'65 Chevrolet C10 shortbed - (with chrome) -sweet ride!
My son’s first vehicle was a ‘69 Ford pickup...He painted it with a tobacco sprayer...
A guy told hime he had a unique finish on his truck...
He replied, “It’s a custom job...”
LOL
In order to understand the attraction to trucks, it is useful to have done at least one day of manual labor in your life.
Thus, the mystery to the NYT staff.
Good read - thanks for the post. Always humorous to read of what the metros think of us out here in Flyover Country.
Awesome!
That generation just looks “right” to me. Plus, I can actually do most of the work on it myself.

Of course in Houston they laugh at bike riding hipsters.
You don’t understand. To a NYC faggot everything west of the Hudson is Texas. ;^)
I needed covered cargo space so I took the seats out of my Chrysler minivan (they really detach, no stow-&-go). Gets filled to the headliner all the time.
Anyway, more NYT snobbery. And hatred now that Trump is elected.
Prewar chevy? I’m gonna guess ‘37.

Just drive a hour south into NJ Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
I am working on a 62 Willys Truck I acquired a few months ago. I didn’t need it but I wanted it.
I am really, really having an urge to buy an old pickup truck. There is a pretty nice ‘69 Chevy C-10 fleetside for $3K locally, which my research shows is not an unreasonable price...good tires, new carb, elec ign, maybe a few hundred high but I could probably resell it for $3K if I change my mind. I like that style. Used to have a ‘53 3/4 ton junk truck which I bought for a day’s labor.
I have virtually ZERO use for a truck!!
“on the cab.”
IMO SUV’s, and pick-em-up-trucks are so extremely popular here in California, and all over the country as far as I can tell, because they provide the feeling of safety one can’t get driving modern cars. Modern cars are small to meet CAFE standards imposed by liberal government, and it’s difficult for most people to get in, and out of them much less feel safe in traffic consisting of large SUV’s, and pick-em-up-trucks. Try shopping for a family without either.
I notice as the cars get smaller to meet CAFE regulations the cost of SUV’s, and pick-em-up-trucks keep going up.
I just got a small Toyota Tacoma as a company vehicle. I can also use it for personal use. Even thought it’s not full size, it is my first pickup truck and I get a whole lot of use out of it.
I made a rack that I can slide all the work stuff out in one piece then I’m good to go. Kayaks, camping gear, lumber and plywood etc.
He must not own a home.
You ain’t a true, blue Texan if you don’t have a pickup baby..........lol
I’ll take my Chevy Silverado over a subway or taxi cab any day of the year.
