HELLO
this is my brother's old work truck
It was a faithful old truck for many years. This past summer, had a small engine fire, nothing major, the truck still ran. Our nephew came up from south Alabama, asking if he could have the truck. My brother told him he could, if he would get it road worthy: License, insurance, etc. During this time, he decided to buy an '81 Silverado shortbed, and began stripping this truck for parts. Left us missing distributor cap, rotary button, coil, the starter, starter bolts, carburetor, carburetor bolts, passenger side door handle bazle, window crank. We have managed to get everything but the carburetor, and bolts, and starter bolts. Being disabled and on a fixed income, this hasn't been easy. And wish me luck, cause Lord knows, I'm gonna need it. We're fixing this truck up for my brother's son, so we'll have a vehicle here while he's at work.
Since this build was started, my stepfather, my brother's father and my nephew's grandfather, has passed away. We are dedicating this in his honor. A couple of months before he passed away, he came over and looked at the truck, said he liked that, and looked at me and said, "I taught you well, didn't I boy?" Also said it needed a bigger motor, so we're working on that. Thanks for reading..
