Wow, and I thought I was bad because I showered my truck on our anniversary (the day I brought it home)...

Glad to hear I'm not the only sick one out there! Now that we mention it, I need to plan ahead, anniversary is on March 19.

jonnybravo · 02-24-2008, 12:11 AM

i celebrate our anniversary as well. its easy to remember oct. 31 (2004)

hey, how do you like minot? i'm in butte, mt, but my parents and brother still live in williston. say happy b-day to your truck

Longhorn Man · 02-24-2008, 01:22 AM

this sticker is the only place I know of... in the drivers side door jamb, on the door.

The longhorn, as you see, was built 6/70, and my burb, i think is 11/71. My old longhorn was 4/70.

jonnybravo · 02-24-2008, 02:34 AM

Jimmy doesnt have a sticker like that he has a tag on the jam below the striker that has the vin and one that has the gvw. minots good- in the twenties today feels like summer!

jonnybravo · 02-24-2008, 03:04 AM

the serial # is 29397 if i can figure out how many gmcs were built in 68 i could approximate his birthday? any better ideas?

**68350** · 02-24-2008, 03:16 AM

40s over here, sorry can't help with birthdate

jonnybravo · 02-24-2008, 03:27 AM

went searching around the internet and found all sorts of production numbers for chevys but gm lost or destroyed the gmc info. maybe i will just pick a random day.

jonnybravo · 02-28-2008, 08:12 PM

i think i will say that the last saturday in june will be his birthday

Shyguy · 02-28-2008, 08:55 PM

My daily driver is 37 and my new project is 41.

I keep saying these are the last two 1967-72's for me, but when I find a good deal I can't pass it up.

i wish i had every one i see even the few that are in worse shape than jimmy but being an apartment dweller one will have to do.

lowrollin70gmc · 02-28-2008, 09:57 PM

I celebrate my anniversary on a very special day... Valentine's day! She's been with me 5 years, which is longer than any lady friend. I think I'll keep the old gal around, she does help me chase the younger ones, and no matter what the GMC was here first.

Is this a ND thread or what, I'm chillin' in Fargo at the moment.
