That article is very informative and entertaining.  You gotta give ole Billy Durant credit for his drive.

chevy's latest truck commercial shows the first or an early chevy truck then it morphs from generation to generation. The thing is with that commercial they completely skipped the 73-87 as if they were embarrased of them or something. I wish I had a link to the commercial.

Seems like they highlighted the trucks that ALL of america could easily identify! Sad thing is, there's only about a million 73-87's trucking the roads this very day!

Anybody want a 62 corvair pickup? Maybe one with a 572 bigblock crammed in the back? I laughed when I saw the stock pic in the history report, but actually saw a fairly nice one at a Corvette specialist down the road from where I work that was setup for prostreet. Had the big prostock scoop and all right behind the cab.
