Chevy's in the wild

Todays travels found a few GM products.
Notice that the 72 Elcamino is actually a GMC Sprint - hadn’t seen an original one of those in a while. The old guy driving it was as proud as could be.
The old square wrecker looked like it has already been put out to pasture.
The ACE HARDWARE truck is a fantastic billboard display for the store !
On the 64 Impala sorry the pic ain’t that good was goin 80 on I-10 at the time.
The 56 looked like it was being brought back to life as a cruiser.
The Tahoe owner seemed to have forgotten to install the front axle shafts in the S/D running gear .

I saw a nice C10 while out to dinner tonight but i never think about taking pics. 
I had the presence of mind to grab my phone for this one. Reminded me of my Dad's '72, but this one has a lift gate. 
This was across the street. Used to be there frequently a few years ago but today was the first time I've seen in a while.
Guy with the black c10 at work bought a newer one off another coworker.
The K/20 hasn’t moved in a few decades - just sad to see it decay like this…
The green C/10 is fine !

@tarussell that 80!
It’s got the 80 optional square lights & bezels but has a big-hub D44 in it ( w/ Warns ) so I don’t know if it had an axle swap or maybe just parts-n-pieces from the mighty GM inventory offerings over the years.
It’s been sitting there across New Warrington Road and Speed Unlimited, next to Yomatos restaurant, for a real long time and is just literally fading away.
Looks like the ole Fact-O-Bake $195.00 paint special has not stood up to the Florida sun that well - who would have seen that coming !

Every time I see this GMT400 GMC CREW CAB DRW K-3500 all I hear is Bob Segar sing’n “Like a Rock” in those late 80’s early 90’s commercials with those Crew Cabs raising hell in a muddy field - best commercials ever made and the perfect song to go with em !
This is the end of the line for these government 1-Tons - they all were support trucks for the Navy at Sherman Air Field ( home of the Blue Angels ) on NAS Pensacola.
The V-3500 and the OBS F-350 next to it are the last of the older breed of rigs on the base. I suppose they will be auctioned off soon enough … hope they go to someone who will revive them.

I'd appreciate it if you'd get the keys to that square body dually, I'll be over with a trailer and reimburse you.
Don’t think that I’m not try’n to do just that !
We might have to flat tow the F-350 behind the trailer - I love da GM stuff but that damn Ford was speak’n to me today…
BTW, the V-3500 has the four small headlights set up that ya like too !
Not a bad looking truck. Belongs to a contractor from Wyoming here at my work for plant overhaul.
Saw it pulling into a driveway earlier today. DD duties.
Talked to this guy head’’n to Cruis’n the Coast today while fill’n up - he drove it from Georgia
Good to see cars being driven and not just put on a trailer!
