That counts. The IHs didn't change when the GMs did.

My wife has a 41 GMC 3/4 ton flatbed, that she just kinda fell into. Her grandpa found it in a field and traded some well pump work for it, and restored it before he passed away from cancer. He only got to take it to a couple of shows before he died, but atleast he won a trophy for best original truck at one of them. My wife's grandma knew that my wife loved the truck so she gave it to her. It's still parked at her grandma's house (about 2 miles away from where we live), and we take it to as many shows as we can. I had never worked on a truck as old as this one before, and it has really been a learning experience doing the maintainance and repairs on this old truck, not to mention learning how to shift the unsynced tranny without grinding (my wife is still working on that one!). Before we fell into this one, I always thought these trucks were cool but never had a desire to have one but it really is cool to drive to the gas station or where ever in something so old, it gets alot of attention.

Here's a picture of it when my wife was driving it to the Gold Rush Carshow last May, just in case anyone on here hasn't seen it before.

I don't have a build thread, I am building a 64 LWB and helping my son on a thread on the 67-72 Blazer forum called " left for dead "
