The truck came home today after 19 months in the shop. Still a few punch list type things to fix, but she's nice! I'm taking one of the daughters, wife and granddaughter to supper tonight - in the new '48 Willys of course!
I'll write the last part of the story later.
Pictures follow! (The color isn't right in the photos...)
And, a late edit. Nothing makes an old truck look better than a pretty girl! Miss Ila thinks Grandpa's truck is really neat!
