gas 44 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 So you know what the next step is :shocked: What you need to do is get contact details of the vehicles for their current owners and try to sort out a GMC gathering in a central area convenient for all. I'm up for that. The shame is as Vulture says fuel prices make it hard. Some people I know have all but moth balled their Gmc's in favour of a Dodge or Jeep......shame but thats the way things are at the moment. I'm lucky I suppose we split the running cost of ours.

R Cubed Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Surely if people have got them mothballed it would be worth it for one outing to beat all others, do it just once to get the most GMC CCKW's in the UK in one place at one time would be a stunning sight and probably the largest gathering of trucks since the war, probably a Guinness record !!!!! Get Jack on to it he can work his magic again.... To all you GMC owners out there looking at this thread what do you think just a one time trip just once..... go you know you all want to.

Vulture Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'd be up for it, provided it was held with 150 miles of York, otherwise the petrol cost me for is just too prohibitive.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
