How many of you...

had a pickup truck with a CB radio and an 8 track player?? If you did you lived in the golden years like me and you're now in your mid 60"s.

yup i did

What prize do we win? LOL Wish I was 28 again with what I know now.

I did

10 4 good buddy

I'm almost 58 and yes I remember well

Yeppers

I'm only 47, but I did too

Yep.

Yep

Yup. My handle was Gray Fox. used to listen to 8-tracks of John Denver, Boston, Abba, you get the idea.

Yup its wasn't a truck though.

CB and AM/FM only

then I got a cassette player

Had all 3 Ford CB and a 8 track

Ford F150 with the CB but a cassette player. My step-brother gave me all kinds of grief for wasting my money to buy the cassette player because 8 track was the way to go.

Same!
We might be younger than most of these ol farts on here.

8 track in an old firebird. Played Willie Nelson's :On the road again when leaving california driving to my next duty station on the east coast many moons ago. Good times for sure. Sarge

Lol I'm in my early 60's but I was cutting edge I had a cassette player and a 40 channel CB. I drove a Chevrolet Blazer 4x4 and my handle was "The Bushwacker!" Waylon, Willie, Gary Stewart etc.

Had to have cb’s to chase deer dogs all over the county three months a year.

My soul for a time machine! I'm 56 and the CB craze here was in full swing. There was still the odd 8 track players in a few pick ups.

CB in the pickup mainly used when we used to have multiple trucks going on hunting trips. Not quite that age yet.

69 chevelle 375 hp with CB and 8 track.
Then a brand new 78 HD chevy 1/2 ton with CB 8 track and am/fm.

Nomad was my handle. Always had a matchbook handy for the stubborn tapes. Made the trip up and back on the AlCan more memorable, when it was still 1200 miles of dirt road.

have you listened to a cb the last few years..I did on an interstate trip on I-80...not very much english spoken..I had to turn it off

I remember that hack.

I also remember as a small child , a couple neighbors still had reel to reel players in their houses from older days. Also had an FM converter in my '66 Stang that only came with an AM radio. Grew up with B/W TV's that had tubes that you had to wait a bit when you turned them on as they needed to heat up a bit for them to work. Not quite 60yo yet but had to deal with older technology as my family was not wealthy. Spent many a Saturday afternoon with my dad at radio shack as he tested tubes with their tube tester that he had scavenged out of cast-off electrical products. I also remember the 'cutting edge' 3/4" video tape player they had at my grade school.

8 track with FM tuner was in my 56 Ford Crown Vic way before the CB craze. The CB I had later was in my pick um up truck.

Had the CB but just AM & FM.

Yep, it was like a light switch in the early 2000’s. One day loading fat cattle same old drivers and the next week nobody understood English. Craziest thing I’ve ever seen and talked about frequently around here.

Yup....but you were even cooler with an ECHO mic.....And Sly &The Family Stone in the 8 track

My handle was rubber boot. 73s and 88s all.

10-4. 64 fairlane all solid steel, steel dashboard 4 Door and a back seat to start a Family

Oh man! CB for running bear and 'cats, along with the whip antennae that was about 15 feet long. Also for keeping track of traffic during road trips. 8 track blaring with Denver, CCR, Neil Diamond and others. Some of the reason my ears are worthless today.

10-4, and my handle was Silver Bullet... I drove a 1976 silver Camaro, wore a star on my chest and yes sir I lived the entire golden age from 1941 til the present... and now I am about have way still alive.

Garry-

i had a 66 gmc pick up a cb and cassett player my handle was shotgun kid and my brother had the same type truck his handle was rifleman . Good times back then.

Had a Wilson 8 track and an FM converter. Can't remember the make of my C.B. My handle was Dirthole

My handle was Mudvalve....

Wow, I actually sat in the engine compartment and changed the fuel pump in my 67 ford pickup 6 cylinder, beer an older "friend" would stash in a creek for you, Getting to first base, or at least sayin so if you didn't have the nerve
Can't believe what i'd of missed if the internet would have been out back then

had both 8 track and cassette in a '69 Ford Bornco and '66 Int'l Scout and '74 Int'l Scout II and '68 Dodge Power Wagon
