69 GMC "Ol' Blue"

[mjensen]

Well, I figured since I started tearing into my truck I would create a build thread on it.

Story:
My grandfather bought this truck brand new in 1969 with a camper and paid a little over $6,000 for both (camper was over 4k of it ). This truck has seen its better days, but is still kicking. It's been through 6 kids driving/beating it. It's been stolen, wrecked, it got in a fight with a deer, been shot in (inner fender well still has the hole), and various other "good times". I loved this truck since I was a kid when my father was using it as his daily driver. I remember standing on the seat trucking down the road and just how cool of a truck it was. I would keep asking grandpa when he was going to give me the truck and he would always tell me no way. Well, in June of 2006, he passed away and my grandma gave me the truck. I'm soooo happy to have this truck and can't wait to get the time and money to get it back on the road.
