Cool story: 

This truck belonged to my grandpa Roger Carnes. It’s been sitting in pieces spread between a few buildings for the last 40 years. My grandpa passed before I was able to get it out. I had to figure everything out on my own. I had no idea what I was getting myself into as I’ve never put a car of any kind together. With a few tips from a few people including my dad Jim Hoover, friend of my grandpas Ray Lasser and a LOT of research I was able to get it put together. My buddy Chad Lawrence helped me with primer and some body work. And all are still continuing to help as it’s still a work in progress.
