Then I got wise and sold the S10 to buy a 96 Impala SS, which I still have, then I picked up a 65 Impala 4dr hardtop for a project, which I still have. Then I picked up a 71 Toyota FJ40 for a trail rig, but I sold it to buy my 72 Suburban to use as a family hauler. My current DD is a 96 C1500. I've never owned a car newer than 96.

I love fuel injection, but I love the curves and contours of old iron more.
I love my 75 nova it sat for several years and i finally fixed it up five or so years ago. The 73-74's were not my taste in any fashion.

Re: young people with old trucks

Ya up here you see squares left and right but when people see my 69 they turn there heads and pay attention when i come around and sometimes even catch up to me to ask and talk about it. Felt good right after i bought it because i had buyers remourse sense i never bought something that nice or exspensive.

Unhappy Re: young people with old trucks

there is a new sence in the Asian kids now here in Calif Its like what happened in the late 80's when it came to mini trucks every one did everything they could do to a mini trust and now it got to be boring.Its like the 1959--64 Impala's that faze came and gone.

And now the Imports are now suffering too now every one got into them small car's cus of Fast and the fureyes Most of the Asian guys want the Chevelles Chargers and old chevy trucks there looking for the Room and Plus they want to try there madness with this new technology going with electric motors and going Green.Most are looking for the old car's do to No smog in some states and they get a lot of looks where ever they go and there a investment.

So yes the young kids are going to come back to the old car's and truck But one problem will they be here when they come looking

Re: young people with old trucks

I'm 27 now, and started at 15. In highschool got at 70cst and still have it. Also had a 69c/10, 71c/10, and just retired a 82 suburban 4x4. A couple years ago I had a 03 sierra and sold it. Wasn't really a "truck" to me. Every day you would pass a dozen the very same. Swore I would never buy a "new" truck again. Just bought my new ride, 72 cheyenne super 4x4. She's no prize winner, but driveable and I'm not gonna pass another one like it in my town.

Re: young people with old trucks

1985ChevyK20 When you come on a 67-72 chevy truck thread and slam a 67 what are you looking for? A pissing match? What if one of us were to go the the 73-87 thread and slam your trucks saying there not worth as much or something like that?
Please keep in mind people dont like it when people bring down there trucks just as you wouldnt like it either... Lets not get this thread closed. All chevy trucks look awesome, some people like some more than others. Just remember the old saying TO EACH HIS OWN.

Re: young people with old trucks

Well I'm 28 now but I got my 67 when I was 16 and in the meantime I have owned a 63c10swb,67 GMC, 69 C20 custom camper/CST 396, 72 C20, 72 c10 highlander, 63 dodge 440, 75 K20, 60 K10, And the newest truck I've ever owned is my 90 Dodge W250 CTD and its still my daily driver with 400,000 miles.

I've always been into old iron and dont realy care to own a GM truck newer than 91(1ton) or a Dodge newer than 93(Has to be a Cummins).

Here is the old junk I currently own.
67 C20

60 K 10

Re: young people with old trucks

Lets see, I'm 23 and I've had my 70 GMC since I was 14, and purchased my 63 Nova and 68 K20 about 8 months ago after this last deployment and sold my 67 Chevelle 6 months ago.

We're into old cars, I drive mine more than most older people. I've driven 40 year old cars across the country more than most would be willing to do. Call me young and adventurous, but these rides used to be driven everywhere no matter the weather or distance.

(Oh, I do own a late model: 91.5 Dodge W250, but it's getting ripped apart after this deployment to donate the drivetrain to my K20)

Re: young people with old trucks

This is my first post and i drive old cars/trucks all the time (weather permiting). Im 19 years old and just started my 72 chevy 3/4 ton 4x4. I already have a 454 going in it will hopefully be doing a write up with lots of pictures. Since i turned 16 i was driving my dad's 69 camaro 66 caprice 65 impala and alot more to school and everytime its nice all i can think about it gettin the old cars out! Love the Forum and so far found it very helpful on my build-in-progress.

Re: young people with old trucks

Thanks man, It still surprises me how many compliments I get on that crusty old looking K10.

BTW this is the truck I traded for when I got my 60

Re: young people with old trucks

I'm 21 and rocking my '68 C10. Not my first old ride, I've had an '88 K5, '71 Bug, '65 Mustang, yadda yadda... Probably about 17 different vehicles overall.

Re: young people with old trucks

I'm 25! I feel like I'm still 16, so I still qualify right? I'm working on a '67 Stepside with a TBI fuel injected 350/700r4 Auto trans. I guess since it's not done, I can't drive it.... The day will come! Until then I'll keep drawing pictures of how I want it to look!

Re: young people with old trucks

Well you see a few older rides with the younger people driving them around my area but also alot of tuner stuff also. Luckly my 13 yr old likes the old trucks better so below is a pic of the truck we bought to fix up for him when he turns 16. I am so glad becouse when I was in high school (class of 90) I drove a 65 mustang that I bought when I was 14 and fixed it up to drive and I know I thought alot of that car and the kids that drove the new stuff just did not seem to care about their cars very much they tore the heck out of them.
