My 1st truck!!
 
This is my 1969 GMC 1/2 ton 4spd short step. I will be the 1st to admit that i am VERY lucky and blessed that my dad helped me buy this. I will be 16 on sept 1st, and i cant wait to drive this beast around more...

That speedo picture shows that this truck only has 78k original miles, and i totally believe it. I am(errr...my dad) is supposedly only the 3rd owner, and besides the paint, it is in overall real good condition

Feel free to comment on it, and give me your suggestions.

nice truck, I think the silver color is slowly growing on me...
What are the plans short/long term?

My next upgrade will be a sound system. After that, most likely a full exhaust w/headers. Then a set of new bumpers, and probably a paint job after that. Once i get the stance right, and some good rims, i can only really think of a teardown of the engine and a tranny rebuild. Keep in mind, i will be fixing little problems along the way. But, being a highschool student, this will take some time

I know you are 16 now so just hope you drive carefully. I am not crazy about that stick shift you have there and glad to here you are changing that rear bumper unless you are planning on pulling a tank. But a really nice truck. If you are getting A's in school that should help your Dad on the insurance. Enjoy your nice truck. You have a right to be proud, that is one sweet truck you have there.
