History Rod & Custom Dream Truck

I was looking through the latest edition of Kustomrama Newsletter and found this link that is interesting and depressing at the same time, Bill

Here is more of the story:

 

There was a good article back in the early 80`s or so about the wreck with pictures and the restoration of the truck. You need to see this in person.

 

Thanks

 

I remember that build from start to finish......and the tragic accident. It was a sad revelation but the story turned out much better than first expected before it was rebuilt.

^^^^^What Ray said

 

I followed the truck for years and remember some of those photos well. I was lucky enough to show my truck on the same field with the Dream truck in Ogden in 1982 at the Chevy GMC Truckin Nationals that Seth Dalton put on. I took a lot of photos of it then and it was shooting film in those days rather than digital. Those are in my box of missing photos /photo albums though.
