Re: Young Bucks How Many of us are there?
I am gonna be 30 this year, I bought my first truck when I was 14 years old with money that I had earned working on farms and mowing grass during the summers. I will always own one or more of these trucks. I currently own 2 SWB 67's, and 1 LWB 68 50th Anniversary Edition. Thinking I want to get a suburban as well and guess what it will be a 67-72 as well, LOL...You young guys, remember this...Everyone in your family (negating gearhead families) will tell you that it is a money pit and try to talk you out of what you are doing, keep striving forward and doing the work, in the end you will have the best truck around and you will honestly be able to say I built it myself. Trust these guys on this forum, as they have guided me through a frame off build of Project Heaven, which should be complete in 2011!!!!!

Re: Young Bucks How Many of us are there?
I'm 76 years young & still working on the old trucks. It does my heart good to see the young people interested & preserving these old trucks. They are about the best trucks ever built.

Re: Young Bucks How Many of us are there?
I was 15 years old when I missed out on my Uncle selling a survivor 68 for $600... I ended up with a string of Camaro's and Nova's... Now I'm 26 and I have had my 69 CST-10 for a little over a year now.

Re: Young Bucks How Many of us are there?
22 here and I just bought my 71 C10 3 months back and have been waiting for one for as long as I can remember. There's just something about working on something almost twice your age that really keeps me motivated. I love the truck and it will go with me all the way to the grave!

Re: Young Bucks How Many of us are there?
what if you act like a young buck most of the time but you're really pushing 40 like me?

Re: Young Bucks How Many of us are there?
I'm 29 and my first car was a pick up truck.
A 70 Longhorn that I worked on a farm for a whole summer to buy. It was a sickness before I was big enough to mow the lawn.

Re: Young Bucks How Many of us are there?
I've always loved these old trucks my dads had tons of them over the years. I got my first one when I was 17 and started restoring it. Now I'm 20.
