Re: My first project. '70 GMC swb 4x4

Who said anything about money?Are we investors or enthusiasts?That`s where my "disrespectful" comment comes from.And,as far as the masses that like the more abundant Chevys,yet can`t appreciate the simular GMCs,buy a Chevy.Chevys out style all American vehicles out there in my opinion.All the GM cars seem to be a Chevy that they changed something on to make it a Pontiac,Buick,or Olds.But,I don`t see people changing Cutlass,Lemans,or Skylarks to Chevelles.There are choices and most go Chevy,car or truck.There`s something cool beyond whether one grille looks better than a Chevy when it comes to having W-3,GS Stage,or GTO HO over and SS454 just like having a loaded Sierra Grande over a Cheyenne Super.Not everyone gets it.
All shortbed 4wds are somewhat rare.GMCs were built somewhere in the 1:5 ratio to Chevys.Is Ragamoes black truck in "Trucks For Sale" undesireable to most?Would you change that grille?That truck is awesome and to an investor ever bit as desireable,if not more,as a Cheyenne Super.

When it comes down to it,we`re all keeping these alive and that`s what counts.Just as we change them to our liking they can be changed back.Well except for the hacked-up frame draggers.
