Good job “Steven’s Dad”!

Am I the only one who misses two-tone paint jobs on pickups?

I really like these videos where a person tells the story of his or her vehicle and their relationship with it. Hopefully there will be more videos like this on the channel!

My grand dad had a 1972 Yuma Yellow C10 that I learned to drive on his farm. Trusted me to drive his brand new truck. Loved that old man. Never had much to say, but his actions spoke volumes.

Great story, on all levels. Particularly liked the factory appearance w/ the retirees. Well done.

Man! what a story! So emotional. And the meeting at the factory, woooo man, unbelievable. Thank you for sharing, and I love this truck, so classy and takes you back on time.

Awesome story, reminds me of my early teens. The freedom you get once you get your driver’s license.

This really makes me miss my 1972 C10. Being in the rust belt it literally rotted out around me, when I took a right turn through a puddle my leg got wet and it had so many patch jobs I simply could not keep up with it. I did take the 350 engine out and rebuilt it a few years later when I started to make more money and put it in a 79 Grand Prix, that was a lot of fun. Out of the vehicles I have had it is really the only one I truly miss. Thanks for the video.

Great story... Good video... maybe add a little more detail about the mechanicals of the truck and what it meant to be fully loaded in 1971.

This is how I feel about my Uncles 1976 Toyota T100. Drove us to and from the beach surf trips, lagoon swims, grub runs and cow feeds many a times. He's since past and my other Uncle now has it, untouched in the garage. Man, how id love that truck but don't think it would survive here in Southern Ontario. Great story and series!!

That truck is beautiful! I follow you guys from Argentina. I have a 1980 F-100 that I plan to keep forever if I can.

Beautiful story Howard ... very touching as well !!!

Wow, what a heartwarming story. Thanks for sharing.

Great story! I love that generation of Chevy trucks. In particular the 71-72 models. Moving the lights from the grille to the bumper really cleaned up the grille in those models. I love all old trucks but there was just something about the 67-72 c10 that made it a true gem.

Getting your dad's car or truck is a special thing. When my dad went down with cancer, I took over his payment on his 2011 5- speed corolla, in order to save it for my dad's estate, rather than let the dealership take it for nothing. When the succession was finally wrapped up, I had to sell it to level things with my siblings. I wish to this day that could have found a way to keep that perfectly non-descript but oh-so precious vehicle. If you ever have the chance to hold on to your dad's car (or get another of the same type), don't let that bad boy go if you can in any way keep it. You will never get a second chance at that vehicle. I would do almost anything to drive my dad's car again, now that he is gone.

I could listen to this guy talk all day!!!🙂

Amazing heartwarming story, love your channel. Love from Markham, ON 🇨🇦

I also drove a friend's 71 Chevy pickup with 350 four barrel and manual 3 speed column shifter! Awesome! He let me drive it a few times so I could get acquainted with something different from my dad's Volkswagen Beetle and Camper which were ideal to learn on but altogether a different experience.

Great, great video ! Great story ! Great truck ! We can go to a Wiki and get truck facts/dimensions all day long on trucks, but this video made that old Chevy come alive. Well done !

Great job Mr Howard. Beautiful truck too.

My god, if I can ever find a 72 Cheyenne I will do everything in my power to bring it home. That was my childhood truck. My dad had it until I was in high school. He sold it without asking me and I never let go of the memories and I want another one.

That is such a great story. You've set a high bar. You shouldn't be using it like that, though. The truck is a gem. That interior is something. Wow. Thanks for sharing

I learned how to drive on my fathers 1970 GMC c-10 with a 292 six and a 3 speed with a creeper gear I remember the gas tank behind the drivers seat and hearing the gas sloshing around Thanks nice VID !!!!!!!

My friend's dad had almost the exact same one, in mint shape with a mint slide-in camper from the 70s and it lived permanently in the carport for decades and only got used a few times a year for camping trips, only had 20k -something miles. On the other hand my dad owned a 70 that was assembled from random chevy and gmc parts from 68-72, with a killer exhaust system, one-tone sky blue paint job and check-plate steel bumper that probably weighed 400lbs alone. I loved that truck.

I got a ‘71 Chevy C10 from my grandpa when he died. It was also green and white. But mine was green with just the top of the cab white. Couldn’t afford to restore it after having it for quite awhile and kind of letting it go since it was only 2wd and terrible fuel mileage. Sold it cheap to a guy I knew would fix it and drive it. Still see it driving around once in awhile.

My dad had a couple of significant trucks. One was the generation that the current Chevy took aero cues from. I'm still amazed it could tow the large Sangster Craft boat with a 3 on tree and big six. The other was a 77 GMC Sierra Grande. This had a nice interior and ride with an automatic and mom could drive it.

My dad had a lot of trucks when I was growing up but one that I personally remember the most is a 1980 Chevrolet Silverado stepside , just remember thinking how cool it looked , and my dad would put on a show every now and then with it , do a donut , lay rubber down , still like those trucks to this day when I see one , another I remember alittle , but mostly threw his story’s is he had a two tone f150 supercab with a 351 Windsor in it with a 4 speed standard , 4x4 posi rear end , limited slip front end and man did it go threw snow , was my dads favourite truck he talked about it a lot , said he never had a better 4x4 then that truck was , and had a ton of power ,

Just Perfect! You are so lucky and bless to have a Dad with that huge heart! Love the story, love the truck and hope one day I can have a classic Truck. Cheers

Great video guys. I have heard the story but enjoyed hearing it again.

Bought my '72 2500 around '05 out of Kitchener (it came from the East Coast) and used it for work till end of '09 then used it to haul my ass out to Northern BC in '10. Now i just need to get some fresh paint on it and get back to using it some more. It'll leave my hands when i die along with a '70 Firebird and a couple last yrs of the full size Jimmy's

I got my dad 1982/454/35 GMC Sierra Classic one cap single wheel It is been my dad since 1982 from the dealer , and i got it after my dad passed away 12 years ago. I will pass it to my son, this truck 🛻 will stay with my family forever.

Great story! Awesome that you still use it as it was intended.

greaat show man, Respect from Toronto.. Love the "classic story segment" with story - all us got em. Im a 410 Hemi 300C guy - but my truck would be 1996 2-door Tahoe sport - thats my teens memmories haha

Great story! I love old trucks but mostly for the stories they represent. Hope you do more just like this.

I have never heard the story of the 10.My Dad had a 1968 GMC Short Box.Worked great.

Great story, and a beautiful truck. Thanks, Steven's Dad !

AWESOME!!!! Thanks again Steve!!!.,..And thanks to Dad!!!😀

What a special truck! Thanks for sharing this cool story. 😊

I have a 1995 chevy cheyenne k2500 5.7 liter 4wd. cheyennes in general really do have such a cool story. i wish i knew what my truck went through. its so special to me its my first vehicle. I was looking for something to drive and i looked at a car And realized cars just aren't for me. one night after church me and my family driving home, my mom sees this truck in someones yard thats for sale and i tell my family thats my truck! And we stop and look at it. And my dad calls the number, he tells him the engine and transmission had been replaced and that it used to be a propane work truck. it sat at the propane place for years everything was stolen on the inside. The guy I bought it from replaced all the insides. Fixed the truck up and then sold it to me. It only belonged to a propane company and the guy i bought it from. I love that truck so much. I love finding out new things about it everyday! ☺️

What an amazing video and the story by your father wow. Great content!

Im on the look out for a 1972 C10. Thought it would be cool to own something from the year I was born.

great story... really enjoyed that video...thx !!

What an awesome story!

Great story. Beautiful Truck. Cheers!

What an awesome video and story. I hope you can make a series out of this

I can relate to your story. I learned to drive a manual transmission in my Dad's 68 C10 short box step side truck. Now I'm building a tribute 68 C10 step side of my own. I'd love to do a remote video with you as I'm located in Idaho

Awesome story!

Awesome truck, awesome story!

This brings back such memories. My dad had a truck just like that, he loved Chevy Cheyenne trucks. His was brown/white and this was back in the day when they had no head rests, no seat belts and the gears on the steering column. It was awesome

...we don't use these trucks to go to the store and buy a bag of milk!! LOL

The Flint plant. My 22 Silverado was built there too.

I have 1971 Chevy C10 pickup never been restored I have owned it for 6 years it is in great shape

My grandfather had an old Ford Superduty highboy for the farm. He bought when it was new at the time & it was the nicest truck in the town. That truck was unstoppable when it when on rough terrain. But sadly it went to the junkyard a longtime ago because it got over worked for many years.

Pretty cool story. It is amazing how embedded these trucks can become in your life. I put one in storage 17 years ago knowing someday after my kids were grown I would finally have the funds to build my truck and that day is finally here with the youngest done with his Bachelor's. It is a 1973 K20. Started with I will get it running, quickly turned into a frame off. Lol

Great story. Thanks.

Just got a 1971 Cheyenne been trying to buy it for 18 years it was built in oshawa and sold new in Alberta not as good as yours but all original unfortunately it spent the last 18 years in Ontario never driven in winter but was outside long story short it needed rockers and cab corners rest underneath was mint they are a nice old truck

Awesome video thx for the story

Beauty. Dream truck.

A very nice story !

Great story

I love all of those older trucks from the big 3, now days I am more Ford biased but i would tale chevy or dodge 1/2 tons from those eras. Theyre handsome looking, barebones honest trucks.

Beautiful truck

I think at 30+ years old, a truck has earned the right to retirement. Using it to haul garbage seems ... sacrilegious at this point, even for guys who use trucks to do truck things :)

Out for a bag of milk classic Canadian love it

I’d love to get an older truck like this but everyone wants ridiculous amount of money. I’ll keep looking though!

My uncle had a nice goldish yellow one. The bed was all lined in aluminum diamond plate. It had a nice cam in it. One night someone stole it and robbed a bank and then crashed it. How they stole it was they just Took out the ignition switch and replaced it with another one

I KNEW IT !!!! I knew Howard from somewhere but couldn’t figure out where ... now I know 👍👍.

my grandfather had a truck like that

❤

I doubt you’ll see this. But if you do. I think if I can get my hands on my grandfathers 1971 GMC Sierra fully loaded optioned old truck. You’ll be interested in doing a video on my truck. I just recently made a big offer to the current owners of the truck. Keeping my fingers crossed

Please let me know if and when you decide to sell it. I to have a story about that 1971 truck.

Gimme Jelly Donut

Just don't make em like they used to, wish I had an all metal truck

Canadians must cry easily.
