Needs a few items yet, but nearly complete. Truck will be on display at Autorama in Detroit next month. My grandfather taught me how to drive in it back in the 60's.

Yeah, it's been a long road Alan. The truck has been in pieces nearly as many years as it had been on the road. It'd had a hard life, my grandfather drove it all year long except when the snow was too deep and he needed the old Case tractor. The guys restoring it asked if it had ever been in the mud??? Are you kidding me? It was a farm truck!!! Hah! Road salt, fertilizer, mud it's seen it all. Also a couple of fender benders.. He even hauled grain with it a few times. But it was pretty much all still there and all original. My brother had taken it apart to replace the frame back in the late 70s, lost interest in it and it'd been apart since then. Luckily I was able to deter him from getting rid of the truck until I was in a position to take it over and get started on the restoration. Bryan
