FANTASTIC FLATBED: Mega functional, mega cool

摘要

THE STORY OF HOW THIS AWESOME '70 GMC TRUCK CAME TO BE in its current form begins in 1993 in the town of Lovelock, Nevada, when John Simmons of Winnemucca, Nevada, saw the truck for the first time. "I had always loved this body-style truck and wanted to own one of my own badly. But with a new son and my wife's love for cutting horses it did not seem that I could ever afford to buy one. One evening on a trip home from buying a new horse trailer (you can afford anything if the wife wants it) I spot this truck (for sale) while stopped in Lovelock, Nevada. My wife returns from the gas station bathroom and we drive across the street to have a look. The truck is a 3/4-ton, four-wheel drive, long wheelbase, four-speed... exactly what I want, 3,000 bucks. Well, I had just spent $3,000 on a horse trailer so there was no way I was getting the truck. I pouted all the way home to Winnemucca. The next afternoon, while I'm working my second job, my wife shows up with a check and said, 'Go get your truck.' She had gone to the bank and gotten a loan for me to buy the truck (maybe she's not so bad after all). I didn't waste any time, I was on my way to Lovelock. The guy cried when I left with his truck."
