Let's get away from problems and upgrades for a while and enjoy some vintage photos. Post 61 thru 66 trucks in their prime, sporting original coats of factory applied paint here. I'll start with this one.

 

I might have got the first pic from here off of one that you posted in another thread second one I stumbled upon thought it was a great pic

 

Nice, in the first photo the car in the foreground is a 65 Impala, looks like a Valiant in the background.

 

 

Love the architecture of those old gas stations!

 

come on guys add to this thread. sorry i have nothing to add at this time .

 

I have other pictures of this truck, but this is a good one of Ernie next to his truck in the early years. Ernie has since passed on but the truck is owned by the current owner of the "Tin Room" Bar and Grill and still sports what I believe is the original paint job. I've known the owner of the Bar and Grill since Kindergarten.

Agreed. These period photos and illustrations are appreciated by many of us!

An era when gas stations were also service stations.

And one from the mid 80s of the same truck
