Just shows how deep this hobby goes. The General certainly got it right with styling in 67 IMO. The after market guys love it too. I don't feel old till I look in the mirror. These 56 yr. old eyes can't believe it sometimes.:metal:

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

Negative 8. Born in 80, truck is 72.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

my 67 is 8 yrs older than me.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

When my '71 was new I was 22 years old, recently back from Viet Nam and just enjoying being Stateside again. Bought my '71 in '85 and have had it since. Lots of memories, money and beer have gone along with it. :chevy:

Pretty sure that makes me an "ol' timer" but I still play with cars and trucks. :lol:

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

Thank you for going to viet nam and protecting my girlfriend. She is 11 years younger than you, a child of the war. They needed lots of help and you were there for them. She came to the US after spending years in a refugee camp, applying for citizenship, finally being accepted in 1979. Cheers brother, I am US Army 1st cav div 1986-1988

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

Since I have multiple trucks from 68 to 72, let's just say I was a big negative 17 when my 72 was built. I wasn't born til 89

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

Much appreciated, wish the country had had that sentiment when I came home from 'Nam. Sadly 'twas not the case then. I was 84th Engineer Battalion (Const), built roads, bridges, Lots of job security. Build it once, come back two weeks later, re-build it. Thanks for your service, Brother. :chevy:

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

I do too, the climate at that time was pathetic to say the least. We are closer than I thought. I was 8th engineer battalion. Ribbon bridge. I was lead boat operator, bridge erection crew. MY dad was 101st airbourne, Korea. He was a little before viet nam, I was a little behind. And my step dad was Hell on wheels viet nam 1967

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

Until I got to the last page I was beginning to think everyone here were kids.
When my truck was built, I was awaiting my orders for Nam.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

I was -1 when my 70 was built.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

Sincerest thanks to all that served, or currently serving.
They were still issuing numbers when I started high school.

I was 10 in '67

I had been driving our '54 1/2 ton around the farm for a couple years by then...not big enough to throw hay bales yet!
That '54 Chevy had a chrome grille and bumpers. Dad found it in a junkyard for $100 (no title) and brought the six cylinder back to life.
I remember sitting on the inner fender well looking down the cylinders while my brother-in-law was running the hone through.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?

Bought the truck on my birthday in 2012.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

Worse than how some treat the police today. I appreciate your service, and the others as well. My stepdad/Lt Col. did a couple of tours. He's going to be 86. He's HILARIOUS. Mother's childhood sweetheart. Originally from Ohio, migrated to WV, been here since 97. He's the best thing to ever happen to my mother.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

I was 14 in 1972.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

I was 4 when my 70 was built. I too have a "soft spot" for old Chevy/GMC trucks. Thank goodness I also have eighty acres to park/hide them all...:lol:
Some are running, some restored, some parts. I own 17 trucks. My oldest is a 1970 GMC, and newest is a 05 Duramax Crewcab.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

Tell him that (I) many people, know the difference he made. Those guys made us. And we wont forget it. Huge sacrifice

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

I will do just that. He'll appreciate it. He was with the USMC Air Ground Team 3rd Marine Amphibious Force.........I just copied that from a patch I bought off Ebay last year..:smoke:

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

To Ironhorse and 71shortbed's step dad. My girl would give you anything if she thought it would make you happy. Her family is a tribute to this country, absolutely beautiful people. The guys that went to viet nam are partially responsible for them being here. And you are heroes. You saved lives. You saved beautiful lives

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

My stepdad had a girlfriend in Vietnam. He was quite fond of her. I guess there was a break, and the last they met he asked if she had a boob job. She explained how it was a miracle from God.:lol: I recently saw a newspaper print of he holding a small Vietnamese boy in a sht storm. I'll have to ask about the event, because it sounded important. Anyway, the picture tells quite a story. There was fear in the eyes of the others, but his concern was comforting that little boy. Honor defined.

My daughter was in Taekwondo. Turns out Grand Master was a old friend I hadn't seen in decades. He's Vietnamese, fought in the war as well. He's 9-10 degree black belt. Probably weighs 90 lbs, and all good character.

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?

Re: How old were you when your truck was new?
 

For the 70...+1
