You know theres an old saying amoung vintage guitar collectors, "Beware the cherry".
See, guitars get dropped, they get scratched, and their finish gets worn. A vintage guitar that looks like it's been thru heck and back usually means somebody loved playing it, and played it often.. it's a sign of a truly magical instrument.
The guitars that got kept under the bed in a case are usually the ones that didn't play or sound so good.
I feel the same way about trucks. Looking at that beat up ole truck that still runs and drives tells me that it's a truck that somebody (or numerous somebodys) could depend on.. a truck that was their first pick to get the job done.
A real truck. Hop in it and fire it up, it's ready to go.. maybe not to the fashion show or the local cruse in, but to work.. like all real trucks were built to do in the first place.
So yea it's ugly as home made sin, but it's got character.. the kind of character you can't get in a fiberglass kit or see in the pages of your favorite hot rod mag.. it's the kind of character one can only get from years of dependable service and hard work.
I salute you, ugly [censored], poop brown GMC truck!
I only pray that the buyer has the respect to let that truck live out the rest of it's life in dignity, and not chop the top, lower the frame, put spinner 18" rims on it and hang dingleballs from the winsheld.
