Growing up, my dad had (still has) a 1965 Chevy C10 short bed with big window. My dad and I went through some tough times with my mom and when my dad and I needed to get away for a bit he would say, “ Let’s go cruising.” We would hop in, put the oldies on and just drive.

I told my husband I wanted a truck like my dad’s. My amazing husband started saving money and talked with my cousin’s husband about what he wanted. The next day my cousin’s husband sent a Craigslist ad with everything I was looking for. We called to make an offer and went down the next day to pick her up.

Ginger is a beautiful red Chevy C10 Apache short bed with the big window in the back. Original trim and a beast of an engine. I just started my Ginger bank to start fixing her up. I am so excited for this journey and for my daughter to be a part of what was the best memory of my childhood. A huge shout out to my husband for making my dream a reality.
