goodol72 · 01-06-2010, 03:03 AM

Just wanted to show the pickup i just got from my grandpa, he has had it since 1976 and it been in his garage ever since. She just turned over 117k, everything is original exept wheels and tires and exhaust

Welcome to the BB.That's a nice truck.Looks very well kept and has a family history.You just don't get much better than that.Has some nice options too.Care to share specs and a pic of the SPID(glove box door sticker).

goodol72 · 01-06-2010, 04:12 AM

LOW DOUGH · 01-06-2010, 11:38 AM

that is nice

69Special · 01-06-2010, 11:43 AM

Holy smokes. That's real nice. Grandpa took nice care of the paint.

**BAD4X4** · 01-06-2010, 11:45 AM

Your grandfather if I'm correct lives in terrabon? He almost sold me that truck a few years ago. He also has a model A right? WOW this is weird!!! The truck is VERY NICE!!!

**70cst** · 01-06-2010, 12:53 PM

You have a special Grampa because most trucks that come from Grandpa are six poppers with three on the tree and thats it. That is a very nice lookin truck.

wHATANERD · 01-06-2010, 01:03 PM

Very Nice truck, My first truck was a LWB 70 CST that my Grandfather had a cage made out of pipe around the bed that he used to haul cows in. So you can imagine how bad of shape it was in. Congrates, and welcome to the board

goodol72 · 01-06-2010, 02:09 PM

BAD4x4 my grandpa does live in terrebonne! what a small world! He said he has had alot of people over the years try to buy it, its weird i have always wanted it but thought someone would offer him alot of money for it but the other day we were talking about how they needed a bigger pickup and asked me if i would be willing to give him 2k for the pickup so they can buy a bigger one! He knows its worth more but you know how grandparents are...

and that 31 model a your talking about is now mine too, its very nice to have a grandpa who takes care of EVERYTHING he owns

**1971 GMC SHORTY** · 01-06-2010, 02:22 PM

SWEEET!!!!!!!! Very Nice

OregonC20 · 01-06-2010, 04:10 PM

Congratulations!

**Already Gone** · 01-06-2010, 04:59 PM

Your Grandpa has given you a gift, respect and enjoy it. I dont know how old you are but if have children or plan to someday this is the kind of truck that could be handed down ( when the time is right) from generation to generation.

toms68cst · 01-06-2010, 05:18 PM

That's my kind of truck! Luv it.

Daves72'GMC · 01-06-2010, 08:15 PM

Thats cool.I have my Grandpa's also.Looks great.Thanks for the pics.Dave

**special-K** · 01-06-2010, 09:37 PM

Welcome to the site rom another GMC owner.That sure is a nice one.

71swb4x4 · 01-06-2010, 09:43 PM

That's a super nice truck. NEVER sell it.
PS - it's perfect just like it sits. Just jump in and drive.

ed2552 · 01-06-2010, 10:51 PM

That's beautiful. Same color as my grandpa's when it was new.

**DREW67** · 01-06-2010, 11:34 PM

Can someone say clean!!! Nice

72Levi · 01-07-2010, 12:01 AM

Post up a pic of the Model A, I like old cars & trucks.

Duncan and son · 01-07-2010, 12:09 AM

Your grandpa kept it mostly original for 34 yrs, the big question is.. Will your grand kids be able to say the same thing in yr 2044 LOL
I like it, lots of people have nice restored trucks, not very many have nice original trucks.. Paul

goodol72 · 01-07-2010, 12:15 AM

PS. Carefully! Trucks like that are very hard to find these days.

**WIDESIDE72** · 01-07-2010, 11:12 AM
