Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA - Page 5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SCHRUMGMC · 01-08-2013, 08:40 PM

Thank you CC69Rat,
And Yes I am very Mature, it may not seem like it with me beating a dead horse.I know its annoying for me to keep adding to it every so often though
Simple solution just unsubscribe the Post and BAM you wont get bothered by it any longer, that simple.To my comment about Disrespectful Adults on here, Im talking about the Rude comments at times.We are all on here for the love of old GMC/Chevy trucks.I am on the search for my own and at the same time, looking for my Grandfathers.If you were in my position Im sure you would be crazed about finding it as well.I maybe only 18 turning 19 here soon, but I am well mature enough for my age.Im not a spoiled brat, who disrespects Adults.Im sure if you all who tell me that its Beating a dead horse or etc, if you sold your Truck and then went OHH Lord, I shouldnt have sold it.Im sure youd be looking for it as well

SO to my conclusion to this,I apologize to people who feel annoyed by this thread, Im just a Guy looking for a old truck that meant a lot to him.Battling Depression, and other things.I turn to here for a feel of Comfort, knowing there is people like me out there that loves old Trucks

Thank you and God bless

SCHRUMGMC · 01-12-2013, 01:20 AM

When I find my Pawpaws 71 or get the 59 GMC

I WILL NEVER,EVER,EVER X10000 get a Wood BED Lol

jeffg1010 · 01-12-2013, 10:24 AM

Well, you've got the vin. That is the biggest obstacle in finding a classic car. I didn't read through the whole thread but, it appears that you're confident it wasn't parted so it is likely in a garage being restored. It had a really cool patina, so if the right guy bought it, he may not touch the paint.

But, if you keep searching it'll turn up eventually. And hopefully he isn't converting it to a Chevy.

I haven't seen it down this way, but I'll keep an eye out

You need to sell off everything you own to get that '59 Apache, otherwise you will be posting this same thread in a few years in the 55-59 forum.

SCHRUMGMC · 01-12-2013, 01:59 PM

Thanks man, I just hope its not a FULL Restore, and yea the 59 I would like to get
Haha I will take donations !!!

But with the 59 the people told me they would sell it to me, and possibly only me because they know I was the Original owners family

SCHRUMGMC · 01-12-2013, 02:01 PM

The kid who bought it from us
Took off the mirrors
The Original Hood, scrapped it..Instead of putting new hinges on it
Put corvette wheels one it
Took off the molding
Took out the carpet

And had it running

THEN SOLD IT

I mean come on he basically Raped the thing

I just hope I can find it, Heck the Guy is older then me and I havent ever worked on a Truck, and Id know to out new hinges on it...Leave the Mirrors on it, they were the original ones.He had told me they were put on there...As for the Camper top it was hauled off as well

50bomb · 01-12-2013, 04:33 PM
