Hello All,
I was hoping to get everyone's input here concerning a truck I was given over the Weekend.
It is a 69 GMC 8foot 6 inch bed, only has 36K original miles, NO Dents at all, however, the seat is tore, and the wooden bed is rotted. I thought it needed paint, but after rubbing out the fender and then waxing it, the original paint is still good. I got it from a friend at work, that inherited it from his grandfather, that originally purchased it in Long Beach Ca and was garaged kept for the first 25 Years of its existance.
Also, the mirrors are really big and Ugly, could these be changed fairly easily?
Is the truck worth keeping and trying to fix up, or not?
Thanks all,
Rick
