Re: 30 Years
I like the fact that it still looks pretty much the same, minus a few accessories from back then.

Re: 30 Years
I love hearing this. Good for you. I wish I could say the same. These trucks had more original owners for that kind of time than any other vehicle I know. These trucks were built to be loved!

Re: 30 Years
Thanks for sharing! Is it original paint? Has there been any rust repair?

Re: 30 Years
Congrats!
The irony is that (to me) it looks like an "old mans truck" in the early days pic with all the accessories, the recent pic looks like something a young guy would drive. I've owned mine for 18 years. Mine looks NOTHING like it did when I got it.

Re: 30 Years
Congrats on the 30 year marker! It's nice to hear some other's have kept their rides and not sold them.
I will have my 30 years next March for the 71. I wouldn't sale it for any amount unless my family was in need. My 71 and I have seen a lot of miles together and it's seen a lot of mods also over the years.

Re: 30 Years
Congrats! Great looking truck.
I'm sure there are a lot of older folk that wish they'd had the foresight to keep at least one of their first vehicles -me included.
