[ThatOneBlue67]

My dad bought his 67 when I was 11 or 12 and Iwasn't really interested in it. I loved the old fin cars from the 50's but his truck was just "a truck" to me at that age. My first car was a Toyota 4Runner, cool little SUV 4x4, but just too boring for my taste. I wanted a classic SOMETHING. Originally I was shooting for a 59 Cadillac (a.k.a. tuna boat) but my dad was paying for this at the time so it HAD to be an older truck. He didn't want some Titanic of a car blockign the driveway.

So I was looking up trucks of this era and ALMOST bought a 72 3/4 ton. But, as you might have guessed, dad didn't want his son having a big block that gets 2 miles to the gallon.

That's when, on the second search, I found a 67 stepside, just like my dad's, but with a primer body and no windows. A year later; which consisted of body work, a cheapo paint job, a new bench seat, new glass and (THANK GOD!) a 350 small block, I'm up to par with my old man.

For a long time I was still looking at cars like "Christine" but my old truck really grew on me everytime that I drove it. The V8 and my first burnout just blew me away and now this truck is truely staying with me 'til the day I croak. It's actually a muscle car, but a truck. A muscle truck I guess. Now I just need to find me some cheap SS emblems to stick on it.
