I first saw a 67-72 in the movie Dazed and Confused. Didn't really think too much of it. Fast forward about 2 years. I've just blown the motor in my chevelle (lead foot here as well) and so I was needing something in a hurry. Ran across my 72 sitting on a car lot. The guy agreed to tote-the-note it to me (can you believe I financed a 72 only 2 years ago? they usually want cash). It was cheap, lwb, good motor, and it fit everything I needed. In the last 2 years it has moved me twice. It has hauled parts for the chevelle. And it has pulled the chevelle as well (you didn't think I was going to get rid of my chevelle did you?).
I must say that I love these old trucks. I swear that my fullsize bed is bigger than today's fullsize beds because I can fit a whole lot more into my trucks bed than my friend can fit into his new dodge ram's.
Sorry if I rambled on a bit.
