My dad bought a 68 GMC new which I learned to drive ,three on the tree . Sometimes if you didn't shift quite right it would get stuck between gears and you would have to fix it . The reason we got that truck, was because of the glove box. We did get a dodge first and it wasn't heavy enough for hauling a camper so traded it for the GMC. My mom liked it because the glove box held lots of stuff and with the box open the lid made a nice big table to put a coffee cup on . I am now 68 years old and I still own the truck ,my dad bought , I have worked it pretty hard over the years but it still runs ,never been in an accident and I have plans on a restoration .Great truck .
