My name is Zeke and I first started coming here in 2005. I've been away for some time trying to start my own business while starting a family. Talk about stress.


But here's my short story. I've been an owner of a 1956 GMC since 1982.

My neighbor gave me this old SWB 1/2 ton on the condition that I make it run. But I screwed it up when I was 18. I blame the movie American Graffiti. I've regretted taking it apart ever since.

Well, after 28 years, I got a chance to redeem myself. This past weekend, I was able to bring old Bluey home.

Here's some photos of my old 56 coming home.

I'm hoping to put it back together to stock condition with minimal mods.

I feel forgiven and also I feel like a kid again. :-)

PS: If Richard "Truck26" Rosielle is still out there, I was also at Gary Ledene's place last Wednesday. Here's some photos I took.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Thanks for the welcome!

The photos of Gary's yard are just a fraction of what he has out there. He has at least 80 acres of vehicles. More tin from the 20's and 30's than I've ever seen before.

It's a good thing I don't live near Gary's Place. I'd have to go adopt a few more. LOL
