Know the history of your truck ?

[Sweeet67]

My 67 gmc short fleet side has been in the family since new. My great grandfather wanted a new truck and grandma wanted him to save the $2700 and change so they could pay cash. He did that over the next while (couple years). He finally had the money for the truck. He ordered the deluxe heater and 3.92 rearend. I still have his original signature on the sales order. He drove it to work on the railroad for 6 months then had a heart attack and passed away. My great grandma then drove it to get the mail,groceries, and to church etc. I came along in the early 90's as a teenager and told her I would love to have it. She just giggled at my attempt as a kids random comment. Well, much to my suprise on my 16th birthday she called to tell me I could pick up my truck anytime I wanted to. I was there within hours, drove it home, and began the restoration the next day. I was able to complete it before she passed away. I entered it into a 4th of July parade in her home town, and she and I drove it on the parade route. That was over 20 years ago. Last year my 18 yr old son and I built a real nice 383 with a fitech and a Boyd fuel tank. It's driven quite regular but never in the winter. It will end up in my sons hands one day!
