'66 GMC BBW w/351E and Factory Buckets
Finally, after a year and a half of chasing down names and numbers I got a new truck! It all started the first day of school last year, I was about a mile and a half away from my school, headed to lunch, and noticed a 60's GMC grille next to a shop out of the corner of my eye. I didnt get a good look at it so I decided to come back and look at it after school. When I got back after school a cover was over it and it was locked up behind a gate. Disappionted but still excited I drove by that shop atleast 3 times a week for the next 6 months... Then one Saturday, the cover was off. I stared in from the gate for a little while and figured out it was a 64-66 GMC Custom Cab long bed with the big back window. and that was all I needed to see. The next week i drove by all the local businesses and not a single person could tell me who owned the place. They all thought it was abandoned since no one was ever there and the gate was always shut. I spent the next two months chasing dead leads and never could find the guy so I tried to forget about it. Fast forward to last monday. I was home sick and bored so I went for a drive, I passed a 65 chevy and the GMC crossed my mind, so I cruised that way. Upon my arrival I discovered some trucks from a local business sitting in the lot with an open gate... I ran across the street and asked around, turns out they were leasing the lot. I got the owners name and number and called. Turns out the truck belonged to one of his employees, so I got his number and called. We talk for a bit and he tells me it was for sale. I was ecstatic. The next day I stop by, check it out and go home to talk to my father about it. He told me we could come back Saturday and take a look. So this afternoon we go over, and end up getting it. I may have paid to much but this is what I got and I couldnt be happier
