Re: Just welcomed a Chevy into my Ford Family...

I like em all. I once had a 72 C10 stepside.. Was one of my favorite trucks.
Had blazer bucket seats and a console. But no V8. Had a 250 six with three
on the tree..
Also had a 66 Chevy stepside with the same 250 engine and tranny..
It had the little rear window which I kind of liked.
I also had a 78 chevy 3/4 ton with a 350 and auto.. Pretty good truck, but it
drank the gas..
Back then, the chevy series changed in the same years as the Fords..
IE: that body style in the picture went from 67 to 72, same as the bumps.
In 73, they went to the square looking body, and Ford went to the dent side..
The 67-72 Chevy was probably one of the best looking body styles of the various
years Chevy trucks. They looked good as a short bed stepside.
Seems like the 72 I had, had sort of egg crate looking grill. It was different
than that one. I don't think the 72 had that horizontal bar in the grill with
the parking lights. But it's been a few years..

Best part about the chevy is if you have a cab and a frame you can build an entire truck.

Is that a 69 or 70?
