What was the inspiration?
It started out as a father son project so that I could have my first vehicle to drive when I turned 16. My dad and I started on it when I was 14 and got it done just before my 16th birthday. I'm now 38 and my dad and I restored it again to it's current state when I was 32.
How long did it take you to build?
It took a couple years to build this last time.

Your future plans?
I would love to restore it the third time with my son just like me and my dad did.
Vehicle history
I have the truck since I was 14 and i'm now 38. It's been restored twice by my dad and myself.
Thanks to
To my dad for teaching me how to build trucks and to my wife for allowing me the time and money to do it.
