Re: Always considered myself a Chevy guy...but
GMC's are sweet. From what I've seen so far, my favorite truck from this website is a 70 GMC stepside.

Re: Always considered myself a Chevy guy...but
You must have already been more than just a Chevy guy if that's your Pontiac in your avatar. Congratulations on buying it's perfect companion and for buying GM's "first" truck. How about "True Blue"?

Too Much, you don't happen to have a set of blue seat belts in your parts bins do you?

Re: Always considered myself a Chevy guy...but
I have some, but need to double check since I sometimes think I still have what I no longer do. And that's not just truck parts!

Thanks Tim let me know if you do. I would like a nicer set if possible but beggars can't be choosers. The mind is a terrible thing to taste (or something like that)
