Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread

RyanPartridge, excellent pictures. The picture of the empty cars parked on the hill just begs a story.

Don't get distracted by the '67.


Look very closely...

That's a great photo too! I love all the dirty mechanics (now they would be called "techs" )

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread

Nice photo. I don't ever remember seeing a TF Suburban with fender skirts. And with rockets no less. And non-stock hubcaps and a license plate that's below the rear...

Hotrod Suburban!

I guess I’ll be the naysayer but i really dislike skirts on any car but ESPECIALLY on trucks. Ugh.

Just for you, Dan.



I don't actually like wheel skirts either. I just happen to think the blue truck is a beautiful example of a late '50s mild "hop-up."
