Coca Cola truck

[old Rusty C10]

As those who read my posts know, I pick up a lot of junk cars and tow for a living. So every day I scout the craigslist to find some more junkers and see what is interesting out there. Recently I came across an ad for an 86LWB truck for $500. I was amazed as a lot of times the rustiest piece of junk is about double that.. ( thanks Barrett Jackson and you guys )so I emailed the guy immediately.
We texted back and forth a couple of times and he called me and told me the earliest he could show me the truck would be Saturday April 16 I and told him I wouldn't fight him on price and he should consider the truck sold. I guess I have an honest voice as the ad was down and Saturday morning we made arrangements and I went and bought it.
I have decided to name this the Coca Cola truck as all my builds have a name.
I would also like to remind you all I am still finishing Buddy's truck and the build to that can be found here http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=646966&page=4
So as I went to pick up this truck, I was told the story about how this family had this truck for years and it was their father's truck, and he was in failing health and they needed to sell the truck. His daughter handled the paperwork and although she was trying to put on a brave face, she was fighting the tears as I loaded it onto my trailer.. The previous owner , Mr Trong Q Huynh, had owned this truck since may of 1993 and had cherished this vehicle. His family was also quite attached. It had not been used in about six months due to his declining health and the family was being forced to sell it. I assured them their truck was in good hands before I drove away. I would ask that anyone actually reading this thread to keep Mr Trong and his family in their thoughts and prayers.
That being said , llet me show you what I have to start with
