New Old Guy or Old New Guy

[autowrench]

Greetings from Trout Creek, MT! I have been watching this forum for more than a year now. I had some trouble joining initially, but all is well now. I am a retired automotive mechanic who used to be with the National Park Service. I "inherited" a project 1959 Chevy Short stepside from my brother. It went to his son first, but he had too many other projects and the truck was here and not in San Diego. So, he offered it to me last year. My brother passed away in November 2019. It will be the hardest project I've ever taken on and I am keeping him in mind while I do it. I will post some pictures as I go along. I'm 69 now, so I have no idea if I will finish it or not. I am looking forward to driving it some day!
