5 years ago I came across this truck. I don't know much if anything about them. It wasn't in very good condition, body wise. But it looked very good on the inside, and ran just fine. Turns out somebody loved this truck, and they kept it around for a reason. It was jamed in the back of dank detatched garage. Given up on temporarily after using it to haul building supplies by a father and son team, for the benefit of the children who would soon come and take its place. Some say she sat for 15 years, others swear it was more like 25 before they pulled her out just to pay a kid fresh outta trade school a few dollars to smooth out her rough edges. Like a recovered addict she sat, bearing openly her dressed wounds on the Ave, standing tall, and she was proud. She had overcome, and deserved her position in front of the classic showroom in humble humility. That's where I first saw her. So, I called my Dad. He told me he had one just like her. I remembered, but I let him tell me anyway. I dont know son, he said. But he knew I'd already made up my mind, so he left it at that. I went to get her the next day, and took a needless test drive. I'm happy I did, because that's when i got the story of the the house and garage and the children and the buck private body man. I said almost immediately I like this truck alot, it really drives great, and made him an offer. He went up a hundred bucks. I said ok...and I just kept goin, even though the deal was done. He didnt even care. We had to go the next day to the dmv so we parked her there on the Ave, in front of the showroom, and decided to meet late the next morning. All the rest of the time we spent together he never never revealed to me how special she was. Well it took me 5 years of drivin a little while and then parkin a while, before I decided to put a few dollars into it. I've learned lessons before, so I won't start a job, unless I've got every thing I need. Including all the parts, and knowledge that their going to fit. Cause you cant leave your car apart for a few days parked in the street. So I opened the glove box on the advice of a dealership parts expert, and snapped a picture. Looked normal, but not completely normal as it turns out. After a few secret sites and pages with the help of some wise friends.A Triple C/Triple S.

I'd like to learn about this truck. Anyone that can pass on any knowledge resources or comments would be real cool.
Thanks,
Dan
