Old Pickup Trucks

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

I like pickup trucks. The older ones, built in the 1960s & 1970s, look better than most modern trucks.

I like the wide-body, 3-seater pickup trucks. When I was in the Army, we had a 3-seater truck in our motor pool that I’d use for work details. It was easy to drive and reliable.

Does anyone else like these old trucks? I prefer the Chevys.

Yeah I live in a farming community and they had a little truck show a few weeks ago… about 20 trucks of that vintage. You would have loved it. You know what happened? Some the farmers left the trucks in the agri-grounds over night and some little s~~~s busted all the windows. The parents were super cool about it and turned the kids in and paid for the windows.

The town put the kids on clean up duty about town. You don’t see that kind of thing anymore.

My granddad was a farmer and had a ’63 Chevy when I grew up in the late 80’s. He had retired from farming but worked as a cemetery grounds person and used the truck to take his tools to the cemetery. It was an old rusty beast with holes in the floor board but I used to love bombing out to the cemetery in that thing as a kid…

I like this vintage of truck. But i’d like to have the modern engine power, a/c and heat at least.

Yeah they are useful and some are nice looking if you don’t skimp on the options.

I’d probably redo interiors to modern and make swap seats and put electronics and A/C in.

If you keep spare distributors and starters around these will run after an EMP.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

I see a fair number of them on the road around me still, many still look very good. I wouldn’t mind having one.

No longer can we walk away, we must run. Remove the motive power.

I saw a 32 model B pickup done all original just the other day!
I had to give it a walk around. 1932 to 1938 were the gilded years for beautiful bodies, works of art, many hammered out on power hammers in the Unites States and Germany while the English used the English wheel, Those days they rolled and hammered out the sheet metal like it was pizza dough, stretching and shrinking it into parabolic air-stream shapes, Gothic shapes! The most beautiful car bodies are hickory skeletons with sheet metal stretched to fit over the wood.

I can’t help it, I worked around these cars and assisted in some of the work restoring them, you wouldn’t believe how much work goes into duplicating the fenders bodies and panels on some of the rusty stuff that comes in flapping allover cause the rust ate everything. The last wood frame fender car I’m restoring is a 1950 MG TD, I had a Midget and always wanted the TD, I love the British exhaust sound, that unique brummm brummm brummm, and the TD has rack and pinion steering so it handles good! Stopping is another story, so is Lucas electric, the prince of darkness.

Good. I hope they learned their lessons, dammit.

This site has some nice photos of a 1966 Ford pickup. I like when they get restored:

This is an Aussie version of a US ute known as the Chrysler Valiant. Love the thing to death to be entirely honest.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

Use to own a 1966 C10 fleetside. Dark green with white cab. At the time I needed a more dependable form of transportation so traded it,…regret regret regret.

Some time I would like to find a Cab forward jeep or a chevy 3100.
