1975 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe

This was the first 73-87 truck I owned.  I purchased this truck in 1992, I was fresh out of high school and wanted to own a V8 powered truck...or anything V8 powered for that matter.  Being young, eager, and uninformed automotive wise, I purchased the first vehicle I looked at..this truck.  What I didn't know was the truck leaked and burned more oil than imaginable, it also required the steering wheel be turned half way before the truck did, and the brakes were non existent.  This was however, my first manual trans vehicle...which made burn-outs possible (side stepping the clutch)...I was hooked!  I did not own this truck too long, and ended up selling it after only a few months due to the repairs and money needed to make it reliable and dependable.  Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures to share, but this is the truck that started it all for me when it comes to the 73-87 GM truck line.
