Our Truck in the News
Weather.com (The Weather Channel) is doing a special on family classic cars and ours made the cut. Check out the article here: weather.com
You will learn why we painted it green and a little about what my brother did with it before I got my hands on it (hint: these things can fly). 30,000 miles on it since the restoration 2 years ago and we have driven it to: The Grand Canyon Rocky Mountain National Park Glacier National Park Yellowstone National Park The Missouri River Blackhills of SD Everglades/ Florida Keys Smokey Mountains Cruised and Camped all of Blue Ridge Highway Acadia National Park and thousands of points in between You don't have to like our truck but this is why we built it, take care of it, and enjoy it. These trucks are awesome and we sure are enjoying ours. Very excited to get the truck in to the news and hopefully inspire others to fix up their old 67-72 sitting in the side yard.

Re: Our Truck in the News
That's a cool story and a nice truck. Love the color. I've been wondering what that color would look like on the 67-72 trucks. I think it looks better on your truck than it does on the Camaro's.
