Sometime tomorrow, the 51 GMC big bolt I bought a while back will arrive at my little chunk of paradise on a dead end road in Lincoln County Tennessee. I had hoped to make the trip to Guntersville Alabama to get it, but life got in the way in the form of family medical issues. It will arrive on the back of a tow truck- - - -running backwards to avoid doing any rear axle or transmission damage. It's entirely possible that it will be further away from home than it's been in the past 70-something years, as it was supposedly bought for use on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, and has stayed in north central Alabama for all the time since then. Does 12 feet qualify as a "long bed"?

I'm thinking about tricking it out with Patriot Guard Rider gear and flag poles, to participate in PGR veterans' funeral escorts, without doing any permanent modifications to alter its "antique vehicle" status.
