Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

i have been driving mine for the past 4 or 5 months until about two weeks ago i decided to do a 5 lug disc brake conversion. so i have been driving our little mazda. There are a lot of kids that like it, they always ask me about it and complement it. its been a lot of fun for me in every shape and way.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

I'm 18 and a senior in high school. I'm on here quite a bit but so is my dad, we kinda share this account. But yeah I drive mine all the time, even in the snow and salt, hate to do it, but its my daily driver. Even got a chance to take some senior pictures with it! Here are a couple of pics.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

I started building mine at 14... Got it finished at 17, a week before graduation. Half the people at school thought it was a myth until they saw it. I'm almost 20 now and in college. I've driven it almost daily ever since.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

Well, I'm in my second year of college(19 years old) and I drove my dads 68 gmc for a year and a half til I got my 98. My brother also drove it to high school before me. As you can see in my sig, we've added a few more vehicles since then. I'm slowly building my 72 as time permits when I'm home, so it should be done by the end of college(hopefully this summer).

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

High schooler here, my truck is almost ready to be a daily driver, just need to replace the wheels and do a little brake work. Me on the other hand, thanks to a couple elective surgeries and a broken arm, I still need to get my license

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

Was working on 67-72's when I was in highschool, but never had one done enough to drive. Now I'm in college, and I drive the ol' girl every day to and from class.

Every one recognizes it - was even at a party, and once guy came up and said to me, "I knew you were here because I saw your truck, I just didn't know who you were."

Plus, the chicks dig it.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

Couldn't miss a chance to chime in on this topic! Senior here, trucks going to become my daily at the start of April after my enigne swap. Just got my new wheels in today. Funny thing is, a year ago at this time I was saying the same thing, "yeah guys! I'll be driving the truck after spring break in April!" Here I am a year later, and am finally at that point.

"I saw you broken down at..."
"I saw you at sonic..."
I saw you at so-and-so's Hosue..."

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

I'm 16, own 3 trucks, I usually drive my 84 daily, but it's off the road at the moment. I'm parting out my 72 and 68 if anyone needs parts. And I'm about to paint my 84 desert tan. Cant believe Lucky hasn't chimed in yet.
