Thanks! It's lots of fun and the ladies all think it's cool. Always loved these trucks since i was 5 or 6 years old, remember my family's friend had a 77 gmc which may be why i slightly prefer that style truck still to this day. Oh well, got an old chevy now lol.

I think its the same for me. My grandpa had an 86 stepside, and the family travel hauler was a 86 Suburban. The crazy thing was, both had similar paint, and my dad and grandpa hadn't talked in years, then discovered they had similar taste in trucks.

I've had 12 or so of these over the last 13 years, got my first one when I was 15. Most of the 12 were parts trucks, but yeah.

Yeah, I'll make sure I always own one of these. Expensive to run being a student though, may sell it and keep the money to buy one when I graduate and get a real job... currently a university student.

Maybe. My next truck will have to be a high end trim one too though, High Sierra or Silverado.

Amen, brutha. Fortunately, I have my HHR for the MPGs, and since we live in a lake-strewn area with a big yard (new house), he'll always be able to serve some purpose.

I like when I go places a lot of the older lad's like my fathers age all compliment me and tell me stories of their old chevys themselves. Truck is suprisingly fast too, I might take it to run the 1/4th mile, just curious of what it'd do. It seems a bit quicker then my car even with 3.08's in the rear.

Every time I tell my 5 year old daughter about the possibility of trading Earl for a newer model, she reminds me that she wants me to keep him for her to drive when she grows up.
It's almost kinda weird how much she loves that thing, but I've always kinda gotten attached to my vehicles, too.

It's a very clean truck. I wouldn't sale it if I was you, you will regret it.
My regrets selling my 67 Dodge dart GT, My 64 impala, and 74 el comeano.

Too late..... Truck is sold.

Going to try and save up another 4 and get a mint 5.0 mustang from Florida next summer and do a few things to it for a summer toy I guess. Going to miss it though.

Bought back my old dirtbike for $1000, some of the money I got from selling the truck. It needs a connecting rod and a few bearings in the crank .. the top end isn't too bad but I got another top end kit for it to freshen it up (Eric Gorr 144). Working on getting the crank straightened out, should be a win, win, win situation. Probably sell the bike and buy another 73-87.
