RM Auctions: Add A Pickup To Your Collection - PickupTrucks.com
love the old truck articles keep coming , with every body doing a rertro re style I would love to see GM do a 68-72 over again . @gpc85, I have to agree with you and many others on here who have commented on the 67-72 Chevy's many times. They really should have made the wheelwells round on the new truck like this 1972 above and even that 1951 to get people excited again. I love all of the old Chevrolet trucks though. It's what made me the Chevy guy in a Ford family for many years. I can't think of a single Chevy truck pre-1999 that I don't love to be honest. The GMT800's and 900's just won't have a place in classic truck history like the 400's and those that came before it. Someday I'd like to restore a 1940 Chevrolet truck just for show. It will have to enjoy a spot next to a new Ford truck though. Much to the pleasure of my family Ford finally made me a convert with their modern day trucks. Ford has made some ugly trucks too. I don't care much for the Seventh generation (1980–1986) trucks, especially the ones they made with the huge holes in the frames to save weight. The current SuperDuty trucks with their massive protruding snout grills are ugly. I use to live in Houston (29 years) and I familiar with Charlie Thomas Ford. At one time Charlie Thomas Ford was Jim Sanders Ford in the 60s but. Source: news.pickuptrucks.com
