Been 2 years!

Yup...as of yesterday, I have had the GMC for two years. Kinda cool, kinda not.
When i first got it, I had hoped to have it at least stripped down to a bare frame by now.
As of last year, I had expected to be rid of it by now.
It is nice too look back on the first pics and see how far it has come though.
Check out the dope smokin old man's custom interier (he actually tried to use this as a selling point!)

And like we haven't all seen THIS one 1000 times!

This shot always made the rear look so much higher than it really is...

after a while, an old truck gets to be like your favorite pair of boots.......comfortable. i had a 71 that i drove daily for 9yrs. Parts of it still 'live on", it became an organ donor for the longhorn

I am kinda anal about that kind of stuff myself, i keep all my records, receipts, service loges, and all that good crap in a book all in seperate documant protectors and crap.
True, it is rather anal, but I know exactly what I did, when I did it, where I got the part from, and what I paid....be it new or used parts.
I know....I'm kinda sick.
