1977 GMC C15 – Deven B.

My father bought this truck in 2010 and at the time I was 2 years old. I grew up around my dad, he was a school bus mechanic that knew his way around mostly everything with engines, gas or diesel. Growing up around this made me love engines but really made me love this truck that I watched my dad rebuild. The 1977 GMC and his 1977 F250 but I always had a love for the GMC, I could explain but I loved it. My father would let me help a little bit but no too much, I got to do some bondo work and he showed me how to wire. But the truck mostly sat on the side of my house for most of my life, kinda rotting away again. But a few year after we moved from Milford Pennsylvania to Edmonton Kentucky. Which I hated but then I started working on the truck and fell in love with it all over again and it really started to mean something to me because I started working on it and fixing it myself learned through the process. I taught myself how to drive stick and really started putting money into it and oh boy if I knew that parts were so much money, I would have bought a mop. All jokes aside, I wouldn’t have given it up for anything but on a few months ago I got into a bad wreck with it and destroyed the frame and whole front end. Then I got money together and bought a 1983 Chevy K10 Scottsdale. I’ve never been one in the 80’s square-body because I thought they were ugly. We get to now, I’m trying to get money together tho rebuild my sweet 1977 GMC. I’m going to buy a whole ’73-’79 front clip for it to make it look spot on again. Thinking about it know once it’s done it will be so weird going from short bed 2wd to a long bed 4wd but I’ll do anything to have my truck back.
