Great-grandpa's old shop finds!
After my grand-dad passed away there was a auction for all his old junk, my uncle bid and won a space in a shop. This is now being cleaned so it can be burned, making the house look bad. Good news is the house was built in '49 for $9,000, and is now worth close to $100,000. The wife and I fixed it up with heat and air and all electric, plus it's bright colored and not dark and depressing. My grandpa and grandma where married there and sense we bought a newer, bigger house they moved in and my grandpa passed last year in that same room they were married in, in comfort and not a cold dark house. It's crazy how things work out. Anyways, I guess my grand-dad had a new '69 GMC 1/2 ton back in the day because I found insurance papers for 10/68, and I manual in good shape for I guess the '69 eventhough I never saw a year, just a pic of a 67-72 in that manual. I also found a gas ticket for 300 gal gas for $80, 27.9 cents a gal., in '69. Also other sweet finds were a large Pennzoil sign in great shape, old bottles/cans(Pepsi-Cola among others), Folders cans, and a little book that he wrote a little in(gave it to my grandma,, his daughter that lives in his house now). I like finding old things that were made and touched way before I was here. That book is a sweet addition to my '67 that my grandpa bought me as a second truck.
