Hello,

I'm a new member from Central Minnesota. About 5 years ago I was able to buy my dream truck. Sure it's rough around the edges and will require a restoration. This truck drove past me every day I waited for the school bus from Kindergarten to 6th grade. I watched it grow in size as the 44's were added along with the duely box. Eventually the owner had a stroke and the truck sat outside and began the process of deteriorating. After years of searching for it I found it hidden behind a shed by the owners friend. I negotiated the purchase and will begin tearing the truck apart soon. It will be restored to replicate exactly what it looked like as I watched it pass me every day while waiting at the end of my driveway.
