Default Re: More GMC Photos

I used to drive by this truck nearly every day on my way to town and back home. I stopped one day to ring the owner's doorbell. I got to meet Lou who had driven this truck on his job with the regional natural gas provider. When he retired, he was given the opportunity to buy it since the truck was being retired too. It's a 1963 two wheel drive with 305E, 3 speed manual, big back window, short wheelbase with utility body. The engine has always been run on propane, so the internals are probably really clean.

I offered to buy the truck, but Lou wasn't selling. One day the truck was gone and I realized Lou had moved away. I managed to find his new location recently, but if he still has the truck I can't tell due to the high fence around the back yard. If anybody out there wants to try to buy this truck, let me know. I'll ring the doorbell and find out if Lou is still alive and if he still has the truck. He'd be in his 80s by now, if not 90s.
