Just ran across this thread by the link in your signature. Very cool road trip, and some awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Shaky · 07-10-2011, 08:02 AM

OK - the owner is a busy guy right now, but might be able to send some more recent pictures soon.

In the meantime, here's a few pics from after the trip when the truck actually got a restoration and a 67-72 bed!

The 1st pic shows the GMC he drove while working on the Chevy. The GMC was in pretty rough shape. I honestly think that the bed was held on with a bit of rust and nothing more.

The second pic shows the new bed being brought home and the third is a shot of the truck not long after the completion of the life extension program.

I don't know how I missed this the first time but great thread! I'd love to make a trip like this with some great old iron!

There's less old iron now! He stopped by to help me strip my C20 cab. I was lucky he didn't try to take it!

Looks like you had a blast. So, did any of you fellas, um...get laid? Maybe a nice, young little Eskimo girl?

Yeah...um...about that - I had one set of clothes and didn't take a shower for 3 weeks. I didn't even want to be around me...

Jeez what an awesome trip. That's so cool that you guys got to do that.

kaputaji, were you on the trip with Shaky?

jc06vmax · 04-09-2014, 12:46 PM

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm bringing it back from the dead for one hell of a read and for anyone that has missed it...this is incredible.

kaputafj · 04-09-2014, 02:25 PM

Curt - yes, it's my truck. Shaky is my friend.

**steelhorse** · 04-09-2014, 04:16 PM

Great read.

Sleepy Cheyenne · 04-09-2014, 04:23 PM

This is a cool trip. Just like Dinah Shore said "See the USA in your Chevrolet". That was exactly what these trucks were built for camping and road trips.

Actually, it's more like I was on the trip with him. His truck, his idea. The other two of us just grabbed our packs and cash and jumped in.

slow-1 · 04-09-2014, 04:50 PM

Thanks for bringing it back up jc.

Thanks for taking the time to share the story Shakey.

Good idea kaputafj!!!!!!

yfs200p · 04-09-2014, 09:43 PM

Cool thread, I must have missed it the first time around. Kinda funny, I have a friend from college who is from Glastonbury, CT. Is that where this truck lives still?

kaputafj · 04-09-2014, 09:54 PM

yup glastonbury

bill3rail · 09-29-2015, 07:34 AM

While cruising through old L6 threads, I found this one.

Some threads are epic, and should never die.

Amazing trip, wish I did not have the sense to undertake one like this.
