OK, so here's the new work horse for hauling the GMMG and other toys. Meet HIYO The Silverado
A 300,000 mile ol mule. Soon to be given a facelift and the love and care worthy of a GMMG hauler. This is step 2 to getting all my cars to the Camaro Nationals next June. Step 3 will be locating a borrowable 3 car hauler.

You guys know me and my love for used car lot finds. This one happened to be 2 miles from Carl Black Buick GMC of Roswell, GA. (Also of BlackBird Fame)
The funny thing about this one is it was originally sold by the local dealership 11 miles from my house, I found it 250 miles away, guess it was meant to be a Columbia, SC truck after all.
Before purchasing, I took it up the road to Carl Black for a pre purchase inspection. The guys there were fantastic. Even got a really cool Carl Black leather ball cap out of it.

Cool that you got to talk to the guys at Carl Black also. Any idea if Chris (BB #1) was there back in 2001 & 2002?
Thanks. It's a beater that's seen better days but totally resurrectable to be a decent workhorse. Right up my alley. Not sure about Chris's status, have put him and Jim in touch with each other. Hopefully he'll sign up and give more details.

Leave the front bumper Bob - it adds 'Character'

Too late. Although you're right Craig, it does add character, I just can't roll ugly
It came out of the shop today with SS type front treatment, body color rear bumper, Halo's, HID's and LEDs . Will post daylight pictures tomorrow
