Re: Thumbs up

Sounds like we all get the same reactions. I guess one of the reasons that we are drawn to these trucks is that they are so appealing. Last year my wife and I were in my truck at a traffic light when it decided to die on me. It wouldn't refire, quickly jumped out, opened the hood and discover I have no spark. Within 3 minutes there were 4 people getting out of their cars to help me. They blocked traffic and we pushed it into a parking lot. The whole time they were telling me what a beautiful truck it was, how long have I owned it, what year is it, etc? By the time I git it fired up again (points) there were a few more people hangin around. Even when they don't run they attract a crowd!

Re: Thumbs up

I have been pulled over twice. Each time by a different officer to compliment my 71 C10 long bed (original paint patina) and asking if to purchase it. I respectfully have turned down their offers.

Re: Thumbs up

Lots of waves, smiles, thumbs up and windows rolled down to ask what year and if I want to sell it.

I always reply, "how could someone sell a family member?"

Re: Thumbs up

I can't put gas in mine without people lining up to talk to me about it.
