First GMC I remember was a 1960 at the age of 4, that Dad bought. It was yelo and white V-6 2wd Suburban with barn doors. A divorce in '64 took that one. In 1971 Mom bought a 1970 GMC Jimmy 4x4. I kept thinkin for several years that she would decide it aint a daily driver for a woman, and she would sell it to me cheap. Didn't happen.
I had to buy a 72 GMC C2500 in 1979 tryin to wait her out. I finally won when in 2001 she decided that the Jimmy was gettin to hard to get in and out of at the age of 78. Jeez it was hard to wait 30 years for a truck that I loved the first time Mom brought it home.

Later---DAC
