Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
What a clever way to get members to reveal their age. I'm not even old, but there sure a lot of youngins on here!

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
Just shows how deep this hobby goes. The General certainly got it right with styling in 67 IMO. The after market guys love it too. I don't feel old till I look in the mirror. These 56 yr. old eyes can't believe it sometimes.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
When my '71 was new I was 22 years old, recently back from Viet Nam and just enjoying being Stateside again. Bought my '71 in '85 and have had it since. Lots of memories, money and beer have gone along with it.
Pretty sure that makes me an "ol' timer" but I still play with cars and trucks. '71 4x4 long bed - '71 Chevelle - '57 2 dr. post

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
Since I have multiple trucks from 68 to 72, let's just say I was a big negative 17 when my 72 was built. I wasn't born til 89

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
Until I got to the last page I was beginning to think everyone here were kids.
When my truck was built, I was awaiting my orders for Nam.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
Sincerest thanks to all that served, or currently serving.
They were still issuing numbers when I started high school. I was 10 in '67 I had been driving our '54 1/2 ton around the farm for a couple years by then...not big enough to throw hay bales yet! That '54 Chevy had a chrome grille and bumpers. Dad found it in a junkyard for $100 (no title) and brought the six cylinder back to life. I remember sitting on the inner fender well looking down the cylinders while my brother-in-law was running the hone through.
