I came from a family of Chevy owners and never seen a reason to change. Traded a Motorcycle I had for this 76 about 20 years ago and have only done minor repairs. My lady friend calls it the Farm Truck and I do have to admit it is a little rough, but we all get our lumps and bumps at this this age. I’m starting to think she may be more impressed with a new Lexus (imagine that). Looking forward to the forum.
