In Search Of My Fathers 1972 GMC Pickup, CA!

[Dylpickle]

Good evening all,

I am new to this forum, I am here to hopefully get some help I am currently in search of my fathers 1972 GMC Pickup C1500 orange in color last known license plate number was California (98184L). My father originally purchased it from the factory in 1973 in Bakersfield, California and owned it up until the winter of 2001 - 2002? I at the time was around 8 years old and have fond memories of the truck, I am now 24 years old and would like to try and bring it back into my life, that truck bit me with the hot rods/classics bug and I never was able to shake it.

The gentlemen that we sold it to lived in the Southern, CA area as far as I know. I actually got in contact with him in 2012 and kind of got a little bit of a story of what he did with it, unfortunately he sold the truck sometime in 2003 - 2004 at the Pomona swap meet. He wasn't able to produce any paper work or photos of the paper work but that's as much as I know. I am working with my father to recover the vin # which would help me greatly, but I wanted to get on here and see if anyone would have an idea where the trucks where bouts are today or if anyone could help me and point me in the right direction of how I can find it?

Year: 1972
Make: GMC
Model: C1500
License Plate: 98184L
Color: Omaha Orange
Last Known Area: Pomona, CA (2003 - 2004)
Last Known Owner: Jim L.

I appreciate everyone's help, feel free to message me on here lets get this shared around! Praying that its either all together running or put away in a safe dry place ready to be found.

Thank you,
Dylan
