I used to drive past this truck each morning on my way to work, she was tank green and L60’s all around and I loved it.
Finally one day, I pulled into his yard and asked if he wanted to sell it. “I know your brother and he said you might want to sell it.”
He said, “I don’t know where he got that idea and I don’t want to sell.”

I gave him my card saying “if you ever want to sell please call me”. Well, a year later he called and asked if I still wanted the truck, so I ran to his house and gave a deposit.

I used and abused it for several years until I got the bug to restore it. It took 3 years, nights, and weekends until it was complete buying most of my parts from LMC Truck.

I was in my 20’s when I bought it and now 70 with no plans of selling her. Since my mother’s passing, my truck is now named Dolores.
