so, i couldn't help myself, i had to buy another truck :-( ... but, when i stumbled upon this one i couldn't help but :-) ...
i fell in love with this truck 2 years ago when it was my now ex-boyfriend's uncle's truck (if this is starting to sound like a redneck relations sort of story, it is) ... i told him if he ever wanted to get rid of it, to contact me ...
well, 2 years later, boyfriend is now ex and uncle is wanting to sell truck ... through facebook and myspace, friends of friends' relatives tell me uncle is selling truck ... i get ahold of uncle, and sure enough, it's for sale ... so i couldn't help myself, here he is, i named him Deuce ... he seems to have a lot in common with the number "2" ... very semetrical everywhere, two headlights on each side, etc. ... so, he's Deuce ... i'm looking foward to working on him, but definitely driving him in the meantime once his carb's rebuilt ...
he's a 1961 C2500 ... had new wheels and tires on it, new front and rear glass put in, new tail lights, and some interior work ... prior to uncle owning it, there was some shoddy bondo and body work, but he's pretty straight ... a little bit of rust in the common areas, but he's going to be my first body work project ... i've become too attached to my other trucks to attempt it on him, so he and i shall remain emotionally unattached until he's looking sexy, lol ... so, here's a few pics ...
