My dad purchased this truck new when I was 3 years old. It was the only vehicle the family had until I was a sophmore in high school when dad bought mother a used car.. Dad drove this truck to work every day until he retired in 1984. At that time he gave it to me . Not having the time or money to rebuild at the time, it was stored in the barn for the next 35 years. The truck became my project after I retired, and with the parts from LMC I think it turned out pretty good. Thanks, Wayne
