How old are you???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

64Magoo · 01-28-2008, 07:41 PM

I'm just curious as to what age range these trucks draw... I just turned 21 in August and I bought my truck from my dad a little over a year ago. He owned it about 2-3 months after he bought it from the original owner of 40+ years. I have seen at least one person younger than me but I just like to know a little about the people on my forums!

BigDaddyDave · 01-28-2008, 08:03 PM

I turned 41 back in November. I want everyone to know that i do not feel a day over 88! haha

hewlett2002000 · 01-28-2008, 08:30 PM

I turned 20 in november

setandreel · 01-28-2008, 09:50 PM

Be 50 in April

HotRodYJ · 01-28-2008, 09:56 PM

I'm 39. Got my first 72 SWB 4x4 when I was 18 from my Dad. He had had it as long as I could remember. I think he bought it used in 72 with 9K miles on it. A few years ago I restored a 72 2WD long bed, factory air, orange and white Cheyene. Wish I stil had that one. Right now my daily driver is a 2WD SWB 71 and I'm building a 66 step.

*LILRED66* · 01-28-2008, 10:07 PM

I will soon be 43. I bought my first 4-5-6 Chevy truck in 1981 at the age of 16. It was a black 1965 Chevy C10 lwb fleetside with a six banger and three-on-the-tree. I used it as my daily driver in high school and for my mowing business. I sold that one to my neighbor and bought a red/white cap 1966 Chevy C10 lwb fleetside in 1983. That one took me through the college years until it was stolen in 1988, after a new paint job was applied.

I am glad to see the younger generation is staying with the '60-'66 Chevy truck vintage. Good luck with your projects and don't forget to post pictures of your rig for everyone to enjoy.

jonathan-m · 01-28-2008, 11:25 PM

I bought my truck last year, when I was 17. It was my first truck, and its been a great learning experience so far.

**ChiefRocka** · 01-29-2008, 12:33 AM

I am 36 now, and the truck was given to me last year....If that deal didn't come around, I would not have ever found this sight.

62 short step · 01-29-2008, 12:56 AM

I'm 34 will be 35 in April. I'm on my 3rd 60-66 truck. Got my first one when I was 29, it was a 63 4x4, then a 62 short step where I get my handle from, and now my 61 4x4. Oh yea, I'm picking up a 62 short step today someone gave me!!

Here are some pics.

TimE · 01-29-2008, 01:03 AM

I'm 36. Bought my '64 about 7 years ago and used as a daily driver for about 3 1/2 years. It has been a "back burner" item until recently.

Dadsredwagon · 01-29-2008, 01:15 AM

40 and didn't feel any different when it happened!!!

502tripower · 01-29-2008, 02:25 AM

Geeze...Looks like I am the old man here for now at 51. Bought my first shoe box at 16... 55 2-dr post, 4 others and a wagon since, along with a 56' step side. I've had several 71'-72's but just the one 63' which I bought in 97' as a project gone bad. Lots of Novas, Chevelles, Studes, a 35' Chev standard 3-window coupe and my 61' which I will never part with but, have always managed to keep a couple of Chevy trucks in the stalls. Not to mention My boat collection....

67_C20Pres · 01-29-2008, 02:49 AM

Gotcha ya Tripower, I'll be 55 in July. AARP has been after me for the last few years like a chicken on a junebug. Always been a GM guy, Cadillacs, Chevys, Buicks & even had a 67 Opel Kadet ralley when I was 19. Wish I had that sucker now with the price of gas these days.

Just like our music, "Oldies & Moldies"! I've got a 30 year old Nephew that calls Led Zepplin, YES, Pink Floyd, ELO, etc. "Blue hair music". There's just no accounting for taste anymore.
