Grandpa's Truck Reborn
Well I have been reading this site for a while and could not have gotten as far on this project with out the knowledge here on this site . So First I would like to say THANKS TO ALL OF YOU !!!!!
My grandpa bought this truck new in 1970 and didnt drive it very much stayed in the garage . Flash forward 1995 88000 miles on truck my uncle came into town to borrow it and got into a bad wreck on the way home . Granny was really upset so I fought with insurance and finally got the truck back and 3000 dollars to fix it . Started working on it and Granny pasted away. So we stopped the project . Years later the shop it was in was distroyed by Hurricane Ike and the only spot almost left standing was where the truck was. WOW So I figured that was a sign lol to get in gear . So anyway its almost done and I am going to give it back to my 80 Year old father for his 81st birthday coming up soon HOTROD STYLE lol Heres it present day condition I think he is gonna like it !!!! Thanks for listening Tim |

Re: Grandpa's Truck Reborn
Wow that looked like scrap metal! hope your uncle was wearing that helmet. You should make a video when you give it to grandpa, you could be in one of those chevy true story commercials!
