I currently own a 1972 Chevy C10 longbed and my recently purchased 1950 GMC 3/4 ton pickup. The GMC is an ex Old Navy Store display truck. I've already found a wealth of information on this board to help me put the GMC back on the road. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 1,403 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 1,403 | Hello!!! I heard that the Old Navy trucks were just shells, or close. So, were you lucky? I hope you were. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 677 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 677 |

The pedals, gear shifter, choke cables etc. were removed, but the body is solid. Since I'm planning on dropping in a V8, it will make a good platform. | | | | | | Houston54 Unregistered | | Houston54 Unregistered | Howdy from a former resident of Hampton Roads. What part of NN are you in? We lived down in Hampton but had friends up in Denbigh and Williamsburg. Loved that area. Cruising down the Colonial Parkway in your truck will be something to look forward to.

I'm about 3 miles from Fort Eustis. You are right about the Colonial Parkway. It's a great road to cruise on. I take my 72 out to Jamestown via the Colonial Parkway whenever I get a chance. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 | WELCOME, WELCOME!...get us some pics of that Ol Navy truck ...keep the faith bro! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 | Welcome, some pics would be great! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | I visited your part of the world last October. My wifes pal from Scotland married a U.S Navy guy!They now live in Newport News. We stayed in NN for ten days and did the Colonial Parkway on route to Jamestown it was stunning!Only problem is,he's a Dodge man! I tried hard to convert him though!  Plus it was during the 400th Celebrations. Loads to see and do! I had an ulterior motive...(To shop for goodies for my Bolt!)  Spent a bit of time in and around Fort Eustis too!
