Calling all high school 67-72 owners! - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MXmaniac · 03-19-2009, 11:55 PM

I'm 18 and a senior. When I was 15 I got this truck out of a field where it had sat for 20 years and fixed it up. Everything was done by me except for the machine work on the original 292. Paint and body was all done by me, interior, mechanical, etc. It's a '69 C-20 with a 292 L6, SM-465 4-speed granny tranny, manual steering, manual brakes, no A/C, just about as basic as you can get. I drive it every day rain or shine.

dont have any of me with it and the truck is too dirty for a pic. first day i drove it to school i got everyones attention. everyone always asked what i got under the hood, and everytime i opened it they were in aww, even a few rice boys came up and looked and were suprised. but the engine wasnt tuned right so it couldnt do a brake stance, and it took me all summer to get it right, then on the first day i pulled a huge burnout that anyone standing in the parking lot couldnt see a thing. i can beat everone off the start but can only go up to 90 mph were it tops out. but the chicks definitly love old trucks

and now that the roads are drying up i can finally start to open her up, its been sooooo long.

Bright orange paint, it gets attention.

Yeah, It's hard to hide when you drive one of these trucks. I get the "He's at Hooters again"

same here, i dont know if they like the truck itself or me, but the truck definatly makes great bait!

67CHIP72 · 03-23-2009, 12:10 AM

Not in High School, but I looked out my garage window yesterday because I heard voices in my driveway and two high school aged guys were on their bikes with lacross sticks in hand admiring my truck. They were there for a bit, hopefully they will join the club someday.

vectorit · 03-23-2009, 12:17 AM

Totally cool to see all you guys drivin the old iron to school!
I did the same, and reading all the comments you guys hear about why you drive what you drive from your school mates are the same I heard back in the mid 80's. Though I got teased, my burb was an icon at my HS. Everyone knew who drove it. It wasn't pretty, but it got respect.

'72customdeluxe · 03-23-2009, 04:02 PM

The only negative comment i've received was from a friend who was talking about "oh, that chevy is crap, Hawnduh rulez, i'm going to have a civic with twenty fours (impossible

) and an intake and exhaust" He then proceeded to show me an inspiration for his future car. Riced out with a fart cannon. But he was just trying to make me mad. But one of my friends is building a '64 with bags, inline six, and three on the tree

drewdude92 · 03-24-2009, 10:59 AM

allen123 · 03-24-2009, 06:59 PM

Im a Junior and drive my truck everyday to school and everybody knows my truck, well did now theres 2 other ones that used to look just like mine but were long beds so i painted my top white because i was tired of being the same lol. There are 6 67-72s at my school but I am the only one with a shortbed

I get alot of differant comments on my truck. Some people dont understand why I drive a old truck and think its a piece of crap but i just laugh because there a quite of cars and trucks in worse condition then my truck and the are 30+ years newer than mine. And some people like my truck alot.

Here's my baby
Before white top

After with white top
