Well this Blog is suppose to be about trucks and truck projects so lets start with "old blue". A 1980 GMC 3/4pick up that I found just down the road from my house. Not my first truck but my first in about 12 years. Since I got married anyway. It was brown had a 3 on the floor, 350 ci motor and was in rough shape. Didn't pay much for it and it wasn't worth much. I restored it with the help of my grade 9 Auto students. It was a blast to work on with the kids. It was painted Blue so the name old blue was quickly adopted.
About 4 years later the tires and rims were replaced and I decided to freshen up old blues paint and body.
It didn't take to much to get it looking good again. At this time my wife bought a new 2005 Dodge Ram with the Daytona package. Nice truck
One nice truck until 11 months later when she was struck by a tree and written off.
Of course Old Blue was sold to one of my students and his Dad.
She went to a good home, now with the Daytona squished and Old Blue sold, I was truck less and without a project, or was I?
