Is it possible to rename this thread "vintage pictures" like the original thread, rather than vintage trucks? Most of the site is about vintage trucks. But this is about old pictures of these trucks when they were new, which has its own cool factor. And there are some very cool period photographs in here. Even where SKT and Wikid61 make us play squarebody Where's Waldo, haha.

I sold that '84 to a friend's brother who drove it for years. I loved that truck.
Here are some other pictures of it. First is how it looked when I first got it. Actually, the small used car lot I got it from also had a body shop. The original owner had Doeskin Tan painted on the side like factory 2-tone. That paint was chalky plus I wanted it solid color, so he gave me a deal on an overall paint job. I bought all new GM trim for it. It also had dumbo mirrors and I changed to N.O.S. Camper/towing mirrors. Also had him remove the tailgate trim. This was a work truck and the last thing it needed was a big brushed aluminum panel across a void waiting for it's first ding
I had my buddy letter and pinstripe it, as well as do a desert scene mural on the tailgate where the trim was. This picture is, obviously, on a jobsite. The red '87 K20 was my buddy's who worked for me
A glimpse on the job
And where's Waldo?
Here is the '78 Scottsdale Camper Special I had a while before that '84. It had a wood floorboard
