"Rio" ~ 1968 gmc swb

[LUV2XCLR8]

Well, for those who know me well I have been pretty
depressed these last several years. Truck shows with
out the Blazer has made me irritable, even rubbed a
few friends the wrong way along the journey. (Sorry)

I sold my Kodiak, and spent some of the money on
the 72, but been overwhelmed by the state she was
in when I went and collected it from the painter. We
parted ways mutually, and no she is not completed.
(Hoping this spring I can get motivated on it again)

I bought this truck based on the pictures, only have
done this once ever before, and this time I might of
gotten something a little less than I paid. However,
she is exactly what I was looking for, so after a few
repairs (Radiator blew on way home after delivery)
I will get her out on the road. I have plans for her
to be on the 2025 GM TAILGATE TOUR this March.

She is from SC, been up and down E coast I have
been told, it's been at Daytona Turkey Run, and it
found it's way out to NM. So Her names "RIO" like
the 80's Duran Duran song since the last owner is
from Rio Rancho. Now she has a home in West TN.

What are my plans, well I will make a few subtle
changes to make her my own, but ZERO exterior
work is planned. Interior already fresh and clean.
(Yes I know, will have to change my siggy again)

It was to be painted Black, and I'm pretty sure she
will be black (primer) for a awhile. I have to get it
running again, and have some new parts to install.

I have over 100 pics of this one already, but pics
account has share disabled for the moment. Will
try to get a few more posted in next few weeks.
