1995 GMC Sierra 1500 – Jimmy and Garrett P.

I’m 51. I grew up in the 80’s and got my license in a time when a car or truck was everything you wanted. I had an ’84 Silverado and absolutely loved that truck. Fast forward 30+ years and my son is ready to hit the road and in much the same way as his old man, he wanted the same type of truck I did. And we got pretty lucky. A ’95 Sierra at a used car dealership/wrecking yard came into our lives. A well made project with a lot of goodies including fresh paint, lowered stance, rear disc conversion, and a healthy 350 and rebuilt transmission from a reputable mechanic is now sitting in the back yard with a wishlist being added to every day. It’s definitely not what a lot guys his age are driving around here. We live in a rural area of north Louisiana where lifted trucks are the norm so he stands out by laying low. He’s a great kid. His GPA is better than anything I could’ve done at his age and he’s more level headed. He likes older things and knows how to work for what he wants and take care of what he works for. I’m glad his mom and I were able to give him a ride we know will last him and one that he deserved.
