Ahhh my dad had a chevy that looked exactly like this. Long bed, faded green with the white cab and a camper. He used it as his work truck from the early 70's til about '07. Drove it out from Illinois when he moved to CA. Truck had rust everywhere (fist sized hole right above the rear passenger wheel wheel). Wish I hadn't pushed him to get rid of it but at the time he had a new work truck and the C10 was just being used to store stuff. Man, the memories I have of that truck are priceless!

Hurry up and strip it so I can shut up about all this hahaha

It's definitely interesting to see what all goes on behind the scenes to make a show and the number of people and equipment involved in setting up just a couple of shots.

BTW, do I have to buy a car to get one of those sweet looking RS shirts? I'll have to look for that trailer at the next show I guess.
Yes. You have to buy a car. (2 cars gets you a hoodie)

OR...We have a Facebook store you can order through HERE or you can just give give us a call. (we are out of XL's though...should have more soon)

Chris, I think every build needs a full camera crew. Just saying. I love watching this stuff.
