And on the Eighth day, God created the truck, and man was happy

Actually we don't have to look back quite that far. October 25th 2007 I took on a new project. Not that my 7 month old marrage wasn't enough, and the daily feeling of being a day behind at work wasn't enough to keep me up at night, but a project. Something I could relax with and enjoy. Anthony's own tinker time. This is what "We" bought

I say "We" because of the guilt trip I had to use to get my new wife to okay the purchase. This is my dream truck! A 1970 chevy C-10, 2wd, shortbed with a 454cid big block.

These three pictures were taken the very first night I saw the truck in west phoenix.

The owner at the time had just been diagnosed with a type of brain cancer that was told would take his life in a short time. So per his children all of his beloved toys, including my new truck were to be sold off before his passing.

Thus his toy, became my toy for a reasonable 10 grand.

The purpose of this blog it to track the progress I'll be making with my new toy. I've now owned this truck for just under three years, and for the past year its been in peices beginning the long road to perfection in my eyes. My hope is to, someday complete the truck, while still being married J/K, and not finacially in the hole, but to be able to look back with a book of memories and remember the road we came down in taking this truck from what it was, to what I dream it can become.
