Speaking of gas tanks, I had an 86 Chevy stepside with the "exploding" side-sadldle gas tanks. What a crock and 60 Minutes had to pay GM handsomely for that libel if I remember correctly. The things that I loved most was that it was so old school: step-side chassis, wood bed, 5 digit odometer, small profile, V8, 350 trans, but power windows, locks, steering, brakes, cruise control, AC, etc. It was nicer and updated but used the same proven parts since 73. Never had a real problem with it. Driving from Lubbock to Taos, NM circa 1992 I really appreciated those dual tanks. Wasn't gas less than $1 a gallon? Ah, the good old days. Now that AARP says I'm a se ior citizen I'm allowed to remainecese like this, right? (Just to be clear, their application went into the garbage.)03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:58 pmYep, and I forgot the coolest part. The gas tank was behind the seat! Hahaha. I wish I still had that 1966 Chevy. The older trucks are going for some pretty good money these days.jason812 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:47 pmYep. My first truck was a 68 F100 with a 360 and 3 speed on the column. 4 wheel drum brakes, no power steering, no ac, and no carpet. I still have it but it needs work. Haven't driven her in 20 years. Nowadays, you could leave the keys in it and winding down. Nobody would know how to steal it03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:12 pm Years ago I had a 1966 Chevy with 3 on the tree and a straight 6. There was not even carpet in it...LOL. Oh... and no A/C.
