I love this thing. I remember these type trucks running around. I had a light blue '67 shorty with L&M Produce on the doors when I was young. The dealership where I bought my parts, when you could get them, had a '65 C20 Stepside with a tow rig in it that was all lettered up sitting faded away in the corner of the back lot. I tried to buy that for years. I think it ended up going to an insider

You know what just hit me? My '72 GMC is a Central Valley truck.

You don't just do trucks. Something about anything you have says to me just how much you truly enjoy these trucks and I think that's why you are sitting where you sit today.
Yup, a lot of people (mostly younger ones) don't remember that most GMC's were sold at Pontiac dealership, or Buick and Oldsmobile too.... and Central Valley GMC in Fresno Ca. was around for a long time....
ooooh yes, I feel like a little kid every time I strike a deal on a truck, then again when I get them home and start the transformation from a moth to a C/10 butterfly!!!!

On this particular one I had a pin-striper from Modesto Ca., she (that's right she) been a striper for a long time and knows her stuff!
