Default My newest toy.

Thought I'd share this, for those that like the older trucks. I've been looking for awhile and finally found another 56 Chevy pick up to meet my nostalgic needs. Hope you like it.











I had a yellow 56 back in 67-70 for towing my racecars and wanted another one for some time. Of course, this one is a lot fancier.

Not my cup of tea, but it does look like. Give me a 92 S10 with a LS3 and 6 speed auto.

"but it does look like"

I mentioned my nostalgic needs. Years ago I had this and never had a S-10 but we're probably different ages too. So it works for me and yours will work for you.



Thanks for the comps guys.

Thanks, this one should be a smoother ride. As it's got a camaro front clip and all the newer stuff on it.

Between it and this one, I'm good. A couple of nice retirement toys indeed.

I like it. Now I'm thinking of defensive moves to keep idiots away from it.......

I know what you mean. I've got the full value/coverage insurance on it and just need to be careful with it.

I'm just going to enjoy it and hope for the best. Thanks

I'm not a big fan of yellow but I have to honestly say that truck wears it well.

The garage is still a work in progress, but so far, so good.
