My sister just called from Georgia to tell me she found my dad's old truck (69 SWB) and the guy will sell it to her for $300. I'm sending a check. I know it is rusted out and the engine is probably gone, but I still want it.
I flipped it end over end when I was 15. I had borrowed it without permission. My dad said, "You wanted a truck...there it is," as they pulled it up on the roll-back. It took us the better part of a year to get it back on the road. It was the first vehicle for all five of us boys. Of course, we went through several engines and put a stepside bed on it. My younger brother sold it a few years back. My dad passed away two years ago. I want to get it and restore it. Put a fleetside bed back on it. Leave it all drums. I figure I ought to pick up some original rust-free sheetmetal while i'm still out here in California.
