mjensen 06-28-2006, 10:35 AM Hi everyone...My name is Mike and I reside in South Jordan Utah.
I joined this board because my grandfather recently passed away and I was the proud recipient of his 1969 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4. He bought it brand new in 1969 with a camper and paid a little over 6k for both. The camper is still around although it's not fairing as well as the truck. The truck has been through 6 kids driving it, been stolen, wrecked (twice), blown engine, blown rear-end, hit a deer, and through all that it's still drivable! When I was growing up, my dad was the one who was driving it around. We would go everywhere in that truck with me standing on the seat :crazy: It has a lot of sentimental value to me. It definatly has seen better days, but I hope to restore it back to the way it looked the day Grandpa rolled it off the lot.
If you got to this part of the story...thanks :)
Mike

mjensen 06-28-2006, 07:04 PM Thank you all! This site has been an awesome find, and when I start getting more into this rebuild, it will most likely be my home page ;) I will definately post some pics as soon as I can. What is the best way to do that? Is there a Member Gallery that we can post our pictures to, or do we just do it in a normal posting?
Yes.:D We have a page just for pics and you can post pics in the threads. Check the FAQ Submissions page in the Index thread and there are links to several different ways to post pics here.
