Well this truck has a really long story but I'll
try to make it short and sweet. It all started with a trip to
my wife's cousin's farm in Kentucky. We were looking at some
of his horse's when I saw this old truck next to his barn. I
thought to myself "I sure would love to have that old
truck" at the time not knowing what was evolved in
restoring it. So I asked him if he ever decided to sell it to
let me know. Well about a year later I got a call from him
telling me that he had painted it and was ready to sell. Then
the next weekend we drove the 4 hours to Kentucky from our
house in Dayton ,Ohio. When we got there and checked the truck
out we realized that even though it was painted it still
needed restored and painted. Needless to say he wanted way too
much for the truck. Fortunately for me they like to do a lot
of trading. And I wanted the truck something awful. We ended
up trading cash, shotgun, old video camera, and a old
lawnmower for it. A few weeks later we had it hauled to our
home. At first my intentions were to fix it up a little and
drive it every so often. But after I got it home I couldn't
resist taking it apart. Well one can of worms led to another
can of worms and before you know it I had a 2 1/2 car garage
full of parts with the only thing left but the frame and cab. |
