I'm almost 18 and I drive my 68 GMC K2500 to school everyday (except when it's broke down). i don't dare drive my 67 c10 to school ever. people like to screw with your vehicle in the parking lot especially with a truck, your bed becomes a trash can.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

we must be getin to be a rare kind anymore. everyone at my school is always asking me why i drive a ol truck like this. then i just lift the hood and dont say anything:lol: then they understand and like the joe diffy song "there's somthin women like about a pickup man."

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

The bareness of our motors astonish kids I think. There's no wires or plastic hiding everything. That, and a Chevy Orange block makes things apparent.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

I'm a senior in high school. Just rebuilt my engine myself and am currently in the paint stage. Probably taking it to get it painted Friday. Hope to drive it to school at least a month or two before I graduate.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

everyone says the same thing about my plow truck, now i know it's not pretty but it takes a beating with a plow and wheeling and it's been good to me. they don't believe me when i say the only rust on the truck is in the bed because it's 8 different colors. they think my 67 is a piece of junk too when they hear me say 1967 chevy but when i show them pictures they tend to shut up.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

im a freshman too. im going to be working on a k5 hopefully this summer with my dad just need to go look at it

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

Here's the one my youngest son drove to high school, and it is why I bought mine. His is gone. Mine is disassembled. The second pix is one that was sent to me by the new owner, who lives in Ft. Worth.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

yeah my truck had AC and all power so the engine compartment was pretty crowded and i opened it for a friend of mine who is into imports(his brother owns a turbo subra) and he almost fell over at how small and bare my engine was LOL

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

Im 18 and a senior in highschool. I drove my 72 from sophmore year until may of last year which was when I bought my colorado. I still have it and am going to put a 327 in it in the next few weeks. I also have a 68 GMC short step that is my long term project. Im glad to see that im not the only one into old stuff. haha. :metal:

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

Had a 16 year old at work that drove a VW Jetta turbo that his parents bought him, he said my truck was old and slow, then one night when we got off his ride didn't show up and I dropped him off at his house, once he rode in the truck he totally changed his mind LOL

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

Hello all, Nice Trucks!!
Im 18 and I have been driving my '70 LWB to school since my junior year. I dont park in the lot at school, a friend of mine lives across the street so I park there for the day. I bought it the summer before my sophomore year for $200 and worked on it through 10th and midway through 11th. Everyone rags on me because its 4X4 and I dont drive it in the winter, but hey, they didnt spend the $7,000 bucks to restore it!! Mine is by far the most powerful vehicle in the lot except for one diesel that is insane, and it is definetly the oldest! Come graduation day this May, im gonna park in the lot, and when we get out, Im gonna leave a big ol patch of black in the lot, and bark the pipes all the way home!!

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

whats goin on, im 17, senior and the only kid at my school who owns an older truck, every one rolls in a little honda or toyota everyone hears this one rolling into the parking lot, thanks to flowmaster 40s;)

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

everyone post pics of you and your truck
0-60 and 1/4mile times would be fun too

my best 0-60(with the old th350 and 3.08 gears) is 10 seconds flat-no joke

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

knew a guy with a ford ranger that he thought was pretty hot and saw him randomly at our public library, so i stopped the truck in the middle of the parking lot and laid a big patch of rubber to show off and as i left there was this old man getting into his truck that turned around and clapped for me- true story

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

Everyone definetly hears me coming to school, one day I was about a mile and a half from school, i barked the pipes from a stop sign, and a friend of mine heard me at the school!! Who says straight 3inch cherry bombs aint loud!!

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

When we seniors were let out early by surprise one day, I was the 1st off the lot... The next day I got many "I heard you leaving"s hahah.... Every stop sign, wasn't burning rubber,but sure as hell let it go.

0-60 for me is in around 7-8 seconds, about the same as my dad's Grand Prix GT.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

im 17, drive my truck from the second the snow melts, until the the snow falls and stays.. yeah i drive it through some light snow, but it gets a little hairy at times.

bought the truck, it needed a motor and tranny, but the body was really nice (what you see there is how it came)

i tore the motor out and built a pretty bad 383 stroked that dynoed just a hair under 450 hp, and bolted that to a T350 with a shift kit.

i drive the truck to school, work, and the cottage on weekends. I tow the race car to the track on saterday nights, and then cruise the beach on sundays. i get mixed reactions at school, all of the girls are really into it, some of the guys tell me they hate the color, id say they are just jelous:lol:

anybody going to be at the car show in myrtle beach this weekend?

I'm going to be there, unfortunatly w/o my truck, as it was still snowing when i left canada on march break..

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

I'm home schooled, most of my friends dont understand my 84. My home school school mate rode with me once, I did 2 burnouts and he said both were weak. I found out later, he thought they were "weak" because I didnt do a wheelie...kids these days need serious help.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 

im 18 and a senior in highschool.. got my truck back in 1999. used to be my dads daily driver. then he rebuilt motor and trans in about 04.. then since that he started parking it more and more and had a for sale sign in it.. i went out ripped it up and threw it at him. and on my 16 birthday he handed me a box and it was the keys to the 72.. its in pieces right now.. a board member and i have done the rust on the cab (rockers, corners, floor) thanks daren, so its not my daily driver.. my daily is a 00 eclipse.. here is a few senior pics of my 72
