Does anyone have photos of their trucks from back in the day when they were new?

Title says it all, it would be awesome to see some old photos. Unfortunately all I have of mine is an identical truck in the '75 GMC brochure.

MSRP was $12,140; I paid the $9954 with discounts.

$525 destination charge....even though it was 13 miles from the assembly plant to the selling dealership.

I like how they spelled my name wrong.

Nice to see that you still have your dad's truck. I wish I could get my hands on my dad's old '76 Silverado w/454. It was buckskin w/cream in the middle and roof. It was a sharp truck. He traded it in on a new '81 Silverado. That '81 truck sucked IMO!! The seat wasn't as comfy as the '76.

Not a bad replacement, IMO!! My second truck was a 1yr old '79 Silverado 2wd w/5500kms and it was the same color as yours but w/brown hood. Put 190,000 on it in 10yrs, then replaced it with an '80 streetcoupe. Both long gone now.

You mentioned an identical truck in the brochure: I'm pretty sure the inspiration for lil Red came from somewhere between my red '86 Suburban and this picture from the '86 literature -

Re: Does anyone have photos of their trucks from back in the day when they were new?

How about new pictures of a truck just like it was back in the day? I'm a little confused by the firewall color though, I don't think I've ever seen a stock paint square body with a non body color firewall.

Here's a thread from 2009 about my fairly new 76 back in the day.

That is/was a bad ass truck!! Just like I remember many of them. I really love the Charger fuel cap idea. That is too cool. I think I will borrow it for mine. I am restoring mine to be a period correct street rod in 1978 to 1980. I doing mine up as I would have if I owned it back in the day.
