Thanks for bringing this one back. I enjoyed going back through it some seeing the trucks and member names

Might as well add how the K2500 looks today, 10 years later

I've had this GMC for about 10 years, was a driver when I bought it. Cleaned up engine compartment, new interior and just painted it. Still looking for upper trim on bed.

Here’s 2 of mine, green ‘71 with 10k original miles, and the blue ‘72 with 98k miles. Both rust free and original paint.

What is on the driver side cowl on the 71?

I'd guess an antenna or mirror mount. I've seen several trucks with holes in the similar spot.

Joe, you're going to have to change your name. No junk I see there. :lol: Very nice trucks!

It’s a bracket for an overhead camper strut. It had a camper put on it when it was about 6 months old.

Both are super fine, as to be expected from you. I especially like the '71 for grabbing the historic essence of a fine from the start 4wd camper hauler, 9.00-16 bias-ply extra tractions, split rims, camper brackets, auxiliary tank doors, and all. That's how it was and just as great today!

I wondered if it could have been for that too. I've got a few of those brackets with no need any longer. :lol:

I could never believe those mounts were only installed with sheet metal screws. A whole lot of them, but never liked the idea. I like seeing them on the truck, though. It's keeping it original (as it was outfitted back then), including the paint. It's nice finding a truck someone never personalized for their uses, but that was fairly rare. Camper haulers are a great segment for survivors, that's for sure.

They are looking great Jeff! I’ll have to send dad some pics of them. He was asking if I had talked to you lately the other day. I’m thinking about heading home in May, I’ll let you know if I do.

Here's a truck I picked up a while back. 1972 Sierra Grande Longhorn converted to a K in the 90s. It was very hard for me to pass it up after a friend sent me the FB FS post.
