Hi, Im Samantha and I am the proud parent of a 1971 GMC pickup truck. When I was 14 I fell in love it! when I got my pickup it wasn't is good shape at all but the engine was built, and sound. So with my dad helping and teaching me new things that I didn't know I rebuild my first truck. It is a 1971- longbed stepside GMC. It has a chevy 350 in it, that about 2 months ago I put in because I shattered the cam, and put a rod through the bottom of the oil pan. The best thing about my truck is that I can say that I build! It has a custom paint job on it that I also did, and a custom grill that my Father made for me, I stayed with the original design of the truck and put new oak in the bed. Being only 16 when I finished my truck it was built for a daily driver but now I got me a new truck that is better on gas miliage, so my baby is going to get a fresh coat of paint and shined up a bit more so she'll be ready for Hot August Nights next year!!! I respect all trucks, old, new, restored, driven, and I enjoy seeing what others have done with there rigs.

Way to go Sam!! Now it's time to build another one. It's good to spend time with Dad. This will keep both of you out of trouble.
