My dad bought it new in ’72 and used it for his retail business as his chase truck to pick cars to detail and it was totaled I believe in ’75 but he wouldn’t let it go, even replaced the frame. I grew up riding in the truck and learned how to drive in it with the 3 on the tree which I am leaving in it today. My dad gave it to me about a year and a half before he passed away and I asked “why me?” since there are 3 boys and he said “you are the one that will bring it back”. Trying to honor his wish with a few updates, but keep the originality of the truck to put it back as close to new as I can. LMC has mostly everything I needed and more on its way.
