Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"

I got a lead yesterday on a NOS '72 outer and inner grill and went after work to check it out. No box or stickers to prove that it is NOS, but I needed one anyway and the price was better than repop, so I picked it up. After talking with the gentlemen for an hour or better I left with a good feeling that it was probably NOS regardless of stickers or paperwork proving so. So I'm happy with that.







He was a super nice guy and had some nice toys. He buys, restores and sells John Deere tractors as a hobby. He even had a couple of trucks that he was trying to sell as well. I was interested in the 3/4 ton GMC 4x4 with truck buckets, just for the seats of course, but he wanted to sell the whole truck instead of parting it out. The truck was all but rusted away and he wanted a mint for it. He also had his grandfather's '71 stepside that had the fewest options I've ever seen on one of these trucks before, so I snapped a picture of the spid just for conversations sake.
