What a cool thread. So many memories. How come they never start with my Mom bought this truck?

This is me when I was young. Dad bought this truck when I was 2 months old, me and my son are building it now.

I know this vintage photo has been previously posted but I wanted to add a contemporary photo at the same location (Duluth, MN) that I took earlier this week.

10 years ago we had just finished this El Camino, and the wife and I drove through Duluth on a road trip. Just as we got there, a windstorm hit and blew stuff everywhere. It sounded like the El Camino was getting sandblasted, but it faired well. The wind knocked the power out, and pretty much upset everything. we didn't get to stay there that night.

I love that El Camino!

Thanks Dale. It may be the most fun car to drive we have ever built. I've put over 40,000 miles on it since the restoration.

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-10-2019, 08:46 AM

Nice pics

**DeadheadNM** · 07-10-2019, 08:40 PM

Bummer. Duluth is a nice place to visit in the summer if you get the opportunity to return. Lots of activities and (in keeping with the thread) vintage things to appreciate such as steam locomotives, light houses, Babe Ruth autographed baseball, lift bridges, old boats...

**Vicente Aceves** · 07-10-2019, 08:58 PM

I bought my blazer from the original owner who was in a blazer club in Southern California. One of their members took a photo of the group from up on a hill. He told me that the photo was taken while on a trip to Bishop Ca I believe. His is the medium gold one in the front row.

**Vicente Aceves** · 07-10-2019, 08:59 PM

Apologies for the sideways picture!

**DeadheadNM** · 07-10-2019, 09:02 PM

Great pic! Would love to see a higher resolution image.

**Vicente Aceves** · 07-10-2019, 10:23 PM

Ya I thought it was pretty neat. The original picture wasn't terribly clear to begin with. So I borrowed the photo and had it blown up. The original is an 8x10 I think.

It also makes me wonder how many of the trucks in that picture are still around today. Or any of the original owners or new owners of those trucks on this forum.

**FirstOwner69** · 07-11-2019, 12:56 AM

My son just sent me this link from "Truck Camper" magazine about 1969 campers. https://www.truckcampermagazine.com/...r2SLs360i4OsP4 . It shows Chevys, GMCs and the other brands with campers. Here are some pics with the GM trucks. I think I saw a thread about a week ago with some pictures of a service body that looked similar to the one in one of the pictures.

Are you there Jocko?

**FirstOwner69** · 07-11-2019, 12:57 AM

One more... A camper for an El Camino!

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-11-2019, 06:23 AM

Some very cool ads. The El Camino is a bit different. Iwonder what it weighed

**davischevy** · 07-11-2019, 11:19 AM

Cool stuff.

I can't imagine trying to drive an El Camino with an overhead camper.

I agree. ....I love driving mine but it's not good at carrying a big load.

Must be some kind of photo op. Fender skirts are usually installed after the car is delivered to deter theft.

**Boog** · 12-14-2019, 07:52 PM

As were the wheel covers I believe.

True, but since they weren't on these vehicles, I left that out. Right out of high school I detailed cars for delivery for awhile. Put on a ton of hub caps and wheel covers!

**BlazerBill** · 08-15-2019, 12:00 PM

He’s you ice cream man stop him when he passes bye. My first Blazer, a 69 early 90’s. $1,500 all the smog equipment removed couldn’t smog it (had to in those days)
