Re: How I found My Truck...What's your story...?

My grandfather bought this truck new off the lot in 1965 because it was the cheapest truck, period. My dad bought it for me when I was 14/15 for $300. I drove it through high school then parked while I was in the army. Was reserected in 1996 into 1997 where I had it at Ft. Drum with me, and drove it a couple months, and then parked again. She sits on stands in my garage finally out of any weather, or move.

Have all original paperwork, books, protecto, flares, etc., and typed thank you from the salesman. Original 235/3-in-the-tree replaced with junk yard 327/TH350. After a year, 327 lost oil pressure on the way to school one day. I built a very low budget 350 with guidance from my dad. Had a radio put in at the same time because there wasn't one, I regret that decision now because the radio delete plate is gone forever, and the rectangle cut out is shameful. I was 16.

I've put roughly 4,000 miles on the truck since I got it from my grandfather. Photos are of when I got the truck.
