Original owner photos of my truck in 1970

[davepl]

My 1970 GMC Sierra Grande 402 came with the Protect-O-Plate, so I did a little searching on the original owner. I was able to determine that sadly both he and his wife passed away in the last 5 years or so.

Since the owner's name was fairly uncommon and he had lived in a specific town in CA, I did some searching and managed to get in contact with the granddaughter of the original owner. She remembers my truck and apparently spent a lot of time camping with Grandpa in it.

Better yet, she was so nice as to send me a number of photos that her Grandpa took right after he took delivery of the truck in 1970! To see its current state, you can check my build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...91#post5169191

Here are the 1970 photos of my project! The last photo is the truck they traded in on this one, which I note is the same color scheme. Always nice to have some history on your project, and now I have some...

You can see a CB radio that's no longer with the truck, and the phone (according to the granddaughter) is to talk back and forth with the camper.
