Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

I'm a senior in high school and i got a 68 long box. As far as i know, there is only one other kid that has a 72. A few kids have 85's and 83's but I'm sure I have the oldest truck at my school.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

I used to drive mine to school about 7 years ago and I also drove an all original 61 Cadillac. All the girls always wanted to get rides in the Cadillac, but this one day I was driving the truck and I offered to give this girl a ride home and she said "okay, what car are you driving?" I pointed to the truck and she said, "no thanks"

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

I got good and bad attention, depends on folks tastes. It's about 90% good attention. The truck sticks out. I was 20 miles from home, and then the next day two girls outside the taco bell near me recognized it as my friends and I were hanging out..

Funny stuff.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

I saw a pretty fine high school age girl today in katy. She drove a 71-72 4x4 long bed in flat black. Why can't girls like that go to my school?

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

This is my truck I rebuilt with my dad and had through high school, class of 2005. Everything was done by us, and was a painful process but well worth it. Enjoy

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

im 15,
own 2 1967 chevy long fleetsides.one 3.4 ton and 1 1/2 ton
and also a 1986 shortbed half ton,non chrome model,carbed.

the 1/2 ton is my main truck.it has a 327,.030 flat topped pistons,camel hump 2.02's,ssi 442 lift cam very thumpy,high pitch noisy gear drive,edelbrock torker intake,holley 700 with mechanical secondaries,hei distributor,accel supercoil,8mm wires,
currently looking for a tunnel ram decently priced,dual or single carb, and looking for some roller rockers.posi 411 rear...bought the truck for 100$ sitting neglected in a yard in mud

its sitting on some free 31's i got on can opener triangle pattern wheels,looks awesome.2wd.thinking about doing a crossmember drop,flip the centerlink,axel under arms in the rear for a lift,try to fit 36's or so
or just lower it dont know yet,possibly rat rod, but all i know is the motor sounds good,and with the turbo 400,itll breake the 31's loose through most of the gears,

its the daily driver/hot rod for when i do even get my liscence,cant wait whoo

i have a 396 hi-perf ratt motor going into the shortbed

YES,i have worked off every bit of money i have gotten into these trucks,even though im only 15.
sophmore.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

I now own a yellow 69 short stepside and a white 72 long fleet, both 4x4.
i just got the 69 800 no motor but one will be in it this weekend and a dmv fee for it being not regristered this year but its worth it.

I have the redneck wannabees and ffa wannabe "ranchers" at my school. They all have to have tan and black '95 broncos along with shiny new work boots and stupid trucker hat off to the side and not actually fitted to their head. But I have to say, i'd rather associate with them than the average new bmw/benz owning kids here. They are real pricks. I am actually a redneck by birth, look up Lumberton, Tx I would much rather be in hickville with trees and land like we had than the suburbia prairie i'm in now. And the typical lifted truck here is a spankin new '09 crew cab half or super duty with 20,000 in suspension, wheels and tires. This guy for example goes to my school, tried to scare me and run me over every day when I have the right away on the main road and he was getting out of the parking lot etc... My theory is that it would be his fault and would help speed up the process of getting a paint job. Plus if he runs all the way over I could get a cowl hood look up the black gmc crew cab on this link and check out the sweet 10 bolt rear he has with those tires.... http://www.extremekaty.com/fig/index.html And if they by chance have dust on their truck from driving by a construction site they leave it on there for weeks to prove how hardcore their big 4x4 is.
