Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

I bought my first one when I was 19, still have it but shes just sitting for now. And just bought my 67 at 24. I will be 25 in feburary and plan on buying another one soon. Wish I would have got one a LONG time ago, for as much as I have put into all my other vehicles I could have one really BAD A$$ truck by now.

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

I'm 41, have had my 67 three years. I drove dad's 70 3/4 ton for the first time when I was 12. He sold it before I got my license. Need to get mine on the road!

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

My parents bought my 69 second hand, in 1977. I bought it off them in 1987, when I turned 16. Have had it since. Hasn't seen too many miles the last 10-15 years, but I have gotten the bug to work on it, and drive it again.

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

I bought my 1968 when I was 15 and was driving it when I turned 16. I am now 35 and still driving it, not every day but I did put 2400 miles on it this year. I also had a 1971 for a couple years and a lot of parts trucks including 3 that I still own. I also have a buddy that is 59 that has a 1969 Chevy C10 stepside.

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

I got mine when I was 35 in 1995. My friends laughed at me for driving a "old beater". After I built the motor they quit laughing.

Re: Average age of 67-72 c10 owner

As I was thinking about this, I realized that I have had more trucks than I thought. I started with 66 stepside at 18 then it went to:
71 short box fleetside
75 Gentleman Jim GMC
74 3/4 ton long box
87 Custom Trucks of Texas shortbox
98 Ext Cab shortbox 4X4
00 Ext Cab shortbox 4X4
69 GMC Short stepside

Plus a couple of parts trucks I am 58 now and only have the last two trucks.
