What did your truck do today...
This thread has been real closely beat on for years,but I had a moment and thought about the garage without the'67 in it. Instead it my son's girl freinds 2000 blazer.She is driving his Iroc! He is driving the truck.Problem is He likes the truck more than me,I do believe!!! He fills the gas tank,Hauls things that newer truck could have been used for,etc... Problem is I like it!!! Hopefully I have inspired another 67-72 truck guy!!!

Re: What did your truck do today...
This thread is "what did your truck do today", not "what did you do to your truck today" . There's already a "what did you do..." thread. Nice work all the same!

Re: What did your truck do today...
Sorry for the play on words.Don't want to start arguments. I like reading,seeing(pictures are worth a thousand words I've heard) pictures. Thank You Saclandman I enjoy it. Brings back memories whenever I get drive it. That is kinda why I don't want to restore it right now. It would be tear it apart and let it sit for 10 yrs! I repair as I go, one day it will be unrepairable. Then restored hopefully

Re: What did your truck do today...
Now you're all getting it. I think sometimes the passion for our trucks lets them control us, instead of the other way around. Mine has not returned yet,hopefully it has not run away!

The HUD is just a I phone app for now. I'm thinking about buying one to hard mount in the truck though.

Re: What did your truck do today...
I was speeding! Lol.. 5am in the morning out in the country. The Iphone app lets you set it up for 4 speed limits. I had it on 60MPH since for the most part it's 55 MPH roads.
