Re: TOTM - Mar 06 - The Beasts

Here is our nominee! It is my beloved 1973 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 sporting a solid 350 straight from Shucks .
This truck was bought by my parents in the early 90's and is now mine. It has seen hundreds of trips to the mountains for snowmobile adventures and has endured tons of abuse by me. I actually intentionally put it nose first into an empty irrigation canal so I could turn around. Teenagers........

Here are some of the key points of interest:

Note the large amounts of rust on every panel! What a treat! Our friends like to break pieces off and throw it at each other.


Here is where and old guy slammed into the side of us with a plastic camaro. He lost. Note the great gas spills and 700 bucks worth of tires!


And as a final note- the grey lines you see on the hood.... that is actually the original primer showing through because the paint is soooooooooo thin! You can see where the first coat of paint was laid!


Enjoy our great truck known to us as the Big Red Machine.........
