The first four years my wife and I were dating/married I was driving a 71c10. manual steering, manual brakes rusted out badly(although it was hidden under the bondo ) she used to drive quite abit. She only complained when she was in a parking lot trying to park it. She has never given me a hard time about building stuff, especially old stuff. the only thing she has said when I have my truck done she wants to start a 71-72 chevelle or camino. hmmmm I think we can do that!

but back on topic no pics,,,she hates cameras

My wife hates my truck, she says that we are just throwing away money. One day she bought a couch and we went in my truck to picl it up, now granted the truck was a real eyesoar at the time, but It was lowered and had decent rims on it. As we were driving, we get a thumbs up, then another and another. Finally she realized that those other people saw what I saw in my truck. A freaking cool truck.. Now she smearks whenever I buy something for it.

*jojotonka* · 04-18-2007, 04:06 PM

I remember the night I met my wife.

I was leaving the bar about 2am, seen this hot chick on the way out, ran a few cornball lines, told her to meet be by the BIG white truck so I could write down her ph# down. I swear this part is the truth... She pulls up and says "Nice truck, Is that 6 and 3?" HOLY SH@*!!! I yell!!!! Will you marry me?!!!

Well it's been 7 years, we're married with 2 kids.

Those of you 2wd guys that don't get it. 6 and 3 means ---- 6"suspension,
3" body lift.

**clay68c10** · 04-18-2007, 04:34 PM

My wife's cool with it. She was never a car person, but likes all that stuff now. When she drives the truck she tends to spin em off a red light, it's a good time.

burn67 · 04-18-2007, 04:41 PM

Hi All,

I've been lurking for quite some time and figure I might as well start in on the board at some time.

My wife likes the truck most of the time...

gtomechanic · 04-18-2007, 10:07 PM

My wife hasn't ridden in my truck for about four years now. Here is the result of that ride .Now she says its not safe,we could have an accident.

LMAO!

My wife drove mine for the first time last night. First time she's driven a V8 in her life. She says she doesn't get it, but it makes me happy, so that's cool. Well, she's at a stop light and a guy on the sidewalk is looking over the truck (not her -- she swears). So she punches it a bit on take-off. Came back with a big smile on her face.

Kinda like this one after riding in my buddy's little project car:

Imacarguytoo · 04-18-2007, 10:25 PM

My wife wont drive my truck. She cant drive a 4-speed. Shes riden in it when the truck was her fathers. I say you wanna go pick up a car with me? She says no...not in that log wagon!
Now my kids on the other hand...they love it. It puts my 4 month old to sleep right away.

NICE CHARGER! Sorry, I have a little Mopar in me!

bigblockorange · 04-25-2007, 03:15 AM

Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one that can't get the ole lady into my truck, but doesn't anyone have a picture of a lady behind the wheel of thier truck? Or is it just us guys driving around thinking the chicks dig us!

blukangoo · 04-25-2007, 06:18 AM

As soon as mine is done I have to let my wife drive it. That was part of the deal.
She paid for customs and shipping here in Germany.

I´m not scared about letting her drive it, she drives better that me.

A.P. · 04-25-2007, 08:12 AM

My wife don't like to drive or ride the 72chevy truck. She hates the dual 40s flowmaster exhaust and there hasn't been a radio in the truck since the year 2000.

bigblockorange · 04-26-2007, 01:17 AM

My son loves my truck but mom will never get in a picture with us. Why I don't know?

brak · 04-26-2007, 01:41 AM

My wife hates my 72 with a passion, but i don't blame her...

I bought my truck off Ebay back in 2002 (taught me a good lesson about buying vehicles by pics alone) and she volunteered to go to Boise ID, and drive it back to San Diego, since she could stop and see her friend in oregon on the way back...

Well it was a nightmare, it wouldn't start half the time (the starter eventually fell off) had a huge hole in the floor (covered by carpet) the mufflers had huge holes on the topside, firing directly at the cab floor, and none of the gauges worked.

so it was a Loud, Hot, nerve racking trip back to So Cal. which included 4 tows by AAA.

She hates the truck, and i don't blame her.

LMAO!! that was a good one.

can ya blame her. Cute kid, don't let her hear ya say she was an accident you know how (MOST I better put that in there) women are even at a young age, takin things all tha wrong way.

I know I have a girl that is almost seven goning on 27 I fear some days.

TRUCKER-TRUCKIN' · 04-26-2007, 04:15 AM

gUYS i FEEL FOR YA, most women will never get it, I think the most you can hope for is their understanding of how much you like it and they notice that smile on your face and the spring in your step. i can truthfully say its one of the few things that makes me feel like a sixteen year old again. I'm lucky my wife is understanding and supportive but I'm sure she'll never want drive my truck.

krue · 04-26-2007, 04:44 AM

I'll be the first to step up and post a pic of my wife driving the beast. The first time she road in it was a trip to meet Palf70step and it started raining on the way down there. The tire was kicking water up thru the hole where the rocker is supposed to be and she got wet. She's hated it ever since. The ONE AND ONLY time I get her to drive my truck with me in it and I was lucky enough to have my camera on the seat. She's only driven it one other time and that was because it was the only vehicle in the yard at the time.

OLDIRON69 · 04-26-2007, 08:28 AM

Should have just told her it was a built in "foot spa",just for you dear!

NONHOG · 04-26-2007, 03:15 PM

My wife drove my truck for about 1 mile
I warned her about the bias ply tires and the flat spotting thing
she says "I know I know" well.............turns out one of the tires was flat
she sprayed gravel pushing that flat tire and truck up our driveway got
about 1 mile down the road realized something was'nt right
called me at work to come get her I said "ah heck just drive her home we
can put another tire on it later" then she calls me back and said it won't start (was'nt in park) hurray for AAA
She has'nt been in it since , says it affects her allergy's
