Default Re: History, Teardown, and Rebuild 63 1-ton panel

Dug out some old slides I had, found some GMC photos. The first was taken during a Boy Scout Winter Jamboree here in Winchester. See the GMC in its 2-tone green next to a new military Humvee. Second and third photo taken after the truck had been painted for Forrest Gump. The CSX train is eastbound at Hanstrote, WV. The last photos were during removal of the many layers of paint. The first shot shows primer under the other layers from when it was in the fire department. I was told they had to sand off the lettering and primer over where they sanded before the truck was sold. Then a photo of a door I got off a big GMC moving truck. I hope that truck is still there, like to see what V6 is in it.
