At the C10 Nats today. The Blue/White 72 C20 is mine and the 67 step side belongs to a good friend.

Impressive line up.
At one point, I had my '68 C/10 Stepside, '67 K/10 Suburban, and '71 GMC K/1500 Jimmy all running at the same time. Around 1995 -98. Gas and insurance were killing me. Had to remember to run each one a couple of times a week, to keep the circulation going. Then the Jimmy blew the PO's engine. The Sub had an engine fire in '98 and I parked it. We re-engined the Jimmy in '99. The Stepside needed an engine change in 2002. It was back on the road in 2005. I've since found collector car insurance is a lot cheaper than the regular policy. Also with vintage plates, the trucks can skip the annual Emissions testing.

That's a good feeling for sure. I wish to have all of my projects running and driving one day for a picture just like yours.

Never said all my projects are running . I’m doing the motor on my AMX it’s almost there and the Avanti I’m waiting on new brackets and related parts to add modern disc to it the Dunlop two piston disc brakes are way past their prime they were great in 63 now not so much. Out of nine I have two that aren’t drivable .


Ohh and last night the shift cable went on my Envoy misses backed out of a parking spot and the shift just flipped around . Had to climb under it and manually shift it to get it home .

Well, for me only the '71 Jimmy is the runner.
The '68 C/10 Stepside starts and runs, but since the 4/22 collision, the propshaft is bent and I get excess vibration above 55 MPH. I need to drop the shaft and get it inspected. Too hot to work during the day, and too much noise to do it at night.
I could run it to the supermarket, if I went slow, but don't want to.
The '67 Sub's just a pipe dream, and the '72 Blazer tub is a parts horse.

Yep, great weather in the PNW.
Casper42 reminds me every time I see his beautiful “FEF” truck, that I need to get busy and mount my OE bumper guards.
Enjoy the weekend all!
