The Rustina Project

My truck was abandoned after the owners fought a supposed head gasket problem and left it to sit and become covered in awesome patina, some from sitting for years and some of it from it being a company truck for a local plumber. I actually spotted the truck in the background of a Craigslist ad for a Chevy truck lol. I noticed only the top rear passenger side roof line and new it was a bumpside. Sent a bunch of emails due to no other contact info which led me to the daughter whose grandfather owned the truck and wanted it sold. After waiting days for them to get back to me the deal was done and I was able to pick up the truck.

Absolutely free!!! And my buddy bought the Chevy while we were there. I started the build in my home garage after work while I was working at a local hot rod shop, the time came and I finally was able to move on to my own space and custom shop where I finally finished my project on weekends and long nights. All the work was done by me with only some sand blasting, the motor was rebuilt locally and the seat kit outsourced.
