Been around a while now and thought I should post a picture.Thanks to 50adrod I now have a seat to go in it.Just got the windows in it last week.Now to get to the brakes,and tires and get some other little things fixed then it can go on the road. Picture of truck

I knew about it almost 8 years before I got it,I was only 13 when I found it and he wanted more for it than I wanted to pay.So I never got it,but then last year I was driving by and he had pulled it out of the barn and put a tarp over the cab.Couldn't stand there and do nothing,it looked like it needed a new home.So when I got home I dug around and found his phone number,called him,went over there and got it home the next week.:)

It spent alot of its life taken care of,but the front end is messed up a little from the P.O,it rolled into the woods and messed the grill up and pushed the right fender back.But its not bad,he gave me a good grill with it and a friend of mine said the fender can be fixed,So I hope to get him to help me fix it because he knows alot about body work .

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
