Great photos bozly, these are the best type, when new, especially under the hood shots. Lot can be learned like the battery type and hood hinge finish. Engine paint color confirms most factory photos, original engine paint was more reddish up to '72. There was a paint formula change to more orangish '73-'76.

Awesome

**68bowtie** · 07-24-2020, 05:50 PM

Good eye. License plates and engine bay are flipped too.

**DeadheadNM** · 07-24-2020, 10:41 PM

Auxiliary battery too. Nice.

Is that the windshield bottle that's sticking up above the fender?

Nothing to see here....just another load of transporters shuttling between Chevyland’s and JoesJunk’s houses

**BlazerBill** · 08-03-2020, 12:42 AM

Family camping with the '71 Blazer

Bones72Super · 09-22-2020, 08:16 PM

Going through albums with my my Mom and had completely forgotten that she sold fajitas out of the bed of a C10 as well as stained glass and wind chimes that she made. We would go to County Fairs and festivals all summer. I won tons of ribbons at sack races and any track and field type events. Good times

**special-K** · 09-23-2020, 08:02 AM

Now that's a great picture and better memories!

I have one other crappy old picture to share. I need a scanner. Might have more to show. Barely shows the truck, but another camping picture. This time at the beach. It's a '71 K/20 bed corner

Here is old photos of he truck I’m currently trying to get back and many of you know as my grandfathers 71 GMC Sierra

Love having these photos

**Rich72C10** · 12-10-2020, 07:01 PM

Houston, Texas - June 1981.

My grandfather's GMC (with grandmother, aunt, little brother and me in photo). While I know he let go of the GMC around 88~90 I don't ever remember a time before that he didn't have it. While I never asked or heard, I am pretty sure he bought it new. Year of truck, unknown to me. But I remember going all over Houston and East Texas (where I grew up) in it!

My grandfather, WWII vet was a waste gunner in a B17 (he lied about his age and joined up at age 16). Post war started working at Hughes Tool Crop in Houston and retired. Went to work in blue dungarees with a black lunchbox. I can still remember how it smelled and him saving his chips for me when I was down for the summer.

I think he would be smiling down with me getting a Chevy C10.

**rechinca** · 12-11-2020, 12:18 AM

Guessing late 70Â’s on the grandparents farm. I Â“thinkÂ” dadÂ’s was a 71 and GrandpaÂ’s C20. Miss those days, everything down to the farm is gone. Just me my sister left from that photo.
