Project Vin Dog

[2ndGenRR]

I'm not a huge believer in fate, but every once in awhile something happens that makes me scratch my head. I very recently sold my '62 C-10 and was cruising eBay just for fun, when I ran across a '52 GMC that eerily resembles the one my Dad bought when I was 16 (that's 21 years ago)...I sold the truck in 1991 to pay for college after my Dad passed away (seemed like the right thing to do at the time).

So out of curiousity, I call the guy and start asking about his history with the truck...turns out it's the same truck! What are the odds? Needless to say, I immediately spent some of the '62 proceeds and have my truck back.

My Dad, brother, countless friends and myself all worked on this truck back in the day and did a very amateur resto...we thought it was "awesome" at the time. Even pulled our school float with it my senior year.

It's a long way from perfect now and somebody really hacked up the dash and did a couple of other things that will have to be changed back, but I'll gladly put in the work for a piece of family history. My Dad's nickname was "Vin Dog", so I thought it was an appropriate name for this project. I'll update this thread as I go...

Attaching a few pics to get started...
