I was into building AMT model kits.I always thought the idea of hot rodding a PU was super-cool(like drag racing station wagons).They were usually shop trucks or support vehicles for race cars.When GM came out with the`67,wow!The truck of the future,yet so`67.This was the height of the muscle car hey-day.The Camaro came out,You could get anything with a big block or SS`d.The truck looked right at home next to these cars.They have had a following ever since.I chuckle when,over the years from time to time,people say,"those trucks are really comin`on".They`ve been runnin`around lowered and lifted since day-1.I just appreciate the old fellers(not so old when trucks were new)that have held on to them all these years.My first,a`72 SWB CustomDeluxe w/Highlander pkg.Bought in`73 off Chevy lot for$2800 because it had a big block.About 2 years later I was t-boned at an intersection,sad day.Since that truck,I`ve owned 6 short beds,2 Suburbans,4 Blazers,2 1tons,3 long beds,and 8 K20s or K2500s.I had 2 nice`78s only to sell them to get a`67-72.Just can`t kick it!5 at the house now,after selling a couple,had to thin-out.Also 2 buildings full of parts(none for sale,Grrr). :p
