1958 Task Force
"Frank gets a New Lease on Life"

For 20+ years I tried to convince my dad to let me fix up the 59 that he bought to fix up with my brother that never got touched. The story of that truck (which is also mine now as well) can be found here.

When I finally gave up trying to get him to sell me that truck, I went looking for another four-headlight, long bed, Fleetside, Chevrolet truck for myself.

I eventually found one over in Billings, MT and successfully bribed a friend with a bigger truck to help me haul it home by offering him all the road trip snacks he could eat and a stop at Chik-fil-a on the way back.

We loaded my son up in the truck and set out on his first epic road trip. We stopped at Twin Falls on the way back and crashed a car show in the Chik-fil-a parking lot while we had dinner.

My daughter is looking over my shoulder as I get these pictures out and post them. She says "I remember that day. I was so cold because I had to stand outside looking at a dumb old truck that I didn't care about. That's sad because I really like this truck now."
