Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Here's a couple of pics of a 61 GMC I had back in the mid 80's. I was in the Air Force stationed in Jacksonville, Arkansas and picked the truck up locally. Drove it daily, even made a trip to Rantoul, Illinois in Jan '87. While in Illinois I had the fun of replacing the front wheel bearings (ball type) in the front driveway of a high school friend, in the snow nonetheless.
If memory serves me, I think all together, parts and grease cost right at $100.00 back then. I remember reading on this board that the parts are about that amount per side now.
Like a fool, that I was back then, I sold the truck when I found a '72 Monte Carlo that I just couldn't live without. Then I sold that car when I was being sent overseas...

Also, here's a pic of my dad back in the late 60's with his work truck...

Thanks "LostMy65" for the heads up on this thread...
