68 Farm Truck Build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bugmasta · 08-16-2009, 06:26 PM

I got this truck from my wife’s grandfather. He is the original owner of the truck and has all of the original paperwork and manuals. He sold his farm and this was the truck he used to chase the cattle around with. 55k original miles running around a cattle farm for 40 years. I was given the truck with the stipulation that I would never sell it and his great-grandson would some day get the truck. Pictures to follow as soon as I can figure out how to get them posted.

here is a link to the gallery where there are progress pictures http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...=65104&cat=500

Awesome truck! I think it adds to the motivation to get things done and to do them right when there is history involved. Keep up the good work.

Loading up to head to the glass shop. Weather is getting cold as you can tell from the condensation coming from the exhaust.

Yup, off exit 34 at the shell station. Real good BBQ.

The vintage air is just awesome. Building this truck to drive so I want it to be comfortable and reliable.
