Just wnat to say hello; My wife bought me 1972 swb Gmc with a 400 small block while i was working out of town. I couldn't beleave my eyes. Then things got even better, I thought this was my first truck. Even if it was the wrong color. I check the vin# & did some checking. This is my first truck, this time i will not sell it. I think i need to take her to a Casino.

Wow, what are the chances of that??
A very similar thing happened to my Dad a few years ago with his fathers gun -- sold, repented, found it again a year later. Brian |
