I need a new project like I need a hole in the head, so I went and looked at this on Friday. I think it's coming home. Transport will be fun. The GMC is too easy to work on, so this will allow me to embark on a new journey of never finding parts.
What did you do today that kept you away from your GMC?

Surely you've seen the spring thaw by now. Not even a dewinterizing in the works?
Ran when parked...?
It's good to have a lot of projects, makes you spend your time more efficiently. Of course it'll also drive you crazy, but you'll be a very efficient crazy person.
At some point, yes.Ran when parked...?
This truck has survived two previous owners while sitting. Guy A was the actual owner/driver/farmer, and passed away. It has WA tags from 1997--way newer than some of my other projects. After it sat a few years, his wife got all the inheritance paperwork together and sold it in 2003. Guy B bought it and shipped it down to Oregon. He set it in front of his shop, where it started gathering more moss. Guy B reportedly had a lot of projects, and never got around to it. He then passed away as well, I think within the last couple years. This is the last remaining vehicle his wife has to sell. It sounds like it's been a journey for her--a glimpse into my wife's future I'm sure. I should probably have another 40-50 years left, so I'll "get around to" making things easier someday.
We do have the original, signed WA title on hand. Guy B never titled it, nor did Widow A name him as the buyer anywhere. So the whole chain of ownership isn't accounted for, which may be OK if I ever get around to titling it with our Oregon DMV.
