Ya, I like Mopar too. :)
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0306.jpg

But I Love Chevys. ;)

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0294.jpg

RE: Some pics I promised
 

So "chargedvette", is that 50 pics yet? :D
I lost count. :eek:
BTW, this isn't the parade, it's Friday Cruise in Sparks.
The parade was on Sunday in down town Reno.
I'll get to those soon. :)

RE: Some pics I promised
 

looks like an old 70-71Torino in the background ofthat last picture. Right behind the 5 window. what a great show that must have been.

My count.......34 great pictures, thanks for shareing.

RE: Some pics I promised
 

Pontiac, Olds, Buick and Chevy had a simular basic design in the "50s. Even a lot of the body parts were interchangeable. My point, note the simularity of the front grill to the one of a "57 Chevy.
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0297.jpg

The old panels and deliveries are very rare. Now I'm not real crazy about the color yellow, but this looks good.



http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0323.jpg

.....and I love the old pickups. ;)

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0325.jpg

RE: Some pics I promised
 

The original low rider. Sorry, it's a little out of focus.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0349.jpg

What the heck is this? :eek:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0243.jpg

RE: Some pics I promised
 

Now this, little monster, laid rubber everytime he put it in gear just to move forward.
I just bet he can pull the front end off the ground with noooo problem. ;)

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...HPIM0364-1.jpg

I'm startin' to run out of words, if ya can believe that. :D
I'll let these speak for themselves. ;)

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0361.jpg

So, y'all gettin' tired of the pics yet? I'm not, I haven't seen any of them full frame 'til I post 'em. :)So I'm kinda seein' them for the first time, just like y'all are. ( 'cept I was there;))

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0370.jpg


I amost missed this '55. Can't look everywhere at once.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0378.jpg

I can't recall for sure, but I think this was a split window.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...HPIM0375-1.jpg

RE: Some pics I promised
 

Don't these two look greast together?( and the 3rd one fits well too. )

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0381.jpg

Dang, I just couldn't get a good shot. See the front of a littlegreen Camero?
It was a RC car.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0379.jpg

It looks just like this one, that was right behind it.

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0380.jpg

RE: Some pics I promised
 

Note the "Thrush" sticker. Gobs of horse power there. :D

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0384.jpg

Only one change I would make to this PU, a chrome grill.
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0382.jpg

Just plain, nice Vette. ;)

I don't know why it happened, sorry about the blur. [&o]

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/HPIM0385.jpg

I saw lots of this vintage when I was a kid. Note the straight pipe commin' out of the top of the hood. ;)

This is my truck, a '76 KW. 350 Cummins, Fuller 13 sp. and 4700 gal tank. She's set up for construction and wild fire support.Too new for Hot August Nights, but still a good ol' girl. ;)
