How long have you had it...... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jmoney01 · 03-22-2020, 11:50 AM

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.

57taskforce · 03-22-2020, 12:01 PM

16 years 1957 3100 (half my life)
1 year 1971 K10 SWB
5 years 1972 K20
9 years 1998 K2500

Jmoney01 · 03-22-2020, 12:11 PM

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

54blackhornet · 03-22-2020, 12:14 PM

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

I have had mine for over 20 years.
DO not plan on selling either for a while.

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!

custom10nut · 03-22-2020, 12:48 PM

May of 1992, the 70 C-10 came to be part of the family. 28 years, and counting

**rustytruck50** · 03-22-2020, 12:40 PM

June will be 4 years with my '72...dont plan on that changing any time soon

yellow&white72 · 03-22-2020, 12:47 PM

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 😂.

We’re similar in age. I get the same accusations... must be normal then

She calls my Camaro the mistress.

**chiefcfd** · 03-22-2020, 12:54 PM

My Dad got my '72 in 1980. I got it in 1994.

I've had the one in my avatar for last 6 years.

**Stocker** · 03-22-2020, 03:11 PM

In a few months it will be 43 years.

**FirstOwner69** · 03-22-2020, 03:18 PM

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

toolboxchev · 03-22-2020, 03:57 PM

4th owner here, been rusting with me since 2006.

Mike C · 03-22-2020, 04:10 PM

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.

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

**72 tigger** · 03-22-2020, 08:15 PM

My daily driver K20 I’ve had for 22 years
71 C10 for 12 years

Unfortunately... That just makes me old...very old!

SRU1436 · 03-22-2020, 04:29 PM

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.

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 03-22-2020, 05:30 PM

Had my 1971 for 31 years, and my 1972 about three.

**HOTFUN** · 03-22-2020, 05:31 PM

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.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 03-22-2020, 05:34 PM

I bought my Orange '68 C/10 Stepside when I was 23, in 1973.

vt05091 · 03-22-2020, 05:53 PM

My Dad got my '72 in 1984. I got it in 1994.
