Your first 67-72 pics

[Chevyman680063]

It's been sitting like that for 8 years unfortunately. Money is the main issue. I have another frame for it but I've got to see if I can get it cleaned up and sanded with an air sander and some rattle can Rustoleum. Then the really big problem is transferring the cab over on my own.

Here is mine...before and after

You guys are bumming me out.

Okay, here's mine, my friends and I called it the "Pumpkin". 71 stepside with a straight six and 3 on the tree when my dad bought it for me as my first car when I was a freshman in high school. It was pretty much an all original truck when we purchased it. We replaced the motor and tranny with a 327 and a 350 tranny. It was our first experience at everything involved in swapping a six cylinder for a V8 in these trucks and we learned a lot from it. Cut the coils in the front and heated the springs in the back to get it to sit right (believe me, it didn't ride well at all!). Sold the truck my senior year to fund our next project (chopped and shaved 67 short wide). I've got a lot of great memories of this old truck and I guess you could say it's where my love for the 67-72's started. Forgive my clothes in the picture, it was 1992!

The fourth pic is what happens when one of those little import tuners with someone behind the wheel who thinks he's on a race track hits it and the last pic is of how it currently sits.

I would hate to see what the tuner looks like if it did that to american steel. Hope it gets a new life once again. Matt

I've seen this truck around before.... Just can't remember where. Think I've seen if a few times.

Edit- Here's a pic the day I got mine in June '09.

[special-K]

Hot Trux,that's the best one yet!

[franks72]

1989. My first was a 70 cst 402,air,pb,auto,and no power steering, what a bear to turn with the wide tires in the front if you wernt moving.

Here is the Circuit Rider in the summer of 2000

[68Stepbed]

This is how mine looked in the summer of 2000 when I got it.




In all of her 6-cyl glory.

[Palf70Step]

I started late I guess. I didn't get into trucks until the early 90s and haven't left since. My first 67-72 (and only except for a parts truck) is the 70 I got in July of 2002. It is getting closer to being on the road again and no more 6 banger.

[special-K]

Here's my first K/20 after I had it a while. I think this was in '82:



Here's my first Blazer from '83:

[CircusWagonJim]

After wanting one of these trucks BAD since I was 12, I got my first one when I was 20 in 1987. After working on it a little (primer on front) I found the black truck and sold the green one.

[67chevy1series]

wow i like the green one it was a nice little project

[Gene]

I had a plain jane 67 shortwide after I sold my 70, I sure wish I had that one back. When I sold it in late 80's it didnt have any cab rust! Lovin the pics guys.

In hindsight yes, but I only paid 2,200 for the black one that was wayyyy nicer than the 6 cyl. stick stripper that didn't even run!

Love to buy them both back today for what I paid for them!
