My wife caters small to medium events. We have 3 kids and 2 cars. A minivan and a 2 seater convertible. When she does a catering event she has to transport all her stuff in the minivan. This was a problem if I had to take the kids anywhere. Selling the convertible was out of the question as we both enjoy driving it immensly. So July 2003 we started looking for a "catering Vehicle"
We wanted something special so a late model van was out. We settled on a 65ish Suburban. With the help of a friend we instantly found one. It was a 65 GMC with a luggage rack conveniently located near my Father in Alabama. All the others for sale were in the Southwest or Northwest, thousands of miles away. After we checked it out we put $500 down to hold it and I began the process of selling my 65 Chevy shortbed.
After 3 months with no luck we had to let it go. The search was on for another and we changed our target to the 55-59 Task Force. The 59 was the favorite. In April, after scoping the web every night for 9 months, I found one "inconveniently" located in Phoenix. Here's what I saw.

I thought $3000 was fair so I worked out the delivery. I have been working on this thing since. I spent 100's of hours this summer redoing the body.
I love it. Especially now that I can drive it more.
Sorry about the long post. It was a long journey.
