New guy from St Paul AB
Hey I have a 1972 GMC 2500 with a 350 V8 that I'm fixing up. It was origionally my dads truck him and my mom came to alberta with it and a couple hundred bucks and started our farm so this has a lot of sentimental value. My dad bought a 75 2500 full time 4X4 later on and by the time I was born we had about 10 trucks and this one wasnt needed and he parked it and it has been sitting ever since. It is in very good shape considering it has 200,000 miles on it but that is all due to it never being driven on pavement, just on dirt and gravel roads even to this day. Last summer I pulled it out of its rut and took it to my dad's friends shop and we have been fixing it up since. Here are some pics of where it was parked. I now have some nice tires and chrome rims and it runs perfectly (other than a leaking transmission gasket which i'm getting fixed) and I'm getting a sound system and a paint job soon. The worst rust is on the tailgate but thats easy to replace or fix.
