i have been driving mine for the past 4 or 5 months until about two weeks ago i decided to do a 5 lug disc brake conversion. so i have been driving our little mazda. There are a lot of kids that like it, they always ask me about it and complement it. its been a lot of fun for me in every shape and way.

I'm 18 and a senior in high school. I'm on here quite a bit but so is my dad, we kinda share this account. But yeah I drive mine all the time, even in the snow and salt, hate to do it, but its my daily driver. Even got a chance to take some senior pictures with it! Here are a couple of pics.

I started building mine at 14... Got it finished at 17, a week before graduation. Half the people at school thought it was a myth until they saw it. I'm almost 20 now and in college. I've driven it almost daily ever since.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

Well, I'm in my second year of college(19 years old) and I drove my dads 68 gmc for a year and a half til I got my 98. My brother also drove it to high school before me. As you can see in my sig, we've added a few more vehicles since then. I'm slowly building my 72 as time permits when I'm home, so it should be done by the end of college(hopefully this summer).

High schooler here, my truck is almost ready to be a daily driver, just need to replace the wheels and do a little brake work. Me on the other hand, thanks to a couple elective surgeries and a broken arm, I still need to get my license

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 
Was working on 67-72's when I was in highschool, but never had one done enough to drive. Now I'm in college, and I drive the ol' girl every day to and from class.

Every one recognizes it - was even at a party, and once guy came up and said to me, "I knew you were here because I saw your truck, I just didn't know who you were."

Plus, the chicks dig it. ;)

Couldn't miss a chance to chime in on this topic! Senior here, trucks going to become my daily at the start of April after my enigne swap. Just got my new wheels in today. Funny thing is, a year ago at this time I was saying the same thing, "yeah guys! I'll be driving the truck after spring break in April!" Here I am a year later, and am finally at that point.

Pretty much, ppl know where I am all the time now,

"I saw you broken down at..."
"I saw you at sonic..."
I saw you at so-and-so's Hosue..."

Bright orange paint, it gets attention. :lol:

I just graduated high school last year but I drove my truck every day since April of 07. I had the oldest and loudest vehicle at my school.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 
I'm 16, own 3 trucks, I usually drive my 84 daily, but it's off the road at the moment. I'm parting out my 72 and 68 if anyone needs parts. And I'm about to paint my 84 desert tan. Cant believe Lucky hasn't chimed in yet.

hey yall. Im 17 im a junior i been drivin my truck since last year to school everyday. Its hard to restore it when your drivin it though. everyone recognizes it cause it has utilitie boxs on the sides of the bed its wierd. its a stepside with utility boxs instead of stepside fenders.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!
 
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.

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."

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!
 
what do your alls friends think bout you drivin ol trucks....80% of mine give me heck about it..say its junk..im waitin till they have a problem with theres..gotta buddy withh a 94 mustang....YOU CANT EVEN FIND THE SPARK PLUG WIRES!!

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.

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.

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.

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
