Thanks for sharing. Really cool! I see Old Blue had a tool box door bed put on.

Re: old blue
 

The long bed came that way I'm told.

This is awesome!! I got lucky to be able to buy back my wife's Grandpas 68 short bed stepper I wish I could get my Grandpas 67 long box back but it has been cut up parted out and what was remanding crushed.

Re: old blue

Fleetside 6.5 ft.

Awesome story that I missed the first time around. Thanks for sharing.

Re: old blue
 

what a great story, and all of the pictures to go with it!..this really brings a smile to me..it reminds me of many memories I had with my grandfather in the earliest memories of my life, riding with him in his 69 c10, and in my dads 69 gmc, I would love to have either of them back today.and have always owned a 67-72 gm truck, since I was 16, this post made me realize I have owned my 72 for 24 years, and how much my sons love it...thanks for sharing, love the family side of our hobby!:chevy:

Re: old blue
 

Love seeing the look on mom's face when I pull up to their house.

Re: old blue
 

I love these stories of "Boomerang" trucks. People reacquiring their old trucks or their fathers/grandfathers old trucks.

There are quite a few of these stories floating around on this site right now.

Re: old blue
 

Me too, love this truck's tale of ownership. Off Road racing history included. It has a unique history being altered into a C/20 out of a short bed

Re: old blue

Still as smitten as I was then.

Re: old blue
 

You are a lucky guy in so many ways ! The pickup is cool but those family photos are priceless ! Better give mom a big hug for safekeeping them all theses years…:uhmk:

And still with california black plates.

Re: old blue
 

Had a Deja vu moment with our old blue last weekend.
At the shop watching my son fabricate a few tubes on a jeep cage, late nights with old jeeps and trucks took me back to being this kid sitting in the racecar.

Flash back deja vu whatever you call it.

Re: old blue
 

Looks like your son is a good welder/fab guy. Nice job dad.
I always enjoy your updates.

Re: old blue
 

Thanks, It's neat to watch his progress.
I see dad in his work and design.
