A little update.

I've seen Tom a few times this summer. The first time we discussed the price, I had just sold one of my project cars, a 29' chev 2dr coach in order to secure the funds for this truck. Tom was quite disappointed that I sold the car, saying that he didn't really care about the sale price he just wanted his truck to go to someone who deserves it. I told him you cant keep them all and that his truck was a dream truck of mine whereas the car would've just been cool.

He came to check out the shop a few days later, after seeing the shortbox project, which incidentally I have owned for 24 years. he basically told me that price wasn't an issue for him as he's 80yrs old and doesn't need the money and that his truck is coming to my shop.

now, I just talked to him a few days ago, the truck needs a few minor things, nothing crazy just some wiper issues and regular maintenance type stuff. He doesn't want to pay someone to fix those items as he would have to charge me for the increase. So, I'm picking the truck up in a few weeks!!!!!!!!!!! I'm totally stoked!! I should be able to drive it for awhile before the snow flies.
