Hey Benny, thanks for doing these videos! I was up there, in the main building, I know you don't go in there because of the jukeboxes. Were you out at the meet Friday or Saturday? Also, did you see a light green and white 75 GMC long bed, in the section in front of the main building, between there and the road? That truck was my Dad's first new vehicle....we had to sell it a few years ago, glad to see it's still on the road. I think it is a vendor's truck, and probably not for sale.
Over heard that one traveler , “alot of field cars being pulled out here are coming out of the woodwork . That was pretty clear , a lot of old hot rods . I guess that one episode of gas monkey where RR paid $22 k for an old running monza was a historic rise to the blown motor car holders .
Whoa Nelley, square body and it's not shoddy. That gray one is quite clean, but those lowered springs have to go. That K5 seems to be hiding some sins underneath that blue paint. The 1993 Allante is the only year to have the Northstar V8 in it. 1986 is the last of the square body CK trucks. They would be RV Series (as square bodies) from 1987 to 1991. Yes, "Trailering Special" and it looks like "12,000 GCW (Gross Combine Weight)". I like the LeMans Sport, but for $37k the engine compartment should be immaculate and the AC should be hooked up and working. We know that based on the registration sticker, the 1976 square body that's a fire truck was made in the Atlanta, GA plant because the last digits of the VIN are on the sticker and there's an "A" on it. That would be the Lakewood Height plant that closed in 1990. Yup, your wheel problem is like my Craftsman too problem. LOL. I can't pass up a good toolbox or tool deal. Check the Gran Torino for another #42793 Craftsman ratchet buried in the radiator support. LOL. I just came across that ratchet the other day---still works great after I rebuilt it.
My guess is that the square Body craze is in full effect right now with the OBS right behind it isn't helping the 67-72 much. Add to that, most of the time 67-72 trucks require much more work to get them just to a driver where as the OBS and even some square Bodys can be drivable quickly. Parts are generally cheaper, in better shape, and easier to find as apposed to 67-72. You hardly see 67-72 in the Junkyards these days where as square Bodys are still being junked and you'll trip over OBS stuff. There is also the age thing. Younger guys grew up around the square Body and OBS. Heck even the NBS trucks are starting to come up
I remember people picking up square body’s in high school for 700-1500 bucks, my last 77 I sold for 800 and a beat up Yamaha blaster , of coarse that was 25 years ago lol Edit: running and driving square bodies
Been waiting for part 2

A friend of mine here in my town was originally from Conroe. He passed away a year or two ago. Last name Hutto.
Good job
That extra cab ranger was clean and reachable
Those are chevy 2500 wheels on that super cab ford dentside.
Yup I saw that too! I think I saw that truck out there Saturday and thought something didn't look right....

The Camaro was cute Benny
Yea I don't know, that "No rust" Blazer looked like it had bondo spots on the lower tail gate and lower side panels.
Great looking GM vehicles, really liked the Corvair along with all the square bodies.
I'm in California and looking for box Chevy caprice classic two-door parts like door panels any color ! 1978

37k for the Leman...they worth a lil bit
Is everyone over the 67-71 c10 now? I have 2 of them , definitely not pristine, I don’t see much of them anymore

I have never seen a Big 10 in a short bed
Say the prices can't read on camera most time
