Re: Has To Be The Most Rusted Out Truck Ever

Quote:
yeah, this picture dosn't make sense! I don't think it's possible to rust like that. Maybe it's a photoshop?
No photoshop there. This truck belongs to a customer of mine who's name and website has escaped me at the moment. The truck had and now has again a snow plow.
The truck originaly belonged to the owners big brother who use to take him out riding around when he was a kid plowing driveways in the winter for extra money. They use to fight and argue all the time as he was growing up, but they were very close. The two had a lot of history in the truck, both good times and bad. One day his brother sold the truck witch angured him because the truck meant so mutch to him. After the truck was sold he feared that he would not ever see it again, and then his brother passed away shortly there after.
He told me that one day he was driving around and saw the truck behind a chain link fence in a storage lot. He located the new owner and worked out a deal for the purchase of the truck.
Thinking of his brother the whole time, he completely restored the truck back to mint condition, buying what parts that could be purchased from us and fabricating what he couldn't.
I thought that he would store it in his shop, keeping it as a reminder of the times he had with his brother, and the love they had fore each other. Even though they fought frequently. However he suprized me when he said that he bought another plow for it, and plows driveways with it to this day. He said that was his intention all along, and he does it out of respect of his brother's memory. I will try to remember his website and post it if I can find it. But I still think of him every once in a while, and wonder how he and his truck are doing.
Thanks culp7, for posting the picture. WES
