James shared a little bit of the history behind this truck and I'll let James tell it himself. "If possible, I'd like to add some information to my picture! I bought my 1965 Chevy back in 2001 for $7,000. I replaced the old 350 with a 330 crate motor; the 350 tranny was updated to a 700R4, I left the 411's in until I can replace them with 370's! The front-end is all new with disc brakes and a 2 1/2 drop. It has Ididit steering and Vintage air. All that is left are cosmetics. Hopefully I will finish the truck before our grandson get's too old! This whole project was a dream! It started back in high school.. Later on in my adult life I had a son named Joseph who passed away in 2001. THANK GOD for 19 wonderful years! Joseph was my inspiration. He loved rod's too! When he passed away unexpectantly, I received a settlement. With this settlement I used a portion of it to purchase the 1965. Joe and I always wanted to purchase a classic vehicle. This was a dream which we always shared together. This was a gift from JOE, if you can understand that! And I know Joe would have liked it very much. Our truck is very sentimental to us. My wife Emily & I enjoy the shows and go when we can! Thank you for letting us share this with you." James & Emily
