My dad owned an old 56 GMC Pickup that is a spitting image of this one. He sold it to a gentleman in Australia and was to paint and restore it. Now yall said you bought this through an auction in Nebraska, so I'm wondering if it got bought from the man in Australia. And auctioned off. I believe my dad sold his truck in 2010. Do you know the back storty on this truck? I would like to know more if you do

Years ago i put Champion spark plugs in my 1946 Chevrolet and i still had a miss so i put my old spark plugs back in one at a time i still had a miss so i took one out at a time and put a new spark plug in in its place then it ran good so i put the rest of the new spark plugs in one at a time and started it up until it missed. I found the new plug that would not fire. I took the new plug back to the auto store and they did not believe me so they checked the number on the spark plug to make sure it was the spark plug they sold me. It was so they gave me a new plug!! After they put it on their spark plug tester!!
