introducing...
Hi everyone...My name is Mike and I reside in South Jordan Utah.
I joined this board because my grandfather recently passed away and I was the proud recipient of his 1969 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4. He bought it brand new in 1969 with a camper and paid a little over 6k for both. The camper is still around although it's not fairing as well as the truck. The truck has been through 6 kids driving it, been stolen, wrecked (twice), blown engine, blown rear-end, hit a deer, and through all that it's still drivable! When I was growing up, my dad was the one who was driving it around. We would go everywhere in that truck with me standing on the seat  It has a lot of sentimental value to me. It definatly has seen better days, but I hope to restore it back to the way it looked the day Grandpa rolled it off the lot.If you got to this part of the story...thanks  Mike |

Re: introducing...
Thank you all! This site has been an awesome find, and when I start getting more into this rebuild, it will most likely be my home page
 I will definately post some pics as soon as I can. What is the best way to do that? Is there a Member Gallery that we can post our pictures to, or do we just do it in a normal posting?

Re: introducing...
Pictures are on the way...I have to have a concrete pad poured on the side of my house before I can go pick it up. Hopefully the pad will be done by the next weekend and I'll go pick it up and take pictures galore
