Went for a drive with my son today, about 160 miles away, to go make a deal on a truck.
A virtual identical twin to the Canadian ( meaning Chevrolet ) 59 GMC 9380 1 ton that I've owned since 1989. Yes, originally, mine was even this same light pastel green/blue.
This one is in quite a bit better shape than mine was. 72,000 miles, original paint. Check out the headlight brows, the doors, the cab corners, the running board area.
Plan is to de-tune my current truck ( remove the 409, fuel tanks, tool boxes )... and give it to my son, Donovan, as his first vehicle. I have a decent 283 core that he can use for his first budget-engine build.
At the moment though, this new aquisition will probably just stay inside my shop, out of the weather, used sparingly for local dump runs, ect.
