Re: 40th birthday
Wow, and I thought I was bad because I showered my truck on our anniversary (the day I brought it home)...
Glad to hear I'm not the only sick one out there! Now that we mention it, I need to plan ahead, anniversary is on March 19.

Re: 40th birthday
this sticker is the only place I know of... in the drivers side door jamb, on the door.
The longhorn, as you see, was built 6/70, and my burb, i think is 11/71. My old longhorn was 4/70. Last edited by Longhorn Man; 02-24-2008 at 01:23 AM. |

Re: 40th birthday
My daily driver is 37 and my new project is 41.
I keep saying these are the last two 1967-72's for me, but when I find a good deal I can't pass it up. Danny |

Re: 40th birthday
I celebrate my anniversary on a very special day... Valentine's day! She's been with me 5 years, which is longer than any lady friend. I think I'll keep the old gal around, she does help me chase the younger ones, and no matter what the GMC was here first.
Is this a ND thread or what, I'm chillin' in Fargo at the moment.
