How long have you had it......
 
Just wondering how long you all have had your trucks? I've had my 1972 short bed step since I was 17, making 28 years of ownership.

I'm really surprised mine made it through my teens and early 20's. It was my daily driver for over 10 years

I tried to purchase my 7 GMC back in 91. Finally was successful in 2012...Patience pays off.

I’ve had my 71 C10 Shortbox for 34 years. It will be up to my wife who owns it after I’m done! I’ve had my 65 Mustang for 43 years! Ditto on the next owner!

I’ve had my 72 short wide since I was 15. I’ve owned the truck for 17 years and don’t plan on selling it. My wife says I love it more than her 😂.

I've had my '69 since 1969 when I was 24. That would be 51 years ago.

My dad bought my Jimmy in '77 when I was 9. Was wrecked in '87 and he gave it to me. Bought with 113k miles, wrecked at 242,000 and motor swapped at 252,000 when timing chain broke. Over 340k now and 33 years under my ownership.

My 2001 Chevy 1500 I bought brand new, so 19 years. My 72 C10 I’ve owned a little over one year. I’m keeping both as long as I live.

My very first 67-72 4x4 shortbox still on its 1984 title. 36 years. But then I have 6 others that are scaring 30 years each.

Bought my first one in 2001 and sold it in 2014. Bought my present truck in 2014 and think it'll be my last but wife laughs when I say that.

As l read the first few posts, I thought of you and that you’d probably beat us all at 51

My 72 C10 I have had for 5 years, this one I will keep. I had a 68 GMC before the 72, wish I could have kept both of them. Never sell tools or your truck.
Regrets.....

The '72 K2500 I have now was the 'newer' one in the bunch. Time has passed and the bunch is gone, so it is now my veteran at 19 years. Bought it May of '01.

My '67 project is from parts. I bought a rolling chassis in '06 but some of the sheet metal I had for years. The cab I bought in '94. It keeps getting older and it hasn't even started being a truck yet :lol:

I bought mine in March 1986. I was second owner of it. Never been wrecked and still has all the factory sheet metal it had new. Has a few small pieces welded in but no complete parts other than rockers.

The ramp truck is going on 5 years now!
:chevy:

Make mine 3 years now. Only thing mechanically thing I did to it was brakes.
First pic is what it looked like when I got it.
Second is what it's like now.

Re: How long have you had it......
 
I bought my 68 LWB 396CI in 1981 setting out behind a barn. freshened up the moter and drove it for about 10 years. then sat behind my place for years before i decided to revive it. so 39 years later I still have it, not running yet but hopefully not much longer.

Jmoney01 03-24-2020 04:09 PM

Re: How long have you had it......
 
I honestly wasn't expecting this many long term owners. I think it's great. Since I have a lot of free time over the next couple weeks, all mine needs is a bit of brake work and it will be on the road again. Only been 4 years

Bought mine in 1985. My first vehicle. Hopefully, my kids will decide what to do with it one day.

35 years ago I found this one.
The pic was most likely taken the next day in OKC before the ride home..

Re: How long have you had it......
 
I have a 72 short wheel base step side I purchased in 1972. I purchased it from the Dept of Defense surplus. Was a C-10 Custom when I bought it. Had it for several years and took the cab and body off and put it on a 4X4 chassis. Drove it till the early 80's then took it off the road. Couldn't afford the gas. Currently under going frame off restoration for the past 18 years. Getting close, just need some body work and paint, and final assembly.
