Re: old blue
Latest new old pic of old blue.
Scanned 43 year old negatives February 77 before the Parker 400 if you look close you can see me in passenger seat of the jeep at 6 years old

Re: old blue
what a great story, and all of the pictures to go with it!..this really brings a smile to me..it reminds me of many memories I had with my grandfather in the earliest memories of my life, riding with him in his 69 c10, and in my dads 69 gmc, I would love to have either of them back today.and have always owned a 67-72 gm truck, since I was 16, this post made me realize I have owned my 72 for 24 years, and how much my sons love it...thanks for sharing, love the family side of our hobby!

Re: old blue
I love these stories of "Boomerang" trucks. People reacquiring their old trucks or their fathers/grandfathers old trucks.
There are quite a few of these stories floating around on this site right now.

Re: old blue
Me too, love this truck's tale of ownership. Off Road racing history included. It has a unique history being altered into a C/20 out of a short bed

Re: old blue
Had a Deja vu moment with our old blue last weekend.
At the shop watching my son fabricate a few tubes on a jeep cage, late nights with old jeeps and trucks took me back to being this kid sitting in the racecar. Flash back deja vu whatever you call it.

Re: old blue
Looks like your son is a good welder/fab guy. Nice job dad.
I always enjoy your updates.
