Looking for my Grandfathers 1971 GMC SIERRA

[Square_78]

Unfortunately people crush good cars every day. Some get rescued and some dont. Hopefully you find it one day. Until then you should snap up that awesome 59 before its gone too.

Yeah man, I think im going to put money in the bank up to $2,000, and have cash in hand and approach the Door about it


Heck if I get a job at Duke Power I will be able to get it in 1 month LOL

Question: If I do get my Great-Grandfathers 59 GMC, Is it possible to put a Steel Bed in ?...It came with a wood bed

I bought my 68 a year ago and it still isnt registered......title is in my name though..........someone may be building it up to drive like most of us do.

[SCHRUMGMC]

Yeah, All it needed was a new motor in it...Some cosmetics...I just hope they havent restored it...BECAUSE IT WILL BE A BANK LOAD TO BUY IT BACK....Had to say that to the folks that dont understand that I hope they dont restore it yet HA!


What does everyone think on more photos of that 59 GMC

What do yall think of it ?

The Story behind it: As far as I know My Great-Grandfather Howard Augustus Schrum, bought it new near Dallas,North Carolina..He drove my Uncles and my Grandfather..As time went by, My Great Grandfather gave it to my Grandfather Gerald Schrum.He used it for years and years...He also had a 1971 GMC Sierra(As you see in my Profile Photo,I am currently looking for it).Well the Story goes, the engine blew or something.The back of the Bed was so rusted, it was an unbelieveable sight.Well years go by, it sat up in our pasture well.Someone called complaining about all of his cars sitting up there,Ranging from 1968,1972, Volkswagen Beetles, many StationWagons(Fords/Chevy).,1985 Honda CRX,1988 Honda Prelude, 1987 Pontiac Fiero, and a couple of MG´s...Well he had to find someone to pick them up and haul them to the Junkyard (Est.2005)..Well they were taken to the Junkyard and me and him went through the Cars and Trucks looking for some old stuff and Personal Items..Years went by, I completely forgot about all of that...Gerald passed in Dec 26th 2010, It devastated me...and So on, well by chance my Cousin, She had dated a Young man up in Vale,NC..He turns out to own the 1959 Truck..I desperately wanted to get in touch with him about it..So now I know exactly where its at

The Original Color: Greenish Color(As Far as I know)

Before you ask, The headlights are being re-done by the Current Owners and they are putting new glass in as those old ones were milky looking..They still have the Original Tires that were on it

I hope ya´ll like it, Tell me what you think


Pros and Cons as well

[Square_78]

Sure you can put a steel bed floor in it. Just get a replacement floor. Im sure LMC makes them for that truck.

[SCHRUMGMC]

Alright, If they havent done it already I would probably end up putting one in

[HotRod C/10]

buy the truck then stress over the little things. It's wasted energy if you dont have it sitting in your driveway.

[SCHRUMGMC]

Haha, I have seen that its a LWB...Heck if I got $2,000 right now.I would hop in my 1995 Nissan XE and drive up to the people with my old 59 Truck and buy it

[SCHRUMGMC]

The Wood bed I think at one time was so nice at one time...

I hope you can sell it bro..I looked at it about a Week ago, I said "Wow, that is one nice Chevy"

[darush01]

I like that 59 a lot, and not to instigate problems I personally wouldn't say or do anything but if I were you I'd want to know that those people who were talking negatively about you earlier are now basically calling you an idiot in another thread, I personally don't appreciate it due to the fact that we come on this site to talk about trucks and ask questions not get criticized and made fun of
