<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">Enclosed
are results of two years of pure enjoyment.&nbsp; This 1941 Chevy was purchased
by my Father in 1957 for $75.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">This
truck was used and abused from bootlegging coal, hauling trash and rock.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Drive train is out of a 79 Chevy Caprice.&nbsp; Front wheel Disc brakes,
transmission cooler, electric fan.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">The
box is lined with oak. Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires and American Racing wheels ride
real fine! Interior has a black leather seat to go along with a Jenson CD
player.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">This
truck has special meaning to all of our family members my brother and sister and
my son all learned how to drive while abusing the truck. Three days after I was
born this truck was my first ride from the hospital, my mom and dad owned a 55
Plymouth that would not start (MOPAR Junk). &nbsp;(<i><font color="#0000FF">curator

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">My
dad who is now 83 years old still enjoys his first truck. A mechanic by trade,
he can still repair most anything on this vehicle. &nbsp;Garage kept and used
only in fair weather it is a real head turner. &nbsp;From all of the work and
detail I am sure it can be around for quite of few more years. Your web site is
the best!!! I love reading and looking at pictures of vehicles that I grew up
with.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">Well
got to go wave if you see me!!!</p>
