I can't imagine that anyone on this forum would object to a post like yours, Doug, especially with those photos. I love seeing old photos like those. I had hundreds of old GMC photos posted on the now-defunct Webshots site. If I ever get energetic enough, I'll post some of them to our new forum here.

Thank-you Ed! I wish I had more pre-1972 pics but we lost everything in a flood, including that pic of Mom with the '60 Burb but the pic was found in a field along with some other stuff of ours. She wrote on the back "found week after June 9 1972 Flood".
I lost a lot of pics when Webshots went down too, including the ones of the '62 GMC I had. Fortunately I had posted them in an album on the '60-66 Yahoo site and was able to get them back even though they were a little smaller before they disappeared there too. I would dig seeing your old GMC pics. I have posted a few I have in the GMC's in history thread on this site.

Thanks for sharing the history and photos DAC; I love looking at vintage pics like these.

You are welcome Funky61, history behind just about anything is interesting to me, especially if it is family related. It shouldn't bother me but not knowing any background about my '55 really bothers me sometimes. You would think I would get over it-LOL!
Here are a few more.
pic 1 is a pic of me about the time I got my first drivers license with the Jimmy winter-spring 1972. This is a flood damaged pic also.
pic 2 is Mom with the Jimmy in 1980.
pic 3 is our '72 1980 in Scottsbluff, NE where we built the '70 Monte Carlo remains into a stock car.
pic 4 The '72 with another stock car chassis in the box, 1983.
pic 5 The '72 after helping to pack in a very muddy race track in 1981.
pic 6 The '72 again also 1983, my sign shop truck.
Hope you all like them.
