Uncle Paul's 38
This 38 pickup belonged to my great uncle. He gave it to my dad in the 1960’s.We used it on the farm and I drove it to school from time to time.In the 1970’s, as a newly married college grad with plenty of enthusiasm and limited resources, I started a “restoration.”The failed attempt resulted in the pickup being relegated, literally, to the barn for four decades.Having retired, I’ve taken up the project once again.I may be a bit less nimble, but I still have the enthusiasm and now it seems I have the time and resources to see the project through (along with the help and expertise of some folks that have done those tasks where my limits are apparent).Here’s a few pics.Hope to substantially finish this summer.It will be a driver, not a show truck.My thanks to this website for all the help provided.
