tribute build to my deceased son, his 1948 dodge truck
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ln 1995 l started the truck for me. my son. 9 yrs old at the time "helped" me on it. one day he said that the truck was his and l said OK. l planned to give it to him on his 16th birthday and teach him to drive in it.
2 weeks before his 16th birthday he drowned.
l was devastated and put the truck in storage, could not bring myself to work on it without him around to help.
abour a year ago my friends said either sell it or finish it, don't let set and just go to hell, you are disrespecting the memory of your'e son.
well, we dragged out of storage on june 10, 2010 and started the build.
we did a one year thrash and got it running and driving.
we finished about 4 weeks ago and l am so glad they talked me into getting it running.
l am having a good time driving it and it brings back some great memories of me and Jimmy working on this truck.
pics of what it looked like a year ago when we started.
