My Truck

[SuperStockAndy]

Okay, not sure if this should be posted here or in the 1:1 reference pics section. Please move it if necessary

So I have a '71 Chevy K/20. Been a ranch truck all 41 years of its life, hence all the scratches and dents

We put a 4" Rough Country lift on it, and some Ultra 164 16" rims.

All the scratches and dents are what make these trucks. They built these for work trucks and is exactly what they are good for. I had a 2WD when I was in High School, and I loved the ol girl. You do have a very nice truck here, and I wouldnt change the paint I like it that way.

Thanks Jerred

The dents and scratches do indeed give it character, but I plan on repainting it the factory Hugger Orange/white combo.

My mothers first truck was a '72 Chevy that didn't like to idle at red lights,I am actually going to make her one for her b-day.

So long as he's legally on private property (as in it's his parents ranch) it shouldn't matter.

Very nice Andy, I am jealous of that truck but I am sure you have worked hard on it and will take great care of it. I really like the color combo and the lift gives it a nice aggressive look!

When you say "driving around the house", I always think of this.------------->

No rust is a good thing.... Especially in Indiana, the land of salted roads and rusty rocker panels.... Very nice looking old Survivor!

Nice truck andy.take good care of her and she will treat you right.

That is a real nice truck Andy. The tires look great on it.

My dad had a 72 and I just loved that truck. It suffered from a little rust so he sold it to buy an 80 chevy pickup. I loved that truck to.

For a 41 year old work truck, it looks amazing from what I can see from the pic. Had to be very well cared for and not abused. You've got a winner there. Wouldn't change it anymore than you already have.

[SuperStockAndy]

Thanks guys

Chris, the truck came from South Dakota, so dry there that cars don't rust

Andy, this was a ranch truck, so it was BRUTALLY abused. It looked pretty rough when we got it (about 5 years ago to the day), but after about 10 waxes, we got her shiny again

These pics I took today show off the beautiful dents

Thanks Andy

Andy,

That is a very nice truck and I would enjoy it as it is. If you tear it apart and repaint it, you will be hesitant to drive it anywhere. You have a "survivor" there, nothing wrong with that.
