2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 – Darrel C.

Had this truck since it was new. I use it for off roading, camping, and trout fishing. I’ve never had a breakdown. I enjoy it every time I drive it. It’s 23 years old and drives like new and starts every time.

1959 Chevy Apache – Doug K.

First vehicle I drove was a ’59 Apache when I was 5. It was in a harvested wheat field while my mother was swathing an adjacent field. I was hooked by the sound of a roaring v-8 with a rusted out exhaust. Got in some trouble of course. After 42 years of a law enforcement…

1997 Chevy Silverado 1500 – Tamakia C.

I’ve owned more 97′ Chevy’s than most 40 year Olds (I’m 28). I was born in 97′ and a Chevy truck from that year will forever and always be my go-to truck, my ride or die. My current truck is probably the most favorite out of all the ones I’ve owned. Her name is Big…

2004 Chevy Silverado – Reese L.

This is my first truck I’ve had since I was 16. I am 19 now, and to be honest I wanted a square body but I got this, so I brought the 70’s to her and now I’m building this truck the way I like. I’ve added some before and now photos.

1962 Chevy C10 – Brandon S.

I have owned my 1962 C10 since I was 15 years old. Growing up my dad had a 1960 short bed step side 4×4 almost his whole life and I knew I wanted to own my own 60-66 C10. I began my search, and one day my phone rang and it was my grandfather. He…

1977 Chevy K10 – Luke L.

The story begins 30 years ago when a 15 year-old boy was starting to look for his first vehicle. Being on a farm there was only one choice; it had to be a truck, and in my family, a GM is preferred. After talking with my parents about letting me get a truck, and the…

1978 Chevy K10 – William W.

Hi, my start on my ’78 Chevy k10. The truck started out being my uncles, my grandfather bought it from him to use as a pallet truck. My grandfather got cancer and I started rebuilding it for him. But he ended up passing away before I was able to get it done. I put it…
