Remember when

I remember when these trucks were being given away for like 2k on the regular and everyone drove one but no one really wanted one.

 

My first truck was a 1978 Chevrolet, someone swapped a 6.2 liter diesel in it and it stayed broke down more than I drove it.

 

I had a c10 for a little bit (couple months), it would cut out and quit running for unknown reasons. Sold when i got married and had to move.

 

My buddy in hs had a 79 long bed we would always take to lunch . The driver door wouldn't open and everyone had to get in through the pass side. The horn would also go off whenever it felt like it. 305 sounded like a diesel.

 

I had another one, it was a 1982 with an inline 6 cyl and 3 on the tree, 2wd. Bought it from my father in law before I started dating his daughter for $300. It was a piece of junk and I did a little work on it and sold it for not much more than I had in it.

 

That red one I currently have is worth like 38k ......insane.

 

My dad bought a brand new one in 1987 that looked like this, 1/2 ton long bed. I'll have to see if he remembers what he paid for it new. He sold it after about 5 years of owning it.

 

This looks like my prom



Proof

 

To be fair my red one is tricked out but still. Even a bone stock version brings 21k or so

 

Fixed it for you.

 

Remember when cars/trucks only had lap belts.......and we didn't wear them

 

Road trips in the cargo area of a suburban lol

 

I do. Even standing up on the seat (& in the front in pax cars) when I was small enough to do so. Then about 1959-62ish, my dad became Base Safety Officer for Ellsworth AFB in SD. He made us and everyone else wear them religiously! He even had those aircraft style stickers "Fasten Seat Belt" affixed to the dash in every one of our vehicles.

 

My buddy's '68 XR-7 had both lap belts and shoulder belts, which were tucked into the overhead roofliner on clips.
If I even thought on fastening them, he'd throw me out...

 

I will inquire.... What was your prom song?

 

You really think I can remember back that far? Lower your standards!

Or maybe it was the cocktails
