Well, my story starts a while back, I got out of the Army in Sept 1989, when I got back home, I was looking for a truck that I could afford yet still is reliable. I looked at a bunch of trucks then and even looked at a 72 Chevy SWB, man I loved that truck, but the guy wanted $4K for it, which I thought was fair, but no way I could get that amount.

I found an add in the local newspaper for a 65 chevy truck, needs engine work, $900. so I called the guy and went to look at it. he told me he just drove it back from the OK panhandle and this is where it stopped.

The body was fair, no real rot only a couple spots so that was good, it did run but had oil in the rad and water in the oil, not good. I told him no way was I taking that thing, too much to deal with.
So I walked away. next day he calls and said he has to get rid of it or someone will tow it off, he would take $300 and pull it to where ever I needed it taken to. I bought it. I tore into it imediately replaced the brakes, block and rad, a little wiring and we were ready for a drive, I drove the truck just like that until 2002 when I parked it for a resto mod, and actually I have been doing the restomod and part time driving it since.
