    That's what we did. This truck has driven all over the country, it isn't a trailer queen. It doesn't come out much anymore but it's not just sitting.

    It was finished before I was born but I've always though it was the coolest hot rod ever built. It was a great day to get to drive it. I do most of Ken's paint work and he knows my love for this truck, he showed up at my shop yesterday and told me to hop in. He apologized for messing up my day

    Rare to see a Hotrod with original headlights in the early 60’s.
    I see the new version has a dropped headlight bar.

    Cool, That has always been a favorite of mine. I figured out a long time ago my bod wasn't going to fit in one comfortably though. I tried one that was for sale in
    Texas in the mid 70's on for size and it didn't fit.
