Re: Got the message!!! Grandfathers 1971 GMC
Congratulations on getting it back finally.
Last month was 6yrs I've had old blue back. Feels as good now to see it as it did then.

Re: Got the message!!! Grandfathers 1971 GMC
You must feel great reuniting with a long lost part of the family ! I’m sure your grandfather is proud that you cared so much. I would put a picture of him on the dashboard if he’s gone.

Re: Got the message!!! Grandfathers 1971 GMC
I’ll be buying it here soon. Just excited I got offered the truck, and yes. I do think it would be a great story to write up on.
Just wonder if magazines would take it or my local newspapers?

Re: Got the message!!! Grandfathers 1971 GMC
I think it's great you found it , BUT... I'd be getting a deposit to them and a signed contract on when your picking it up before something bad happens and it gets sold before you can pick it up .
 It's happened to more than a few of us . it sounds like now is the time to borrow from family or friends and get it done .
