Well, I finished up the GMC a week or so ago and the guy that was interested in it bought it tonight..... His boy will get it eventually but he is only fourteen now. I kinda think ole dad used that as an excuse to get it in his garage...

.. It came out really nice and I kind of hated to see it go. I'm not much of a 4x4 guy (especially lifted) and I bought it to finish and sell.

I like 'em loooow.

Leon.... well I'm glad to hear that it went to a good home. Be sure to pass on the website so we can see how it's doing.

So what's next on the list?

I am finishing up the shop right now (got the blow in insulation in today and the heater plumbed). I will finish wiring the heater tomorrow and install the thermostat. Sounds like I will get it done just in time as it is supposed to turn colder....

I will probably finish the '70 Chev SWB this winter.

Geeee...this is emotional seeing your GMC going By By... I agree with Low. I say low and you go and high one just sighs. By the way...you did a real nice job finishing the GMC!

tcb-1 · 11-04-2008, 11:37 PM

Mr. Wheeler Dealer, Leon! the GMC looks good, the new owner couldn't have asked for a nicer rig!

jeffspower · 11-04-2008, 11:40 PM

Dang I was hoping you would stay in the 4x4 club. You know, I would have led the fundraiser to buy you some steps if you would have kept it!

67ChevyRedneck · 11-04-2008, 11:42 PM

At least it went to a good home.

68C15 · 11-05-2008, 07:31 AM

good for you man. you know what? I think you need to continue the yard clean-up before it comes time to chip ice again. I will help you out. bring me the retractable and I will store it for you. you need the room and I am in a generous mood.

was the kid there last night? I can just about imagine the look on his face.

**special-K** · 11-05-2008, 07:43 AM

Congratulations!!You breezed right through on that plan.Always nice.

eightbanger · 11-05-2008, 08:28 AM

Holy vertico LockDoc....nice result mate.

thirdstreettito · 11-05-2008, 09:05 AM

I loved that truck. If ya dont mind me asking, how much did you get for it?

**WIDESIDE72** · 11-05-2008, 11:20 AM

I have mixed emotions about a truck that nice, especially a 4x4 going to a 14 y.o. kid... The majority are not known for taking too good of care of stuff. I don't have any kids yet, but if/ when I do, there first car will not be anything classic/ nice. I am trying to convince the brother in law/ nephew to buy a nice 68k mile, $5k 96 Caprice with an LT1 for the nephew's first car. (Only drw back there is alot of POWER, but is big and has air bags).

thirdstreettito · 11-05-2008, 04:23 PM

Yeah, I'm 15 and I'm looking for an 88-98 C1500 shortbed fleetside, couple in my area than need some easy work done. I hate listening to my friends stories of when they are driving, they sound like idiots, "I was so nervous because I couldnt see past the bushes on the corner." That one gets me every time.

Thanks for the kudos guys. Always another truck around the corner...

Hey Jeff, I would have needed steps, or shoes with springs on the bottom.

thirdstreettito: Don't mind at all... I paid $4000 for it as an unfinished project, put another grand and 120 hours in it to finish it and sold it for $8000. I'm happy and I had a lot of fun doing it.

The boy came over with dad and you couldn't have got the smile off his face with a belt sander.

Oh, and I'm ignoring 68c15...
