The Blue GMC i posted a picture of last spring started today. I primed the carb through the bowl vent, checked the oil and coolant. Pulled the choke out a little -- stepped on the starter pedal, and it started. It blew rat nest out of the exhaust, but man am I happy. All new wiring and real circuit protection, new brakes and master cylinder, and time. Jim

No better feeling when you start one of those old fellas up and runs like a top. Good old 6 cyl. sound, love it. Gary.

Sounds like quite a truck!

I don't remember the story, is this a show or work truck?

Congrats.

When I was growing up, dad had a 1949 with deluxe cab.

This is the truck, A bit frosty on this day. Arizona rust free structure and body has no rust through. I am going to be painting it but do not intend to ""show"" it. I have owned it since 83. Jim

That's a nice pickup. I really like that body style.
