1975 GMC Sierra Grande 15: Marfa & Maine

The big story of the week here is the release of the truck from its winter storage in a barn--actually, it has been locked up since we left for The Netherlands last August. A 1975 GMC Sierra Grande 15, with a Chevrolet tailgate. Charged the battery yesterday. Today she fired up with a snort and rumble. Maybe I'll post some photographs tomorrow. Here are a few from Texas, where we found the truck  sitting in Bee Pierce's lot one morning, a few years back. She was originally sold by Casner Motors in Marfa, Texas in 1975 and spent most of her life in Presidio County...








but now she lives in Maine.
