Thanks for the reminder.  I loved your restoration build.  Thanks for sharing.  I hope to continue on my 2 builds with write ups.  Life gets in the way and even though I built my dream shop it is so packed I can't work on either at the moment very easily.

2005 or so, before I got it out the farm cat had some kittens that lived under and in the engine bay of the truck... ;D

Kittens all got rehomed to places like SC, PA, OH and MS.  I was told by my aunt dang near every one of em lived 18 years.

These pics are the first day I had the truck on 6-25-2006 when I unburied it and got it out of its garage grave.  It'd been sitting about 12 years.  only had 76k on it.

1st pic is it in its resting place...lol

rest are when I drug it it out, aired up the tires and got it running again.  surprisingly I just pumped a bunch of r-134a into the ac system and it worked for another 3-4 years.   :o

Oldest pics I have of the truck.

1st is Grandmother and my sister on a road trip in 1981.  Not sure where.  I was 1 then...lol

2nd is a Trip Grandad to Wyoming in 1982 to go hunting and such for a month.  He had this framed in his mancave room.  His truck with the camper (no trailer) is at the far top right.  Grandad only used the camper shell and didn't take the airstream unless grandmother came with him.

3nd is Grandmother and Grandad Visiting Sanborn IA in 1983.  Grandad usually had that camper shell on it with the airstream.  the airstream is parked at the campsite so they're driving around in the truck.

4rd is me in 1986.  5 years old in IA the airstream with the old truck in the background

5th is my Grandmother, Nell in IA in 1986

6th is me and my sister by the Pocahontas statue in Sioux City, IA in 1986.  Truck with camper and airstream in background.


On the Iowa trip when I was 5 me and mom and my sister made the trip in the back of the truck in the beds in there.
