Why a truck? I’ve always had a truck. I’ve always been fixing or building or hauling something for one of the kids.

I’ve had my ’53 for a little over a year and I’m ready to add some personal touches, to make this truck my own. Paint-to-match running boards are high on my list, as is swapping out the manual brake booster to a power one. I also want to do some work on the interior. But all this will have to wait until the winter, because I’m having too much fun driving it right now, either taking grandkids out on joyrides, or taking my wife out to dinner. I have fun everywhere I go in my truck.
