100 Years of Chevy Trucks- Are you a "Legend"?

Periodically, I receive emails from Chevrolet. Here's a link from the one I got today. Contains a couple pictures of one of our trucks. I'm wondering if the truck in the featured picture belongs to a member.
http://www.chevrolet.com/truck-life/...17_15088066604

Be sure to click all the links. How many of us are "legends"? By their definition, I am!

Re: 100 Years of Chevy Trucks- Are you a "Legend"?

That's really cool! I like the touches on the Centennial Edition truck, especially the classic Chevy bowtie. For me, though, they missed the mark on the advertising photos with the C10. I would have found a more faithful rendition of a stock truck, maybe even a 50th anniversary truck. The one they chose doesn't even have the right bumper or wheels on it! That's just picking it apart from a C10 enthusiast though. I'm sure the people who put the ad together didn't even have the slightest clue about the originality of the truck they chose.

Oh, and I am not a legend because I've never owned a new Chevy.

Re: 100 Years of Chevy Trucks- Are you a "Legend"?

Not I. My 2008 is the only vehicle I've ever bought new, and it's the only vehicle I've paid more than $6,000 for. I doubt either of those two things will ever change. And yes, how could they miss the obvious choice here of a stock 1968 50th anny? Hard to believe

Re: 100 Years of Chevy Trucks- Are you a "Legend"?

I’m a legend I haven’t posted any pictures of my trucks yet though. If you go to the legends website there’s a place where you can register. You and your truck have to meet certain criteria but it’s not hard. You’ll need your vin and mileage. You supposedly get a free hat and some decals a month or two after you register.

Awesome site! Thanks for the link. Someone sent me an email about the 100th anniversary edition a few weeks ago. Pretty cool! I submitted my truck and story this morning.

I don't think I qualify, unless my '95 Suburban qualifies me.

Thanks, yes it's pretty easy to enter.
More than likely the two trucks where people who worked for Chevy are the group who put this Legends together for them.

I don't qualify. My trucks have under 100k and I never purchased or leased a new Chevy truck nor do I plan on it.
More media propaganda. Hats are available online

Re: 100 Years of Chevy Trucks- Are you a "Legend"?

I registered my 68 C10 and was accepted but they put the picture under 1968 Other. I can't seem to be able to edit it to the correct place.

Dad's truck was used on the family farm in the Midwest for various chores all of my life.

Since Dad passed, I brought it to my home in CA where I am attempting to stop deterioration and upgrade safety items while preserving its originality as much as possible. Despite rough appearance, never missed a day of work in its life, just like Dad.

They stuck my 68 pic in the other truck section, don't know why.
they're grouped in years by 10s so early 67-72 styles mixed with 60-66 styles.. then divided in mileage groups, with some pretty lofty claims I might add.. would've been nicer to divide them up by generations.. but the 19yo IT geek that set up the web page probably hasn't ever seen any of them

you may be able to check your profile if you can find it to make sure you didn't typo somewhere.. may be able to edit if you did..

good luck!

Re: 100 Years of Chevy Trucks- Are you a "Legend"?

Never having purchased or leased a new Chevrolet truck, I'm out of the running. meh, whatever. I like the thing, anyway. I'd like to think that no matter how it came into a person's hands, it could be a legend. It has over 215k miles on it, with a lot less maintenance than may be believed. I rebuilt the front end 2 years ago when I upgraded to disc brakes, and it had the original ball joints, tie rod ends and bushings. If that ain't legendary, I don't know what is. Rear springs and diff are also original, but I'm anal enough about wear that I will be putting new rear springs on, soon. The originals are pretty worn, and I'm not waiting for a stress crack to give me an unexpected drop in height.

If it has 215 on it you qualify. Don’t have to buy new or lease.

My brother got his stuff yesterday. I still have yet to get mine and i registered before him.

Basically my original truck at the 05-06 mark. Difference is I had big camper mirrors, no lowering molding and mine is a Custom Deluxe.
