Rusty

My grandfather got this truck in the late 1990’s and him and my father worked on it a lot. They pulled the motor, rebuilt it to be a 383 stroker, built a custom front and rear bumper, positraction differential, KC highlights and other upgrades. Shortly after they finished the truck, my grandfather contracted throat cancer and passed away a few months after I was born in 2002. My dad continued to use the truck as a daily driver and took me to soccer games and sorts as I grew up. One day the the way back from a game, the steering wheel came off while he was driving. Luckily we were almost home and there was no traffic. We pushed it back to the house and it sat for about 10 years in the yard. After I got my license and a job, I started restoring it slowly. Cleaned the gas tank and got her running. The truck used to be a soft orange but the sun faded the paint to the point it looked rusted color. So we nicknamed it Rusty. Me and my dad continue to work on it on free weekends and spare time as it has become something we like to work on together.
