This was my Great Uncle George pickup. I can remember Uncle George and Aunt Frances driving this old truck.I remember before Larry put the truck in the barn, the paint was like new and the truck look like a new truck and ran perfect. I am glad that Larry sold it to someone who plans to restore it and bring it back to life. Good luck and looking forward to seeing the many updates.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Wow! Thank you so much for responding. I'm going to pass this message on to Alex. What's crazy is he named the truck Frances! Thanks for sharing. And stay tuned in.

[@Jason_The_Stooge]

Keep it original, looks too good to be chopped and dropped

[@Jason_The_Stooge]

Seriously. Please don't resto-mod it. For the love of God😢

[@racer67]

@@Jason_The_Stooge u know hes gonna resto-mod it it has a strt 6! What i wanna know is why does everyone leave out what they pay for them!!

[@walkerperformance7626]

Thanks for sharing that with us, David! We got it to fire off last week, and are now in the middle of re-doing the entire fuel system. We will do our best to keep you and everyone else updated!

[@blowe1986]

Probably my favorite videos you have done. Don’t get to see that too often. Great work Robbie

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

It's definitely one of our favorites. Not sure we'll get to experience much like that again.

[@mikewhite255]

I love watching stuff like this , I usually imagine who owned it and the relationship they had with it but with this one I don't have to imagine .

[@KneeKnocker63]

I love hearing the stories of the old trucks makes it worth more to me

[@craigpalmer5693]

1967 GMC shortbed truck sitting in that barn many years need paint job tires new pulled that out and restore awesome video keep up the good work friend bless you

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

This is so cool! I just saw the thumbnail and had to watch! Back 1971, my dad bought a truck just like this one!! The same color and it was also the base model. The differences were that my dad's GMC was a long bed, typical four-speed and it had a V6 engine. I loved the sound of the V6, after he installed a glass pack muffler on the exhaust. I loved to drive that truck! Great memories! Good luck with the restoration! What a real gem!!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

So cool! Thanks for tuning in and for sharing the memory.

[@THExCITYxSLEEPS]

Damn. I'm wasting all my time staring at my 81 C10 watching these amazing videos!

[@arride4590]

I love American old trucks and cars. They are the best car era.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Completely agree

[@gphilipc2031]

I paid $600 for my '69 C-10 back in the late '70's. It was a 6 cyl short bed. Love that body style. I'd wash it get good brakes and tires and RIDE baby. The simplicity of the 60's and 70's C-10 is a blessing from God.

My grandpa, born in 1903, was a farmer in Oklahoma... every 4 years he bought new a chevy or GMC just like this. 6 banger, 3 on tree, only options were heavy duty radiator and heater. Paid cash, no debt. In 1959 my granny got a 9 volt transistor radio and hung it from the rear view mirror...lol

[@diyjman5259]

Wow you guys are finding those cherries that’s for sure

[@Legounivercerocks101]

I had the same situation as you guys, but mine is a 1970 Chevy C/10 with almost all the dressings, (power steering, 4 wheel heavy-duty drum brakes, and factory air conditioning). My grandfather had a 400 small block built for it back in the early 70s and it finally broke down in about 1990. It sat in a barn for the majority of 20+ years, and when we finally pulled it out a few days ago and gave it a nice wash, it almost looked brand new. Of course, it's sitting at the college I'm attending (for automotive tech) with nothing but the cab, frame, and bed still together. It'll be coming together in a few weeks for hopefully the last time before it can be called road worthy again.

I'm not even to the part where y'all load it onto the trailer...but you guys have my respect. You handled that extraction like pros. So, I will now sit here...eat my heart out...and watch the rest of your video. Y'all talk kinda funny, but we could get along just fine.

[@chicoshovelhead]

Oh, wanted to give credit for the video. it is quite watchable...I am wondering why you didn't make a quick offer on the old enduro motorcycle too...Yamaha? I ran around in a '67 Chevy stepside for years. Schoolbus yellow. I shit-canned the six and put a 283 w/fuelie heads in it...some slot mags, and made memories in it. Had a LOT of that gen GM pickup since. That there is sure a find. Glad you shared this.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks for the kind words! I believe the bike was a Benelli but the guy was hesitant to price it.
