Re: Vintage picture thread
All original when I bought it. I put exhaust, wheels & tires, and a stereo in it. We made new curtains because originals were dry rotted, and had new cushions made throughout the camper. When we took it to the North Rim of Grand Canyon the lady who ran the campground even took notice and commented on it being the nicest one she had seen. And it spent it's life in PA! It really was a sweet truck and I miss it. I had it from '88-'04

Re: Vintage picture thread
We had a cabover camper growing up! While traveling in Canada and Northern US we used to put our butts up against the upper window and people would flip our parents off!!! My dad just thought it was because we were from California!!!

Re: Vintage picture thread
It's been a while and I photo'd another old print. Not your digital image most are accustomed to these days. This was 40 years ago.

Re: Vintage picture thread
1974 picture of my future Mother-In-Law with their '71 Suburban...with 5 girls, a regular station wagon just wouldn't do!
1976 picture of a dirt bike trip taken to the Lake Elsinore CA campground (same '71 Burb)...future Father-In-Law was very cool to let us borrow it for overnighters (and very trusting of his daughters???). Yes...that is a '70 Boss 302 Mustang hauling a three-rail motorcycle trailer!!! Woody |

Re: Vintage picture thread
40 something years ago, I bought an old chevy from a local cropduster company. It was retired and used as a cattle hauler and abandoned a few miles from my childhood home. Its not a 67-72 but it is a chevy. It was my first pickup build. I'm sorry that I don't have an after shot of it, but I painted it light blue and white. I sold it when we got married in 82 and it was still on the road in the late 90s. Havent seen it since. As a side note, the 56 ford beside my Dad's building received a chevy 327/t350 when I put it on the road.

Re: Vintage picture thread
This 1961 Apache was my 1st vehicle in high school. Photo taken 12-23-78. Just set my newly purchased used "tall" tires next to it to see how it would look.

Re: Vintage picture thread
A photo that my Dad took of my Uncle Ellis (cowboy hat) his sister Ione and their Brother Richard with the 71 GMC that I have owned for the past 15 or so years.
![]() I'm not sure when the photo was taken but am thinking over 30 years ago and maybe 40.

A great photo just having them all together. I saw trucks displaying vehicle weight on the lower front of bed on driver side when I traveled out west after HS. I got back home and did that on my truck. People around here always asked what that was about, why I did it, and such. At some point they stopped doing that on western trucks, too. I always thought that was neat, although I never looked into the official reason it was done/required

Re: Vintage picture thread
Thanks Tim, it was a cool truck...not a show truck but still pretty nice for a school boy and I was very proud of the ol girl. She treated me well, didnt like fast shifting as was the case with most 3OT's.
It still holds a huge sentimental spot in my heart!! |
