My Dad's truck back in the day

My dad heard about it from a friend who bought it new then caved in the front corner on a tree a couple weeks later. He was able to buy it for $500. The insurance called it a total. I remember him hooking a chain to the frame and a tree, a little momentum and then-BAM! We retook all the measurements and he got it nearly if not perfectly re-aligned. Fender and some other pieces were from Chevy dealer I think . Hood was from a friend and we took the letters off and repainted the whole truck dark brown which, incidentally, is a very pretty color when done right. Too bad we don't see more of it. This pic reminds me of the movie, "No Country For Old Men." That truck got sold a long time ago but he did give me a bad custom 66 327 4 on the floor that I love.
