    I bought my 39 chevy truck when I was 11. I paid my uncle $50. I FINALLY drove it down the driveway this spring. Nail head motor, extended and chopped cab, custom box. Hopefully it will be done next summer. I built the 40 truck in my avatar for practice before tackling this one. 20180409_184255.jpg

    1930 model A 4 door, I was about 13 yrs old and my dad traded a truck load of gravel for it. That would have been about 1957, it ran and stopped and was in really good condition as I remember. Only had it for a shot time as my mother said I would kill myself in it so my dad sold it.

    1941 Chevy when 13. Dad had it towed off before I got brakes fixed. 1951 Chevy business coupe at 14. Dad sold it when I got a ticket ( no license ). 1950 Ford I got for $50 and drove most of high school. Lots of Fords and Mopars since but would love to have that little business coupe back.
