Re: my sons "new" truck
Priceless times right there! I was fortunate enough to have spend about 2-3 months with my Son building my truck-then working on his 71' Chero' before we had to part ways.
There has to be a story on that gray truck? From all the dirt it almost looks like it had been underwater? And the rust on the crank pulley says it was "put out to pasture" for good?

Re: my sons "new" truck
The history is that the Uncle died with no heirs..and it was left in the carport where I saw it for at least 5 years. I finaly saw someone at the house and asked about the truck. So they sold it for just $200.00 but they did not want to go though the trouble of getting the title. Now I'm going to use it for spare parts...basketcase0302 wrote:Priceless times right there!

Re: my sons "new" truck
Great project! Does my heart good to see a young man getting his hands dirty on an old engine. Far too many, these days, don't have the initiative. Keep up the good work!
