Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

To many of those who have seen the old thread, I'm just throwing this back out there since there is a lot of new members since the last time I brought it up

I'm still looking for my Grandfathers '71 Gmc Sierra
I have the VIN number memorized from typing it so many times
VIN number:CE134B117643
Located in North Carolina
Possibly in Denton NC

Good luck on your search, I myself am looking for my dads '71 ss nova. I was brought from the hospital in that car when I was born.

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

schrum what was wrong with the one you had?
it looked like the same truck?

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

It wasn't my pawpaws. I sold that one to get my pawpaws '59

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

How do you know it is still in North Carolina?

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

Because the guy he sold it to lives in NC

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

Did you get the 59 running, and not to be an ass but are you going to be able to afford to maintain both of them let alone afford to buy this truck back?

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

Sorta yes, working on putting the transmission cover on it

You're not being an ass. I'd buy it back if its still around which it should be because nothing was wrong with it

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

good luck on the search keep shaking the bushes you never know

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

What blows my mind is the guy we sold it to, sold it to someone for $1800.. For that price I wouldn't think someone would part it out or so. .It was in nice condition inside and out

For some reason I cannot find the thread on the board, but it looks like it originated from this board. Do you recognize this post? Or was it made by you?

I assume this isn't it,

...but its in NC, same color, different mirrors and some kind of rally wheel. White bumper might have been cheaper than replating the old one.

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

I didn't post it there, but it I guess someone or something did
Sweet truck but its a lwb, but I doubt it because it would be in someones name. Its still not in someones name. The engine wasn't blown and it ran fine. The cab and bed were in pristine condition

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

Photo of it when it was fairly new

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

ill find it someday

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

Just remember... once you let something go... the sentimental value you have in it ends. The new owner really doesn't give a crud who owned it, or how much you think it's worth, or what their intentions are with it. You have no more say.

Schrum, Denton is a town of 1600 people give or take. Looking at this logically the odds are NOT in your favor that it's a technology savvy town with people searching the internet and especially not specialist websites. Your best bet is to visit the town, pass out some flyers and maybe hit a lead that way. I don't know the local population but from a Sociologists perspective find out what the major job market is pertaining to trucks, ie: logging or construction, and frequent the supply stores for that market.

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

I know about that Gas, my sentimental value as you can tell is ...out of this world
All I have right now is photos of it when it was brand new and sitting out on our farm
How is your rebuilding on your GMC?

Guessing you Wiki that town? Lol
Im going to drive out there and pass flyers around soon

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

It has to be out there somewhere

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

Whoever owns it must be sitting on the title

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

I harte to rain on your parade but it probably got parted out and stripped by now.

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

...or restored with an LS conversion and asking price of $35k, or frame hacked up, body dropped, firewall smoothed to the point of no return. I would never discourage anyone from such a noble quest. Just sayin'...

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

Well I doubt it ..sure hope not.. if they were smart they wouldn't

It was sold for 1,800 so it wasn't parted out

I offered $200 to the guy that had it if he found out information on it

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

If they were "smart" they would be doing whatever it takes to get the truck back on the road. Whether it's stock, dropped, chopped, parted out or any other kind of modifications that the current owner decides to do to it. Anything is better than sitting in a field rotting away.

For the record I think it would be cool if you managed to get it back.

Re: Still looking for the '71 Gmc
 

Me too

I just hope its what I think it is
