I am like a little kid on Christmas eve. Last night I couldn't sleep for nothing, thinking about my dad letting me drive his truck when I was a kid and thinking about all the times we went 4 wheeling in his. I have one more day to keep my secret from him about getting this truck and it is killing me. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees that old truck.

Sorry to say...I did not buy the truck. There was nothing left of it. The guy had been using it as a farm truck for the last 8 years so there was nothing left of the body to even salvage. And the thing had 411 gears in the rear with 373 gears in the front.....my God I never in my life have seen someone so dence as this guy.

Oh well at least my oldman got a kick outa seeing that old truck. It brought back alot of memories and alot of laughing about the past on the long ride home. I guess i will just go back to tinkering with my old GMC 4x4.
