'72 GMC Sierra Grande 2500

I have no idea why I haven't posted pictures of my old girl here before, but here she is!

I inherited it when I was 16 from my grandfather who was the original owner. I had no DL but a truck. When I turned 18 and got my license it was driven for 4 months before driver error led to the engine seizing up. (original block and crank and I WAS NOT happy at all!) So she was put in storage for 4 years until my father found another engine in a junk truck and it was dropped in. Runs great now and the looks haven't changed one bit. It has had probably 100 miles on it since the engine was put in and is in storage now because i'm in the military and don't want it where I am at currently. But I love that truck to death and it's staying in the family forever!

Until we meet again old girl
