Probably my favorite body style is 68 to 72 Chevy C10s.

My first truck was a '68 C/10 step side. I put 10" aluminum slot rims with low profile 60s all around. It had a 327 with the Powerglide two speed.

I almost bought a truck with a power glide tranny before I got my '81 chevy. Almost traded that in for a Toyota 4x4. My dad scared me off the Toyota. He said if I get stuck in that I was stuck for real and he knew I was a risk taker as he heard of the shit I did in my 2 wheel drive. I agreed. He is smart guy.

They can handle 1,500 HP from the factory. That tranny is what most drag cars ran back in day. Came stock in so many GM applications. It was overkill at the lower end vehicles it was put in for sure. They made a cast iron and a cast aluminum version. If you find an aluminum one grab it, it's worth some money....

Had a "friend with benefits" that a rig like that.

What was his name?

I have seen them put in on the cheap for drags today. Motortrend shows....

My father-in-law has a '72 GTO

This is so weird.
Out of all the GTO's, a '72 or '73 would be at the top of my list.

And then I wouldn’t mind having a very old truck. My dad had a guy who used to work for him who had a 1948 Ford pick up truck. I’d love to have one of those.

It's funny, because when these cars were new, nobody wanted them.

They were considered 'cartoon' cars. They were 'out of place'. No adults wanted them.

You never saw many if any Judges.
And Dealers couldn't 'give' the Superbirds away, and they sat on their lots forever.

We used to laugh at both of those cars when they were new.
