Zane was 40 with a wife and 2 small kids and was a youth minister. His wife asked me to take the truck. It was on 4 flat completely dry rotted tires, broken brake line, all brake cylinders leaking, all U Joints shot, would not run, dead battery, shift linkage broken, and a host of little things. I've got it running and cleaned up. Lots more to do. Pics can be seen at: The Zanemobile

My brother in law was a Chaplain at Ft. Rucker and Zane passed after they left for their next duty station. We met Zane and Julie and the kids on a visit there to see our family. I have a '66 C10 Short Step and I admire you for taking the time to take this vehicle and work on it. Your desire to return it to Zane's boy is admirable and if there is anything I can do to help you with your project, please let me know. Keep up the good work - God Bless - Tim-o | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 8 | Tim, Got your message on ther Stovebolt forum. Indeed what a small world. I too am a chaplain and was stationed at Ft. Rucker 2008 until last summer. I preached Zanes funeral. It was an amazing celebration of his life. I'm interested in who your brother-in-law is. I now live in SC and work in ATL until the summer. I've had so little time lately working on the Chevy but I do get to drive her around town occasionally. Zane died on 27 Jan last year. For the one year anniversary of his death I sent Julie a Stovebolt calendar which featured Zane's truck in the 66s. I just ordered it today. The Stovebolt folks were facinated with Zanes story.
Anyway, great to get acquianted with you. God bless, Claude

That is one nice looking truck and a popular model. I'm sure someone above is smiling every time you turn a bolt on it. God bless for you work and caring. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 8 | Thanks for your kind words. It's been fun and challenging for a backyard mechanic. It helps having Zane as my motivation. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 | My first truck was a 66 C10 longbed Fleetside, small back window, 250-6, 3-speed. That was back in 78! Great truck. I should have kept it. I'm going to get another one someday.
Great story about your friend Zane. God Bless You and your ministry.

My brother in law is Everett. He is stationed in Germany but we saw him last weekend for a few hours.
Looks like you have some fans of Zane's truck and story. We saw your video of Zane's story last night. Great job! Maybe you should post the link here. Sounds like folks would enjoy it.
Enjoy the truck!
