Pics of your trucks when you found them

[blue 72 gmc 4x4]

So lets see some pics of your trucks when you found them, how long they were sitting for etc. I'll start off...its not a 67-72 but this is how I found my 55 GMC, sat in a field for 30 years....

This was sitting in a one car garage for the last 20+ yrs when I found it.

It had been sitting for over 5 years in a body shop parking lot, 283 actually cranked after a little oiling. I was afraid that the body shop owner was going to want a little cash for storage, he didn't want cash just a 12 pack of Moosehead beer, so I bought him a case.

Took this pic when I was 5 years old, im almost 35 now. I played in it when i was a kid then dad gave it to me when i was 11. Started workin on it then and drove it when I was in HS and tore it down in 95 and got it as you see it in avatar in 2000. The pic in my avatar is same truck bout a year ago taken in almost same location behind the old barn.

Mine on the day I first saw it. It had sat for 6 years after the PO had a heart attack. The blue truck in my avatar is the same truck.

This is when I first borrowed it from grandpa about 10 years ago.


I inherited it last year and have done a little work.

This is what my burb looked like when my Dad gave it to me.
He let it basically rot in an avocado orchard for years.

i think it was because of as money !

This is how I found mine grazing. Had been there 3+ years.

This is where I found mine, last time registered was in 93. Currently disassembled down to the frame.

Heres my 72 GMC when I bought it, I thought the body was in good shape until I sanded all the paint off and found five gallons of Bondo.


Here is is a few moths later when I finished painting it.

Its so nice to see all these before and after pics! Just think where all these trucks would be if we hadnt found them! It would be a shame to see them rotting away. Its amazing how well they all have turned out! They all get another 40+ years of life, by the looks of some of the restorations, their second life looks better than the first! Keep finding and fixing them!

That was the original bed, safely stored in Lake Havasu for over 20 yrs
