Love the transport pics! These are a couple of my favorite vintage pics. I don’t know anyone in these, but you can bet they were Evel Knievel fans

**IronCanine** · 09-19-2020, 08:53 PM

Sorry to abuse the thread with more videos...but these are videos of vintage pics. Come for the hokey period salesmanship, stay for the close up pics of new Chevrolet trucks (A Super no less in the 72 video)...if not for the truck, the test at the end is pretty entertaining and probably worth staying for.

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

Thought this was interesting

**72 tigger** · 11-30-2020, 08:16 PM

Not vintage, his grandpa bought it new. He still uses it on his ranch in Idaho. I like the dogs in the cab over box

That truck was baked... and I think a couple people died in it.

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.

The 70’s with the engine hanging from the tree, I can only think of the Duke boys, a better time

Swapped a few engines using cedar poles strapped together as a tripod. No moving the engine hoist, you moved the vehicle. A lot of the time it was in a field.

From the pop culture article. Love this one! I spy buddy buckets...

I was going through some old pictures at work the other day and ran across these. Little Chena River is about 11 miles from Fairbanks and very close to my house. Idaho Creek is about 100 miles from Fairbanks.
My office has been using Suburbans as work trucks for many years. Too bad GM decided to not make a 3/4 ton suburban anymore...
