So, okay, I know y'all are going to laugh, but I'm not proud so here goes. My daughter and I became real close reading and watching the movies that featured this truck. I even used my writing talent to write spinoff series of six books.

Then, I spent two years tracking down the original truck and came so very close to owning it. Unfortunately for me, the current owner decided not to sell. For her it was definitely the right decision since beside the movies, it held a special personal meaning. I'm 65 years old, and realized I probably was never going to own the original so I went looking. I couldn't find a local 1963 longed and my kids eventually convinced me I probably shouldn't own a longed since I plan on driving this until I can't... drive, lol. I found a nice 1965 shorted C10 just 15 minutes from my house. So, I bought it and started to get it like I wanted. Unfortunately, it needs more that I thought, but I am close to realizing my 1965 tribute truck to the 1963 longed C10 from the TWILIGHT movie.

You can stop laughing now, lol.
