A brief history of an old truck: (Wish I knew more.)
Became good friends with a guy that I met at Carlisle a couple years ago. He's an AD enthusiast. About a year and a half ago My wife and I decided to ask him to find us a truck. Prefer a GMC, and a 5 window, but a Chevy 3 window would be fine too. Must be a manual trans truck, and really solid! We went back and forth over about a dozen trucks over a 4 month period. One day he called and said "I think I found your truck, 49 GMC, light pale green. In southern California" Sounds good, go get it. (From the east coast) Couple days later he called and said "I definitely found your truck!! 47 GMC 5 window, been sitting in a garage in So Cal for 30 years. Hasn't moved. Owner died decades ago and the family is ready to get rid of it."
He picked up both trucks and a 59 GMC. Mine was the first one. Notice the drag mark behind the tire getting it out of the garage. (That's my favorite picture of this truck, he texted it to me shortly after taking it)
I do have a contact number for a relative. Left a voice mail but haven't heard back. I'll try again. It's a great piece of history, I'd like to know more about it.
