I think it's a 1973 Chevy on the front, and some kind of ancient GMC stepside bed. I love these old Chevy trucks— pretty much every generation from the mid-'80s on back. They seem much more handsomely designed than things these days.
I would like to be able to Photoshop (or, more likely, MS Paint) so as to avoid the inevitable political discussion the message on the rear windscreen will bring. I just thought it was a good angle.
It was sitting outside of this antiques shop that's been closed for a while, and it even bears the emblem of the shop on its doors— Eagull Antiques, if you can make that out.

Definitely 73 because the hood is taco'd and there are no drip rails on the cab. At least from the cab forward its a 73. I dont know about the bed.

"some kind of ancient GMC stepside bed"
That bed is from the same vintage.

There's mine! I think the 73-87 body style is the unloved C10 generation. Not as collectible right now as the 67-72s, but I think they look good and their stock is rising.

That's a beaut! How's maintaining it? And do you have a 350 in there? I'd love a mid-'80s K10/20. Unfortunately, stuck with a 2000 Subaru Outback (but it's a manual!).

Its been more of a project than a daily driver, so its less maintenance and more just getting it running/upgrading it. Its got a 454 and a Turbo 400 trans. Fun truck with torque for days, but would make for a terrible DD.

A 454...damn. Where is that, by the way— looks gorgeous!

San Luis Obispo, CA. Where I currently go to school (Cal Poly SLO). Pretty phenomenal place.

Love the old stepsides. Funny window sticker too.
