Re: How did you find your Truck -and-Why did you buy your truck?

My dad had a 68 when I was a kid and I always wanted to have it.
He had to sell it because he couldnīt haul as much wood as he wanted. He replaced it with a 79 C20.
I always told him I would find his old truck and buy it back.
We lost track of it and never seen it again.
Thatīs what made me go out and look for one.
I checked some out when we were in the states on vacation and liked them all but they just werenīt right.
I finally put a search up on Craigslist in Oregon and 2 guys called up. I checked out the first one and the engine was clean but the rest needed alot of help. It had a metal bed anyways. I wanted wood.
The second guy called up and we went and looked at it. He opened the bed and I seen wood. Sold!
A week later it was on itīs way to Germany.
Now I am just about done with restoring the frame and suspension.
I am planning on driving it in August again.
