Great Pictures. Your Truck looks Wicked Awesome with the Old Hempstead Gas Station in the Background. Thanks for sharing the memories of what it looked like in the good ole' days.

That is so cool, I took a picture of these two gas stations going to the Sequoias last month.

.

Hopefully next time I'll be in my truck, instead of a Honda!

Cool pictures, the second to last one is my favorite. I like the orange letters in the grille too.

Thanks! Chevy engine orange, matches the paint well too.

When repainting the letters and lines, I thought this would be a nice touch

Hey, I like that body color treatment of the grill letters too. I hope you won't mind if I sorta steal your idea.

Nice pictures and THANKS!! Don`t we all wish we could have our own vintage gas station?

**70cst** · 08-30-2009, 08:19 AM

texanidiot25 ... After seeing these old Gas Stations it's obvious that our trucks look right at home when parked in these gas stations. By the way...your truck has come a long way from what it was. Grerat job.

Too Funny! I recognize that Gas Station. I thought it was the Old Cypress gas station though. Very interesting story about that old station. I tell y'all about it later when I get a few minutes.

I think it's old Hempstead, from the historical signs i noticed. Referring to the road, not the town though. Can't wait to hear the story though.

This old Gulf station is in Tazewell, TN.

Just havin' some fun.
