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
