Pennsylvania road trip - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This weekend, I went backpacking with some of my friends in the Allegheny National Forest in western PA. I love the beautiful scenery, and since I am now a proud owner of my 69, I was on the lookout for any 67-72 trucks, blazers, jimmies, or burbs. I only saw 1! It was sitting in an empty lot, and was only the cab, and the frame, 1/2 ton, 2 wheel drive, LWB. What's up with that? When I drove to southern Ohio about a month ago, I saw literally a couple dozen, some of which were even at used car dealerships! In my tiny hometown of about 3,000 people, there are at least 3 67-72's hiding in backyards and garages. Did some of you board members pick PA clean? lol

You know I haven't seen to many in PA either. All other states I live you see them all the time.

....i think 6772king pretty much got all the pa one's..lol...plus Ohio doesnt have inspections so when someone in pa had one that didnt pass it just got scrapped.....i think all the southern boys should send a bunch up ...we'll just scatter them through out the state as monuments...lol

My 67 is still in its winter cave, It was out a few hours last weekend to take a bath but heard that the white fluffy stuff was coming back and requested another week of hibernation.

You should had come this way, I could've had shown you at least 10, all from rust buckets to show material trucks.

Just within 1 mile from where I live there's at least 6 or 7.

Gotta work in my '67 now

I was there this time last year and saw a butt load of them. I think we saw well over 20 between the state line and Philly.

There aren't that many in my section of Pa. anymore. That's why I keep telling everyone to stop parting these trucks out! We need to keep the ones that are around alive. I did my part, I rescued 2.

Your state is next for no trucks. It's only going to get worse...
