well i am sry to some of you people that i work two jobs go to school and find time to restore my 72!!....here is what i came up with so far

History of Chevrolet Pickups
Chevrolet has introduced many different models of pickups throughout the years. Not only have they upgraded in style, but also in functionality.
Chevrolet has a slogan that goes along with all their truck. It is called, “The Heartbeat of America”. Between the years 1918 to present day, Chevrolet has been the top seller in light trucks in its line of production. General Motors referred to as GM, was the company that built the line of Chevrolet pickups. A reason for people loving trucks made by Chevrolet is the fact that there is so many to chose from. Chevy trucks are seen being used on the farm or being used to travel the roads everyday versus any other pickup truck. Some trucks have more value than others, but all work alike.

Yeah, been there and done that. Sorry if I seemed to come down on you. Burning the candle at both ends has a price to pay. For me, it was going to college at night, raising a 2-year old by myself, and working 40+ hours per week. Oh, throw in weekend drills and you got candles with four wicks!
