I was 13. Now I feel like the old guy around here! Only good thing is I learned to do drum brakes, point ignition systems and carbs.

Now I go to the autoparts for something and the person behind the counter says: Whats that?

greedy geezer · 03-02-2016, 04:31 PM

12 years old Ha !

AirSpeed · 03-02-2016, 04:33 PM

I was 10 when my 72 was new, 7 when my grandfather bought my 69. I was at his house when he brought it home from the dealer, he was a quiet man but was really excited that day! Rode around in it a lot as a kid. I knew it would eventually be mine!

TeamEstep · 03-02-2016, 04:34 PM

10 years old. '71 LWB

35boulder · 03-02-2016, 04:37 PM

I was 16. '69 SWB

EARNHARDT#3 · 03-02-2016, 04:39 PM

My '67 is 14 years older than me. 1967 sounds like it was long before I was born but in reality 14 years is nothing.

bigdog55 · 03-02-2016, 04:52 PM

mine is a '70 I turned 13 that Christmas.

chevytruckguy70 · 03-02-2016, 04:58 PM

6, had my first 71 c10 when I was 13.

Funny, it was only 7 years old with 45,000 mi on it then but it seemed wore out at that time. I have an 2007 2500HD now thats 9 years old and everyone thinks its still a new truck.

My current 72 is the 7th truck of this series I've owned, I just can't seem to be without one for long.
