1996 GMC C1500 – Kyle C.

My story of my truck is that I grew up in the cab of that truck once my grandfathers is now mine after he passed away I’ve had his truck for a year now with lots of rust on it and times where I almost had to sell it, I stuck through it with this beautiful truck. When I was young I used to ride around in the truck with my grand pop and now I’m honeyed to be driving it and now putting a 454 big block Chevy motor in it with a manual transmission. As it gives me problems left and right I love it to death and after working on it I refuse to sell it. As of a about a month ago I found tons of plans for the truck specifically written up for the truck to be turned into a street rod. My grandfather had parts galore for this truck as he built Chevy/gmc trucks and cars up to make them extremely fast agile and turn heads that’s exactly what I will do with my truck people call it a rust bucket but what I see in it is gold the amounts of times my pop pop had that truck smoking tires and always working on it with me I cherish it. The first day I got into that truck after he passed away I cried like a baby because all of his stuff was still there his tools his notebooks and some other things he had in the truck for car shows and showing off. His dream was to make a sleeper out of it and now it’s my dream he passed it down to me and now I will make his dream come true to prove everyone that I can do it. That’s the story of my truck which still has a long way to go but I drive it everyday with my pop pops spirt next to me.
