    Yeah...very cool lookin' truck...a few more pictures would be great. Man I got kinfolk all over Athens, Huntsville area. Spent lots of summers there as a kid...my favorite uncle would take me out street racing with him back in 1963, 1964.


    Ha...you posted a couple pics while I was typing. MUCH better pictures. Interior is way cool and I'm lovin' the patina.

  11. That is a helluva good looking truck. The more photos you post the more that I like it. The fact that your Grandpa bought it new and used it for years just makes it that much cooler. Looks like fun to drive for sure.

    You're right, sad but true...it is what the moonshiners drove, which is where this truck supposedly came from...rednecks drove the life out of their trucks, but with bailing wire and tape they kept them running...that's the look he is trying for -- maybe some other fake rednecks might take a hint from him and get an old jimmie or whatever...can't stop hoping!

    Thanks I love the moonshiner look that what I'm going for. It might not ever see painted. But I love driving the wheels off of it.

    Great truck, definitely worthy of a southern fried man and greetings from a redneck in exile. I was born n' reared in Ala-by-god-bama. How real? My grandmother was named Bama!

    All that truck needs is a 302" GMC with a few goodies on it and a three-pedal tranny. Saw a beautiful '37 in a show in the northwest, but it had a slush box. His money, his build, his decision, but by god man, have some balls - it's a truck!

    Question. The "General Motors Trucks" emblem on the hood is one that I do not recall seeing before. Was it used for multiple years or the specific year of this truck?

    Nice looking truck with a great history.

    After sitting all those years the gas in the tank will probably smell awful, BUT! the hidden tank could hold another great surprise!
