Anyone wish they had one back?

f.monroe, where do you find all these jems? THAT TRUCK IS STRAIGHT OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

[f.monroe]

I had that truck I think 2 1/2 yeas ago . It came from Iowa . I shouldnt have sold it but.......I did . I think I am going to sell my tan truck soon but the black one was probably the one I SHOULD have kept . Someone once told me that there will always be another . I want to do a bigblock truck and dont think I want to mess with the tan one . I am going to find another cab for a 77 that I have had since Highschool and build it . Frank

Wish I would have kept the Woody, I really miss it.

My first real truck - '84 long bed GMC Sierra Classic given to me by my dad when i was 16. Got a new Z28 in 1991 and lost interest in the truck at the time - freeze plug blew out and i ended up practically giving it away to get it out of the yard.

16 years later and the Z is long gone, but i'm still playing with old trucks. Hope to build one up as a mild custom and give it back to dad someday in the not too distant future.

How about one that got away? There are a couple I would like back, but not as much as I wish I had bought this one.

My wife thought I was nuts ( she's right) but I could see this one growing in value considering what I could have bought it for..

Ken ,
How long ago was it that you thought about that truck ? Also ,it looks to have the Mandarin Orangish interior that I have only seen (in person) one time. I would have probably tried to buy that truck even if the wife wasnt on board . They say it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. Frank

Frank the pics are dated 2004. I had someone interested in buying my 77 so I went looking for a replacement. I found that one, but my 77 buyer backed out after he heard my price.

My wife didn't think I needed "another" truck, and a Blazer, and a....

Jeff, If I had bought that truck I posted above my plan was to make it a woody....

That was the first truck I ever did body mods on. I can still remember how bad the tailgate warped when I filled it.
Tossed it in the trash and filled another.
It was a quick learning curve on welding thin sheet metal. Everyone gave me a hard time about painting the truck black.
I figured "if I can get this looking right in black anything else I paint should be a snap!"
Snap...snap...snap...snap....

I ended up shooting it twice before it was done.

It was a cool truck for it's time. I truly miss it.

I wish they still made those rims. I had a 71 Camaro that had those, back in my mullet-wearing high school days. Those would look incredible in 17".

Here's a couple I wish I had back... especially the 84' Blazer. The pics are fuzzy too...

Thanks,

f.monroe, stupid question, but is that the origional tailgate? id love to have one for my 87 with the letters across the back like that

I know it aint a chevy hehehe, but I sold her to buy the black 87 that sits next to the 78 ford. That really was a great truck. I don't care what anyone says, I think the 73-79 fords were just as good as the 73-87 chevy. Driving the 87 is much more practical, and my gosh the ride, startups, fuel mileage, and all the goodies a silverado has, makes it much more pleasurable to drive. The ford was a fun truck, but me being 18 years old with a p/t job, it was getting expensive. I am glad I have such a great truck to replace the ford. This 87 is awesome!
