As I was looking out the window at the Volkswagen dealer across the street I noticed a 1979 GMC truck on the lot. This intrigued me (since I had been looking for a truck recently) so after my meal, I went to look at it.<br \/>\nThe salesman stated they had just gotten the truck as a trade in for a new VW. The original owner had the truck specially made for him &amp; decided he didn\u2019t like it (ate too much gas) so he traded it in.<br \/>\nThe truck has a 350 corvette motor, transmission &amp; air cooler. It did not come with the shell, I bought that later, but did come with a Craig 8 track AM\/FM radio, power windows, power door locks, duel electric gas tanks, cruise control, air conditioner &amp; tilt steering wheel. The truck only had 900 miles on it and they wanted $6500. I gave them a deposit, went to the bank the next day and got the financing &amp; had a friend drive me straight to the dealer. Drove the truck home that day.<br \/>\nI later had a shell put on &amp; then added the air scoop. I also carpeted the truck bed &amp; made storage boxes.<br \/>\nThe mileage I now have on the truck is 54,000 original miles. I used the truck for towing my boat &amp; it was stored in a garage, completely covered. Now everywhere I go someone is asking if I want to sell. My stock answer is thanks but no thanks.<br \/>\nAnytime I have needed a part or add something to my truck, I always contact LMC.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_2_5 2_5 fusion-two-fifth fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:40%;width:calc(40% -
