The truck is mostly junk. I hate the dark green, but everyone seems to want a fortune for them anymore.

After I worked out the deal with the feller that has owned this since 1973 I had to drag it back to the shop. I manage a very capable fabrication and machine shop and they seem to have endless patience for the junk I'm always bringing in.

I finally got a chance on a nice November day to grab the truck with a good buddy of mine. We made it from the field to the highway before the front driver's tire went flat. Fixed that and we were on our way. I was giggling the whole time watching my friend in the rearview sawing the wheel back and forth trying to keep her between the lines.

Finally got it back to the shop and realized that the steering box was only held on by three very loose bolts.

The previous owner had recently had the local GMC dealer put a new vortec 350 in it. I bought a new fuel pump, rigged up a gas can, and it fired right up!
