Nice Clean GMC

I spotted this last weekend when visiting my parents in Milwaukie...Oregon that is. There are so many nice trucks in this part of the country that you sometimes just get tired of stopping and talking to the guys. I looked at a bed this guy had for sale last year. He was still working on the truck then. It is for sale now but I just stopped and took some pics...did not ask how much or any details. I like the stance and look.

Second pic from the side. It almost looks like a Longhorn (sorry Andy) when dropped this much. We saw an identical paint scheme two weeks ago at the Puyallup Swap meet and it was not as low and did not appear to be quite this long.

That does look long, and the color is sweet. Not a combo you see all the time.
You wanna see a long looking truck, take a 69 Longhorn, slam the thing to the ground,a nd remove a few inches from the top...then THAT will look long.

You are right about that! It is so interesting to see the difference a couple of inches make. Raise that GMC about an inch or two and you do not notice the length at all. Dropping at truck into the weeks makes the top look really tall too...sort of like a tall building. This truck was really sweet...I will talk to him the next time I am down in Portland.

Yeah, the white/color/white/color paint scheme on a long bed does seem to stretch it.

Of all my favorite things to do, The utmost is to have a brew.
My love grows for my foamy friend, with each thirst-quenching elbow bend.
Beer so frosty, smooth, and cold it's paradise pure liquid gold.
Yes beer means many things to me that's all for now cus I gotta pee.
