Hey Leo,It was the summer of 1972. It took us a month to get it going but overall it was in pretty decent shape. I really wanted to keep that truck but had no place to keep it. We lived in a sub division at the time and no way was my parents going to let me bring that old truck home. Later that fall he sold it to someone else. I never even got my $10 back. That truck had not been started in 15 years so it was worth more money with it running. The experience was worth the price of admission. I have been a gear head since I was a baby.
The adults would bet on me because at the age of 5,I knew and could name every car or truck on the road.
I have not worked on a project like this for many,many years. I will be glad to get my hands on it. The only projects I have been working on have been an old motorcycle or two. Jim


Owning and working on an old classic is one of life's many pleasures! Make every day count! [Linked Image from i194.photobucket.com]
