Re: Brought it home

Nice truck!! And, as dan42 and others have already said, what makes this deal even better is the story. It was good of you to be a good friend and be supportive of this gentleman. Enjoy your truck, although you'll probably always think of it as "The Professor's"!

For the first time in forever, not a single 67-72 Chevy truck, Blazer, or Suburban on the property! Basically retired and getting the new Motorhome ready for some traveling. Doing a bit of work on the house getting it ready to sell! LOL!!

Thumbs up Re: Brought it home

Thanks for the compliments. The old guy is 93 now. I used to sit and listen to his stories about growing up in eastern Kentucky in the 20s...moving with his family to Idaho in the 30s, then going under and moving back to Kentucky...being a national guardsman in KY during coal wars...WWII as a battlefield medic in Europe thru the entire war...graduate school...how much he loved Texas A&M...and getting old. I'm sure most of you know how tough it is when you realize those stories are lost to the ages because the storyteller can't remember them. Bittersweet is definitely the word.

No, it's not as rust-free as it looks. It doesn't have a lot of underbody rot (as you would expect from a Texas pickup) but it has a rotten cowl/firewall. He parked it under trees a lot, so leaves collected in the cowl and you know the rest. Some of the work I did in college was shadetree bodywork to seal out rainwater from dripping on his feet while he drove. That was temporary at best. A new cab is in the plans unless I figure out a firewall transplant is more practical.
