I first saw Banana sitting outside a few mile from my house. After me and the wife both driving by several times, I finally caught the owner outside and stopped to look at the truck. It wasn’t for sale, but he was open to discuss. Eventually his girlfriend set a price and we agreed to purchase, but had to wait for the title to come back that she had just sent in. I wasn’t positive the deal would go through until it was sitting in my driveway.

I have most of the documentation on the truck. It lived it’s whole life in the next county over. It was bought from a Kalamazoo GMC dealer new on Jan. 12, 1966 by a gentleman from Roan, IN. On June 10, 1968 a farmer from Wabash, IN bought it, and kept it until sometime around 2012. It was apparently owned for a few years by a gentleman from Wabash who did a lot of mechanical repairs. He owned a used car lot. After we bought it I recalled seeing it a couple of times sitting on a used car lot in Wabash, but it had plates on it and was not parked like it was for sale. I’m sure we took some cell phone picture of it, but I cannot find them to date when it was there. I was able to see the truck on Google street view. I think the farmer is 93 and still alive. The second owner (farmer) paid $1,895 for it used in 1968, and his insurance cost him $42 to insure it for farm use.

I have several state inspection forms and repair receipts that documents the 64,000 original miles.

That is neat! Love it when you know your truck's history.

That's some nice documentation. Like TJ said, knowing the trucks history is great! I posted this pic a year or two ago, but it goes along with the cover of your owner protection plan booklet.

Thanks Doug. I've seen the "Tower of Power" picture before or an advertisement with that picture. I never noticed it on the cover of the warranty book though. I guess I need to pay more attention to details!

I should get a copy, it would look good displayed beside the warranty book.

I've found out some additional history of our truck. In 1968 it was traded into Denney Buick Oldsmobile GMC, and Mr. Cox bought it in June 1968. His wife drove the truck and sometime before 2012 painted the lower half with a "foam brush". In 2012 Mr. Cox ask Mr. Denney of Denney Buick Oldsmobile GMC if he would like to buy it back. The truck had been sitting for several years. Mr. Denney accepted without even looking at the truck. We have spoken to Mr. Denney. Mr. Cox is 93 years old, and his wife just passed away in June at 91. We have exchanged letters. We hope to meet with him sometime.
