“It had my name on it”
My son and I spotted this truck while roaming the first Tri-five Nationals. Our last names are Sinclair, so we were immediately drawn to it. There wasn’t a for sale sign, and the owner wasn’t around. We kept stalking the area, and finally caught him as he was driving out to go home. After some discussion, a deal was struck. I drove it 700 miles straight through to get it home (arriving about 4 A.M., after way too many energy drinks and candy bars). It’s a frame off build, and has air, power steering, disk brakes, and tilt wheel. It was once featured on an episode of Powerblock. I had intended to change the “Pete’s” lettering to “Tom’s”, but within a week, I noticed people were already calling it “Pete”. “It now has over 33,000 trouble free miles on it since the rebuild. Most recently, “Pete” won the “Suede & Chrome” award at the Goodguy’s event in Lincoln, NE. (“Second Day at the Hay”).
