My Dad bought a 1971 GMC 3/4 new and owned it until he gave it to me in 1994. I had it for several years then one Saturday morning in 1996 I woke up to the sound of the Blazer owned by my neighbor up the hill, rolling down the hill and landing on top of the cab of my truck. I took it to the local body shop which is where it was when we had a flood and the truck was washed downriver. At that point, the truck was pretty much a total loss, or so I thought. Fast forward to 2015 when I see what I think is the truck driving through the little town near where I live The hood is a different color and from a Chevy but I think it is the truck. I see it a few more times before I finally see it parked at the local grocery store. I park and wait and until a woman comes out and I go and talk to her. I tell her the story and let her know if she ever wants to sell it to let me know. Well, a few months ago I see it pop up for sale on a local Facebook group by the same woman and her husband and I buy it. The transmission went out when I was driving it about a month later but I really don't care that much. I got the truck back. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Welcome to Stovebolt.

Great story! It should be fun for you to be "back in the saddle" with a reacquainted family member.
