About “Old Blue”
1946 Chevrolet 1/2-Ton Pickup
Saved it from rotting in my uncles backyard. My first restoration done with the help of family and friends. Not perfect, but pretty darned beautiful! Unfortunately, I needed the money more, so I had to sell it. The good news is that my Grandpa bought it from me so it's still in the family!
