High School Build IV (Tyler)

[farmtrucks]

We are starting truck #4
I hope everyone has seen our other three builds - they are in my signature

This build brings me great sorrow as well as great joy.

This truck build is in honor of "Tyler Bell"

I had Tyler in school during build #1. He was the leader of the build - he was with me from start to finish, and he loved working on these old trucks. During the build he always said we need to build a 4x4 instead of this low rider junk.

After graduation he pursued his career in his passion of trucks and went to Nashville Auto Diesel College where he graduated and went on to work as a diesel technician

As a result of his passion for trucks he purchased a 72 4wd and another parts truck. He and his farther started the process of building his dream truck.

However on 2-25-17 Tyler was involved in a tragic accident that took his life as well as three of his close friends

A few days after the accident his father called me asked if I would be interested in the trucks to build at school - and I said sure.

The truck is a 1/2 ton 72 4wd long bed - my plans is to build it with a 6.0 Ls and probably a 4L80e. I may keep it long bed - but a short bed would look cooler

So I hope to build something that Tyler would have been proud of.

So everyone tag along as we perform this build

"Tyler" - this one is for you
