Our Camaro with a 68 Chevy pickup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Joe67 · 03-06-2007, 10:56 AM

My dad sent this picture to me this week, I thought it was cool.

He worked at Shalla Chevrolet here in Detroit at the time. This picture is from 1968 on the way to Windsor Dragway I believe. The truck was the dealer shop truck, that is his Shalla sponsored Camaro behind it. The Camaro is currently being restored (slowly) but I thought this was a great pic

Sure is a great picture.I`m savin`it.Thanks

Nice picture, I had a 1968 Camaro, now I have a 1972 truck but no Camaro

PRICELESS PIC!

Joe67 · 03-06-2007, 11:05 AM

Thanks - that is my dad and his brother Don in the picture.

**Yukon Jack** · 03-06-2007, 11:34 AM

bad_turbo · 03-06-2007, 12:16 PM

makes you wonder whatever happened to the truck?

Zumo · 03-06-2007, 12:26 PM

Awesome photo.

If that was in 1968 - that truck had a rough life quick just from what can be seen. That's a very cool picture - thanks for posting.

67ChevyRedneck · 03-06-2007, 02:33 PM

Trucks were trucks back then. They didn't have bedliners and bed coatings, and it is Michigan.

Awesome Photo.

Yeah, even the parts truck we had at the Chevy dealer I worked at in 1984 took a beating

**Ron 586** · 03-06-2007, 02:48 PM

He had the hot ticket in the day. I never was lucky enough to get dealership sponsors. I was lucky to get a local gas station or a corner store. Brought back memories.

Ain't that the truth. No one cried when a truck got beat on back then, they were just tools, not toys.

Nice! I love the old pics like that one... Thanks for posting it...

RACINJASON22 · 03-07-2007, 12:36 AM

Yep. We are working on the stepside now. Hopefully the Camaro will be next

ProStreet68SB · 03-07-2007, 02:31 PM

I like the Camaro. I love '67 Camaros, over any of the other first gen camaros.

67ChevyRedneck · 03-07-2007, 02:48 PM

Hey Joe, is the Camaro going to be repainted as the race car it once was or will it be a solid color restoration?

Farmtruck71 · 03-08-2007, 06:17 AM

Very cool pic
