Ebay - Chevy truck widower selling their whole lot

[Riveted1]

I had a few minutes one day, and looked all over Chip Foose's site and the Overhaulin page for the link to nominate someone. Never did find it.

That would be so cool!

From the auction description it sounds like two of them would run with very little work. Dumb question I know, but I assume overhaulin is a TV show?

yup sure is. you ever heard of Chip Foose??

[Riveted1]

You know if someone submits her, and she comes on here and reads this, it won't be much of a surprise!

actually maybe it will be. I just got this last night from her daughters.
Can someone fill out the application? I'm not familliar with that show at all. I guess I need to start watching it, but I'd never heard of it. I'd say if whoever fills it out needs her address and other stuff, you could email Tiffany & Becky at the email below to get that. This way it would still be a suprise.
Here's Dawn's daughters' note:

Subject: Dawns Trucks


Dear Zippy dodog, Hi. My name is Tiffany and my sisters name is Becky. Our mom, Dawn had the trucks on auction. Our grandma lives with mom cause she is disabled and mom takes care of her. The thing is that she took grandma to Georgia today so she could visit her sister and they should be back tomorow afternoon. She told us that there was some awesome people on a chevy truck website that were willing to help her figure out the best way to sell her trucks and all the parts she has but she was havin trouble joining. She said yall were talking about her problem and she asked if we could come by and fix everything cause she wants to be able to talk with everyone. Well we waited for her to leave so that we could go ahead and read all her incomin and outgoin e-mails cause shes been crying alot since the auction and even tho she says its good crying, we were worried and didnt want her to fall for somethin bad on the internet and get hurt cause she probly couldnt take much more you know? Well after reading the emails you sent we want to tell you what a special person you are to reach out and help a perfect stranger like you have done. Then we found the pages about her on the website and we basically fell apart. Mom hasnt seen them cause she thinks you have to be a member and log in before you can search for them.. Yall dont know how it makes us feel to read such nice comments about our mom from people all across America and even Canada. We just dont have words to explain how we feel. Please know that we thank all of you with all our hearts!! We think it might be a good idea if we stall her from registering for a while cause if she reads the part about overhaulin and the things yall wrote about the love she had for our dad were afraid she might think shes causin yall too much trouble and back off a little. Thats the way she is. Shes pretty shy about people wanting to help her. Overhaulin was one of mom and dads favorite shows and we thought about nominating her also but we didnt have a computer till recently and didnt know how to do it. Even tho theres not much chance the show would accept her we wanted to let yall know that she has a 5th truck in the garage that she would never even think of selling. Its a 1967 chevy short bed. My dad called it ol girl. Their plans were to fix up and sell the other 4 and use the money to restore it. Thats what she was still gonna try to do but she had to buy a better mobile home for her and my grandma and she has to sell the 4 trucks and motors so she can have it moved here. Shes saving some by tearing down an older trailer that was on the spot the newer one nneeds to be set on. Shes doing it every night by hand and scrapping it. She said shes still gonna restore ol girl tho.It doesnt run or have a bed on it but my dad put a motor in it that has some new parts on it so it might not be to hard to get it running. Really the bottom line for us is that even if the only thing that comes out of this is that she meets all you awesome people and yall can help take some stress off her by showing her a way to get a fair price for her trucks, then that would mean more to us than a hundred new trucks! Mom shares her computer with us but we created this email address just to write to you . We thank you all very much and look forward to hearing from you. shultz.tiffany@yahoo.com

man i dont know how i kept overlooking this thread, deff need some rep points, its a great thing that that you are doing for her

[Riveted1]

Personally, 63 & 64, I think you should be the one to fill out the application since you've had some contact w/her. Or should we all get the info and fill it out? LOL Flood their inbox with applications for Dawn. Ok, maybe a bad idea, they might get pissed.

But I would definitely add a link to this thread in the application. Might show em how many people want her to get on the show.

[jrb71c20]

Wow, I'm a few days behind...I'm just now reading this...This place is awesome

[Redneck-Mafia]

Just my .02 cents.
I agree we ahould all fill out app's and try to get her in. Let them get pissed, it shows a lot more people care for this lady than the average owner.

On the show they recently went to the SF area and restored a car for a kid that had lost his dad and it didn't even have an engine in the bay! So that throws the "must be running" theory out the window.

I have noticed that this season to get on the show you pretty much have to have lost someone in your life. My wife finally told me she submitted me after almost losing me to an illness and when I was recovering I was out in the driveway sanding the truck in my wheelchair! Still didn't get us picked apparently.
It's a very different show now. More ads and props than restoration and car guy stuff.

Keep us all posted on what we are collectively planning on doing.

Thanks guys

Just an idea...but what about that extreme home makeover show. It sounds like she needs more than just a truck and they might want to add restoring an old truck along with the house as an added twist to the show. No sense in putting all the eggs in the overhaulin' basket. I think there are a couple of different shows that might be interested in this one.

[tdave00]

Hey guys there is a guy named Lou that has a build thread in the 73-87 threads. He was on some show sorta like overhaulin. Someone should contact him and let him know about this situation. He might have some pull. There is also that show Trucks!, which is filmed (I believe) here in the middle tennessee area. She's only 3-4 hours from here. We might contact someone from that show and see if they would do something. Thoughts??

No problem. I took a look at the application and there's six items that I don't know the answer to. So, I sent her daughters an email asking for the answers, that way it'll still be a surprise. When I get a response back, I'll post all the info here or maybe just post a copy of the application, so that anyone else who wants to send one in can do so.

i hope they pick up on this and do something for her it would be cool as a double show extreme home make over/overhaulin get her home and ride done all at once
