95% Done and maiden voyage in GMC

[seacrow]

OK, here it is 95% done. I have to finish the interior, put the tailgate on and do some major cleaning and detail work but for the most part it is done. I drove it for the first time in 5 years about a mile around the block.

I just want to take a moment to remember my grandfather, Jere E. Oliver, this was his truck and I spent many good times with him working, fishing, and learning in this truck. To have this truck back is almost like having him back. I hope to become half the man he was. He always wanted to fix this up for me but he never got the chance. However, if I had not listened to his advice, I would never be in a situation to do it either. I guess he really did do it for me. Thanks papa.

I also want to thank Ed @ Mothertruckers for tolerating my impatience and 1000's of questions.

Thanks to board members, teeitup, too much stuff, Charlie Coleman, Huck, Mario in Penascola, Josh in Alabama, Rigo and anyone else that helped or sold me parts.
