Neighborhood tour de trucks
I live in a small town, the type of place you see someone you know any time you go for a walk. And it's not just people you see, but the same dogs, bikes, cars, and trucks! These three are all within four blocks of my house. I see the orange K10 Super driving sometimes. Have never seen the blue one move. And the orange 2WD has a big block, I took a look at it with the owner one day. A truck guy down the street showed up with a bright green K10 a few weeks ago, temp plates and all, but either it was passing through or he's got it in pieces in the garage because I haven't seen it again. Either way, including my '72, that's four or five 71-72 Chevies within a four-block radius... I wonder if 45 years from now you'd see that many 2017 Silverados randomly clustered?

Re: Neighborhood tour de trucks
Both of those neighborhood trucks you guys mentioned sound pretty cool. Pete, I've still never seen a 50th Anniversary truck in person, would like to.
SoCoC10, I figured everyone was sick of seeing my truck by now... but here you go. A couple photos I took last year, and unlike the above, not with my cell phone camera...

Mine is painted black right now. It was getting sooo rusty and several spots were real bad. About 10 years ago I took some 150 grit paper on a DA and sanded the whole thing down and put a couple of coats of cheap black enamel on it to protect it, until the day came to where I could work on it like I want.... |

Re: Neighborhood tour de trucks
I was at Lowes picking up some roofing and saw a 69' parked next to my 4-Runner so I waited a little. Truck was a little rough.The guy came out and said he had had the truck for a month and it was his daily driver now. Wish I had gotten a picture.Now that mine is going and legal I hope to see him again.

Re: Neighborhood tour de trucks
Small towns are great for that. I grew up in Wyoming, and every time I go up there, I see the old iron.

Re: Neighborhood tour de trucks
If you ever find parts missing of your truck, you know what doors to knock on
 I would keep an eye on the neighbor that brought the green truck home. You might have a local 67-72 truck chop shop right down the streetThat blue SWB is one bad Larry! |
