Hi Joe22883
When I was a kid, growing up on the farm, my dad got my brother & I a black lab pup. With the farm house close to the road, a week later, the pup got run over by a car, while my brother and I was playing football beside the house. My parents would not replace the dog and that was a hard lesson learned. Then when I was 17 years old, I saw the "doberman gang" movie, where these 6 dogs were trained to rob a bank, without people inside. I remember saying to myself - "these dogs are smart & I am going to get one as soon as I leave home". That basically started my dobe addition, as a family dog, but this time I became a trainer.
Your C-10 looks really MINT and these pickups are quite a classic today - ThkU for sharing pic. / brought back some old fun memories.
Plus 35 years ago, my neighbors dad got a new '68-70 Chev. truck, so off to the drive-in every Saturday night, we went. The oldest boy was 16 with a drivers license, my twin brother & I was 15 and the drivers brothers was 14, all crammed in the new pickup. As soon a we got into the closest town, off we go into the gas station for Colt cigars and wooden matches. Next stop at the drive-in, for 1 pass and 3 kids letting on there 12&under with free admission. That summer, all 3 of us kids got into the drive-in for free in the C-10 while one night the guy in the ticket booth said "we were going to drive him to drinking" and he was already hammered. We all had a good laugh, at that one.
I still remember the driver of this brand new C-10 sticking the wooden match on the dash panel cluster of the new pickup, along the black grainy texture. I personally didn't think this was a bright idea, as the match left burn lines on the black plastic instrument cluster. The next morning the drivers dad and owner of the brand new C-10 truck gave his boy s*** for being so inconsiderate with the new wheels.
My AMY cried 24/7 for me when she came out of last years most critical surgery. As soon as her IV ran out I took her home. The Vet's and staff liked her, but her constant whine/whine/whine for me was to much to bear. She just wanted to recover at home, never did liked being in a cage.
Her desire & fight to live, was a swift miracle (she went into septic shock on the operating table & the Vet didn't gave up either) & I got my old girl back after a 1 day stay, away from home.
