"Go find a rice rocket and mess it up! Sell the GMC to somebody who respects old iron and won't screw around with it!"

Respect??? Telling someone something like that certainly doesn't gain much respect on your part. It's his truck and he can do what ever he wants to with it. Light'n up! I'd rather see a 59 GMC become a hotrod than go to the crusher. Attitude's like that can ruin the hobby.
