Thread: And another Dodge

Tweet

Well I took home the 48 and so far I've not been disappointed. They were a super nice couple who sold it to me and I will be the 4th owner. He was a Vietnam vet who's health has been deteriorating due to Agent Orange and he knew he wasn't going to get it back together. He and his wife helped us load up the pickup and parts and I was a sweaty gross mess at the end but his wife still had to give me a hug before I left . I couldn't help but put it a little bit back together when I got it home and it went pretty easy due to his labeling and organization of parts and bolts.I'm not crazy about how Dodge liked to paint the boxes black back then but that's the way it was so that's how it's going to be.I'm going to keep him updated on progress as I get it back together and hope to drive it to Sioux Falls when I'm finished to let him drive it.
