Have read "truck" a couple of times over the last 20 years, excited about starting the project, trouble finding parts, almost giving up,finally getting it running.....Could relate to the book, I bought a beat to crap ,1946 ford pickup in 1974 , fixed it up ,and still have it, drive it every summer. ...... Kind of like repairing garden tractors...only tractors are much easier....:thThumbsU
