Mr Blue

I bought Mr. Blue, a 1988 GMC C1500, in 2003 and used him as a daily driver for many years. By 2020 he was in desperate need of an overhaul. In return for his faithful service, I decided to restore him to his younger days. This project would take 2 and 1/2 years of weekends and a few holidays to complete.

I purchased many of the replacement parts from LMC Trucks and found the “how to” YouTube videos very helpful in completing various aspects of the build. Mr. Blue’s design incorporates the Marine Corps.’ Dress Blues as a theme, both as a nod to my days in the service and in acknowledgement to his durability and service time in our family. Mr. Blue is “Always Faithful”!

I enjoyed the complete project and look forward to many more years of reliable service, with help from LMC Trucks.
