[Rich72C10]

Houston, Texas - June 1981.

My grandfather's GMC (with grandmother, aunt, little brother and me in photo). While I know he let go of the GMC around 88~90 I don't ever remember a time before that he didn't have it. While I never asked or heard, I am pretty sure he bought it new. Year of truck, unknown to me. But I remember going all over Houston and East Texas (where I grew up) in it!

My grandfather, WWII vet was a waste gunner in a B17 (he lied about his age and joined up at age 16). Post war started working at Hughes Tool Crop in Houston and retired. Went to work in blue dungarees with a black lunchbox. I can still remember how it smelled and him saving his chips for me when I was down for the summer.

I think he would be smiling down with me getting a Chevy C10.
