The car looks like it is on the other side of the world.This was mine.
Love that truck. Had a 68 panel with a 454. Was an ass kicker. Wish I had better pictures.My 1970 Chevy C10. Upgraded to electronic ignition, serpentine belt system, and R134. Yes, the A/C works. Single Holley 600.View attachment 399591

When I turned 16, custom vans were popular but I couldn’t afford one, so my very first “car” was a ‘67 Chevy Carryall (Suburban) with the 283 and 2 speed powerglide. Put huge chrome rims and TigerPaw tires on it, along with astroturf in the back. The girls seemed to like it!Love that truck. Had a 68 panel with a 454. Was an ass kicker. Wish I had better pictures.
Ha ha I bet they did. My 68 was sitting for years before I bought it. Had a 6 cylinder with three speed Saginaw three on the tree. Dropped a 350 in with a mild cam and rigged up a hurst floor shift to the Saginaw. Blew the two piece driveshaft and carrier bearing out within hours. Changed that thing around a few times.When I turned 16, custom vans were popular but I couldn’t afford one, so my very first “car” was a ‘67 Chevy Carryall (Suburban) with the 283 and 2 speed powerglide.

I've left a few in that position.Not sure why it’s upside down. It’s the way the days was been I guess
Pretty common for me to snap a u joint if I got good traction in 2nd gear on a hot road. I kept few u joints in the trunk and did many roadside swaps.Ha ha I bet they did.

Had a 70 C10 4WD that I drove for a little while with intent to make it decent but it just needed way to much body work.
Yep, have done the walk of shame to go back and pick up the driveshaft.Pretty common for me to snap a u joint if I got good traction in 2nd gear on a hot road. I kept few u joints in the trunk and did many roadside swaps.
Those were the days.
just like our '45 Willy's, so you can operate throttle and ignition switch with same footStarter switch might foot operated , right above the gas pedal.----My 1940 Plymouth was like that.----Dimmer was also foot operated on many cars.
And now we have gone back to push button starting ...I had a ‘50 Plymouth.. one of the revolutionary marketing terms was one of the first vehicles to have key start ( no floor start or push button)
Had one an old Polaris tucked behind a hemiAnd push button transmissions!
Mopar used then till the mid 60s.
Let's hope we don't have a resurrection of vacuum drive windshield wipers. I've never figured that one out. We had electric motors in those days.And now we have gone back to push button starting ...
Had a couple of mid 50's Buicks that you would turn the key and depress the gas pedal. A Studebaker that you had to depress the clutch so you wouldn't start it in gear. Several old trucks with out solenoids, just a pedal that was foot operated, a lot of military equipment kept them that way long after civilian stuff was changed. I seem to remember a vehicle with automatic tranny that you would pull the column lever towards to activate the starter but don't remember what it was.Starter switch might foot operated , right above the gas pedal.----My 1940 Plymouth was like that.----Dimmer was also foot operated on many cars.
