[1981_c10]

I have a funny story for y'all. As most of you know, we spend our time searching CL or FB or Ebay or the forum to find our next project truck or parts. Just think back to the day when all this was done in the classifieds of the newspaper...

Well, my Papa who is in his late 70's found a score. Yesterday he purchased a 1975 GMC Beau James. From what I have read, only about 4,000 of these were made in 1975. The one he got has a fresh 350 in it, decent interior, and a 50 ft paint job. Originally the truck would have come with trim and a silver strip along the side and hood. Maybe we can change it back.

The truck is a long bed with factory tilt and AC. The AC will need to be worked on as it appears to be missing the compressor. I am looking forward to messing with this one and snapping a pic of my 81 C10, my Dad's 62 and Papa's 75 Beau James.

Anyway, here are some pics of Beau James. Plans to come.
