I still love my old truck.

I've been on this forum for 8 years, about as long as I've had this current truck. These damn 60-66 trucks have been a part of my life since the 1960's.
It's funny, during the 80's, I didn't like the 67-72 trucks because they were too "modern" LOL. Now, I wish I had a really nice '67 to restore. Oh, well.
Anyway, My dad let me use a '64 C10 when I was in high school. Long bed, 3 on the tree, with factory air (in Arizona. Nice!) and a camper shell. Needless to say, the bed in the camper was used in my high school days. At the drive in. Rarely, but......
Not many high school kids had camper trucks in the '60s. It was very unique.
Since then, I've owned six other 60-66 Chevy trucks. This current one is a driver. It would work as a daily, even here in San Diego. I don't want to destroy it by commuting it everyday, though.
I can tell you this: These were DAMN GOOD trucks in their day. Toyota learned how to build decent vehicles from us, and these trucks are a great example.
