Boy, that's a tough one. I guess when I find each one I feel that way. I like them all, that's why I rarely sell anything. Its the thrill of finding them and getting a chance to bring them back to life and enjoy them. I've owned the white 65 4x4 the longest, almost 23 years. My favorites are this Gold truck, the Red 66 GMC and my blue 60 short bed , the white 65 AND AND but not in any order. The red GMC I waited 4 years to get from the original owner. He listed it once on EBay while he was still alive but at that time he was at twice what the truck was worth. It was his baby and he was very proud of the truck. 4 years later he passed and his wife and son put it up for sale a little to cheap . It was exciting to drive out to Baxter Springs KS to pick it up and see where it was stored all its life. Sold new in Miami Oklahoma. Each one has a story .
