Title: Trucks are getting more collectable? Guess so.

This was posted in my truck forum, thought it was interesting.

"Another truck from the Big three, the 1973-1987 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup, was next on the list with a 94 rating that tied it with the high performance 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS. The 1976-1986 Jeep CJ-7, a former chart-topper, filled out the top five with a 93 rating."


A younger generation of car collectors are fueling this, I guess.

Old, 70s and 80s era trucks have a certain cool factor.  I could see them appealing more than most of the cars that were available in that era.  Particularly old Broncos, K Blazers, and Jeeps.

I'd take the Bronco.

Square bodies, K1500s, and the like are super cool and pretty popular for projects around here.
