All in the family 73 GMC (Big Red) pics

This truck has been a labor of love for my dad , and for me as well








The truck started life as a typical 73 Sierra , green and white with tan interior it stayed that way for until 98 when we stripped the body and interior
and painted fire engine red .
it has had so many different combos of motors and trans from wild small blocks to staock big blocks and since 02 it has a 97 vortec and 460le .

Nice truck. But I have to ask, (No offense) why did you leave the turn signals with chrome trim if all the other trim is painted? I like those early GMC grills too, kind of rare.
