Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA
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

Re: Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA
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.
