Project 65 Daily Driver

My current car is six years old now and I was thinking that in three to four years I’ll be needing to get a new car to drive to work. Well I hate car payments and I wanted my next car to be a truck. Even if I bought a used truck with low miles it would cost me $10K.

I found this 65 SWB fleetside and the price was right so here we go!!!!
