Re: The Hawaiian Blue 1978 GMC.

my gosh i love your truck. My very first truck, or vehicle for that matter, was a Hawaii Blue 79 2wd long bed GMC. I was the second owner, we keep that pickup in the family after i left and moved to Minnesota to finish school, but that truck stayed in the family for total of 18 years. It's long gone now....but some day hope to find another

Re: The Hawaiian Blue 1978 GMC.

Great build and thanks for posting it. I’m on the fence for buying a Vintage Air setup and I think this is going to make me pull the trigger. Looks so clean!

A couple of smalls, I was laid off due to covid-19 so I will probably post an update here soon. I was diagnosed with cancer early 2019 and hit pause on the truck. I then later bought my first house and now I'm engaged. The truck runs and drives great but is temporarily not priority, and is not done... yet. I'm unable to allocate the funds to finish it right now.

Re: The Hawaiian Blue 1978 GMC.

I wondered where you’ve been. So sorry about the C news, hopefully they can take care of it. But the good news!! Engaged and bought a house, wow! That’s awesome news.
Keep you chin up, everything will get better and turn out ok. Looking forward to the updates.

Yeah, just chugging along as best I can. The house is as much as a project as my truck ever was. I've stripped it down and attacked it about the same way. Making great progress, though!

I sold the subaru and picked up a Jeep XJ as well. It was from Cincinnati and super rusty and I've done a lot of work to get it back on the road as my new daily driver. It's been the best cheap vehicle ever. Picked up a trailer to haul all my accumulated debris from home demo for $100 too. I think the squarebody guys will like it!
