Last pictures of the season. 69 GMC
I took the GMC down to my in-laws for the winter because I only have a 1 car garage and the wife is partial to being able to park in it when it snows. I thought I would take some pics before it went into the machine shed. They live 45 minutes away from me and its the farthest I have driven the truck at one time and with 3.73's, sustained speeds or 55-70 mph and my exhaust dumping before the rear end it was a pretty loud ride. I had a smile the whole way down though. I drove the back roads and got to look at all of the fall colors at their peak.

Re: Last pictures of the season. 69 GMC
It says River Bend Speed Shop. I have alot more lettering to do to it but didn't have the time. I want it to look like a full on parts runner/delivery truck of the era. Complete with era correct speed companies and logos on the box sides and other general business lettering.

Re: Last pictures of the season. 69 GMC
I didn't want to put it away yet but with all of the yard work I have to do this time of year it is a hassle to keep moving it around.

I wouldn't know. Its not my garage. It is close to my house so I went and took a picture there. It is very cool though.

Re: Last pictures of the season. 69 GMC
Probably not. I have a bunch of parts to throw at it but will end up waiting untill early spring to do it. It is 45 minutes from my house now so I won't make any special trips down to mess with it, and if my father in law needs something out of his machine shed It won't be tore apart and a hassle.
