[Hey Dude]

Here is what I started with. My grandpa bought this farm truck new in 1951. I learned to drive in this truck, feeding hay to the cows in our pasture in late fall when I was 10. Load bales in the back, put it in granny low, let the clutch out and steer. Get out to the pasture, get out hop in back and toss bales as the truck idled along. It would take me an hour to travel all of a half-mile round trip.

As I pulled it out of the shed... Parked since the engine seized in 1981 when I was 16.
