Chevy and GMC trucks out on the road still working than any other brand. And if you want to really prove a point, there's thousands still in people's backyards awaiting attention. Most Fords have long since been sent to the ol' wrecking yard in the sky.

I agree, but for some reason when I do see a 60's vintage Ford it seems to have a lot less rust than our chevys. I guess they got junked for other reasons.
