Pullstart 62,913 #426 Posted November 6, 2019 I am not sure where these two finds of the day fit in as far as classics or vintage go, but they were worth me turning around for pictures! The “Zombie Killer” looks like an absolute blast to take the kids to the store in! The Shaggin’ Waggin’ looks like a remake of the van in Dumb and Dumber! Ironically, I found the van while I was turning around to grab a picture of the mud truck! 2 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #428 Posted November 17, 2019 This isn’t a vintage truck but it is a “vintage” picture that I just unearthed. Kelli and I finished the resto on our 1969 GTO right at the end of 2000. We were also in the process of a winter build on our home at the time. We moved in early January but had much to do to finish the house over the spring/summer/fall of 2001. THEN... This picture was taken the first time that the GTO was at our house. It was following the Memorial Day car show in Omro 2001. I had stored it the previous winter in a storage unit. You can see that we didn’t have our lawn in yet, nor the garage built, nor the final grade soil pushed around. Just me, my young beautiful bride, our first home, and my dream car... NOW... Same beautiful bride! Same dream car! Same starter home! The BEST additions to our lives EVER! Caleb, Claudia, Judge, and Zach God is good to me, better than I certainly deserve! 1 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom2p 2,394 #429 Posted November 17, 2019 for sure better than you deserve - but since you are a Wheel Horse guy you get the benefit of the doubt ! lol btw - when I look in my crystal ball I do see a vintage truck in the future for one of those kids ... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They day I brought my ‘69 C-10 home, I realized I was just the temporary owner... and my oldest Jada would some day have a vintage truck. The only problem, is finding something for the younger one, then me! I can’t wait to spend the hours of patience in the passenger seat teaching my little girl to drive a three on the tree... but hopefully before that with the concept of driving clutch equipped tractors and soon the buggy, she’ll have the clutch down pat and just work on shift patterns from there. https://youtu.be/uXJXfgxRHtA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom2p 2,394 #432 Posted November 17, 2019 That C10 looks very promising ; bed looks good ... solid ... sheesh with Michigan plates ... ? ... from the south or west coast ? maybe you can hide that one and find another for the kids ... 400 years or so ago I had a 68 Chevy short bed 4wd ... (K-10 ?) ... replaced the fenders, doors, cab corners, and got a bed from the south ... white deep dish steel wheels with chevy small chrome hub caps spruced it up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rarely do you see them in decent original shape for sale here in Wisconsin but this 1965 version showed up recently. I’m trying to figure out a way that I can buy it... Merry Christmas to me! Then I wouldn’t see my wife for about two weeks. After two weeks I might begin to see her out of my left eye... Non original wheels of course and late model bucket seats and radio but the claim is little to no rust. This one has the dual stick transfer case and the flip down windshield. Notice the u-hook on the hood that catches the latch on the top of the window. These were originally designed to compete directly with the ever popular Jeeps That came to fame during and after the Second World War. They were spartan but tough as nails. This one has a rebuilt original 152 CID international 4cyl. With 93hp! That won’t win any races! These were ALL WHEEL drive though with lockers front and back, almost impossible to get them stuck with the right tires. Its fun to dream!!! Maybe one day... our Scout was very similar to this one we had Jeeps before this - the Scout was much stronger *** ( *** stronger than a 4 cyl Jeep - but obviously no match for the V6 and V8 Jeeps ) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,177 #438 Posted December 31, 2019 These are definitely not vintage trucks other than the 86 K-20 and I will sneak in the 70 SS, hope that's ok. I did get permission from @PeacemakerJack to insert these trucks in here beforehand. All of these vehicles other than the SS were purchased new, and don't mind my fishing buddy in here pretending to be fishing before we launch the boat at the ramp, he does not get to go that often and gets a little excited when he does. As a matter of fact he bought the K 2500 ext cab from me in 2005 and still owns it with 175000 miles on it, I have been trying to buy it back but to no avail. Enjoy the pics. 1 1 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #445 Posted December 31, 2019 @JCM thanks a bunch for sharing those pictures. That beastly one ton with the utility box on it is now almost 20 years old (which puts it into the “antique” status here in Wisconsin! It feels weird to think that for me because 2001-2 only feels like a couple of years ago! i know I posted this one a few pages back but this was my dad’s oldest brothers truck. He bought it second hand in 1974. It was two years old at the time and became his daily driver. I remember riding to school in it with my aunt and five of my cousins!!!! Those were the days, who says you need an extended cab😂? Anyway, that truck was pretty rusty by 1982 and dad did a bunch of bodywork on it and painted it. These pictures were taken a short while after he had finished it. In 1990, my cousin managed to roll it on some icey roads only a mile or so from home. That truck seemed old to me at that time and it was only 18 years old. My current daily driver just turned 25!!!! Time certainly is relative. so... @JCM I really like the look of all those Chevy’s and my guess is that both @pullstart and @WVHillbilly520H are going to be fans when they see them too. I have always liked the A-body GM vehicles (partial to GTO’s as you guys know) but there are few things cooler than a 1970 Chevelle SS LS6. That seemed to me like the epitome of the musclecar era. Hard to imagine in just a few years the American auto industry would be struggling to field a vehicle with 200hp and styling that rivaled a cookstove in appeal🤢! Thankfully in the last 10 years we have seen some vehicles that can excite the emotions again. For me though, the musclecar era produced the most soul stirring vehicles ever! 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly meant no disrespect to your amazing ride Jeff! I apologize, as I reread my above post (typed late at night), it really sounded harsh concerning the late 70’s cars—sorry Bro! As with anything, there are and were exceptions. I must be more careful not to post blanket statements. I have seen some great muscle machines from the late 70’s and early 80’s of which yours is one. With the right parts and engine, they can have their own soul stirring personality as well. Someday (in the near future), I’ll get down by you and you’ll have to take me and the boys for a ride in that awesome Malibu of yours!!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josh, I was only adding to your "muscle car era" and yes the 60s and early 70s was the epitome of the GM FORD & MOPAR era "big block" engines in smaller bodies... All the car magazines of the 80s/90s high lighted the 50-60-70 era cars and still do for the most part but the G body which took place of the A body is starting to be the next generation of body on frame "muscle" Camaro/Firebird Mustang in my opinion are PONY cars ... And for the record you Josh have a true factory Muscle car the GTO ... my lil beater was basically an enemic gas sipping grocery getter from the factory I just happened to take it up a notch or 2 to what I remembered the most as I was coming of age. So let just say again I was just adding to your statement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
