Guys I can't say enough how great it was to meet y'all! My wife (Beth) even said you know out of all the car shows we've done (with other vehicles) having the bolt was the best! She said the fellow bolt owners/enthusiast are much more fun than others we've dealt with which I completely agree!
Strangest thing happened after y'all left that I feel like I must share. While you know the story on my truck (purchase locally, grape farmer etc) I met a couple after y'all left that came up and started talking about the truck. Somewhere in the conversation the gentlemen asked my where I found it. Well I said east side of town from a local grape framer as he's passed and I bought it from his daughter. The man then says Louie Chappell and I was like yes; you knew him? So we proceeded to talk about the man that owned the truck before me.
I was dumbfounded that after all the years that truck has sat hidden behind the mans house where his daughter now lives and I take it to the first show in over 20+ years and I meet someone that knew him. I personally find this amazing and couldn't believe this is possible over a truck. Certainly we all recall a memory when we see something that sparks this but to meet a person who knew a man I never met and then to have owned that truck and know him by name IMPRESSIVE in my book.
Certainly not your everyday my granddaddy or my daddy had a truck like this experience. Just wanted to share. Let me know when we will meet again. I'm driving her a little more each week so I'm game to travel. Pleasure meeting you all Travis.
