Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA

Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA

Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA
I think my Dad is messing with me though, because I worry a lot about it
I know it is strange for a 19 yr old man to become attached to Inanimate objects But I will try to get one thats short bed, with a/c for cheap...I will have his named written somewhere on the truck

Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA
Your dad obviously knows how hard you are looking for the truck. Why would be lie to you and tell you someone called saying it was crushed? UNless it was in an accident or something and got scrapped. Ask him if hes serious or not... Anything is possible with these old trucks.

Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA
13.50 is a good job for an 18 yr old with no college degree. My best job ever was making semi parts for 14.75, if i still had it id be making 19.75, worst mistake ever

Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA
If your dad thinks you're obsessing on this he may have told you that to make you give up and move on. I know it sounds mean but he has good intentions, us dads are not perfect but we try.

Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA
He says he is serious, but I doubt it ...All the truck needed really was a Motor
Someone would have to be out of their mind,besides I asked the guy we sold it to, he said he just sold it nothing else But the story goes, He says someone called the House....Which I never put my Home Number online...So that was were I caight hi, I guess he knows how bad I stress over this Truck, and wants me to dim it down He is right and right now I am focusing on Job and College

Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA
I am a Christian, So there for I believe the main reason I havent found it is because God wants me to focus on more important things such as Education and finding another Job
But If I ever come across a cheap GMC Sierra I will pick it up and work on it..Resulting in a Project for on here

Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA
I found my Grandfathers orange and black 72 Cheyenne back. I was messing around on Craiglist one night and saw an add for 72 c-10. I clicked on and it was the one. It had changed hands about four times since he sold in the late 80's. I even had to cross state lines to get it. Once I saw it, I was able to verify that it was his.
I know how you feel. Keep the faith. God works in mysterious ways. |

Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA
Again... it's his and he can do with it as he sees fit.
Stressing over a hunk of metal is pointless. Wait till you actually have the cash to even buy a truck. And have more than what you are just willing to pay. Trust me... when you've saved up the money to buy the rig, then have some extra cash to do some stuff to it... it will pay off in spades. God or not... you need to move on... Gary

Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA
Be cool if you get the 59 gmc and the wood bed floor is way cooler than steel. Just my opinion.
