This truck is our childhood truck. My dad bought this Dodge in 1991 brand new and we spent our whole childhood in this truck. I can still hear the sounds of the ignition and AM radio. We went everywhere in this truck! Camping, hunting, errands, church, school and grandpa’s house.
In 2013 or so, he said he was putting up the truck for sale - so he could get a towing truck for my sisters dream of horses and trailers. I couldn’t imagine the truck not being in our family, so I bought for him in perfectly mint condition and drove it myself. I eventually sold the truck to a friend because we had too many vehicles that we clung onto for sentimental reasons, in hopes I would see it thrive and be loved. Though we sold to some dear friends at the time who had good intentions, this truck went through some hellish times to say the least. It was just passed around like a hot potato getting absolutely demolished. This truck has seen some things. Used, wrecked, abandoned. It was devastating and heart wrenching. It was given back with opportunities for improvement and continued passing around to be fixed back up but there it sat, rotting away. My dad grieved ever getting rid of this truck and a big regret if his was letting it go. I so badly had every intention on reviving this truck for my dad in hopes to give it back to him. I feel so much guilt for ever letting it go.
Unfortunately, my dad passed in 2023 and we were not able to do that for him which leaves me with great sadness that he wasn’t able to see his truck the way it was again. However, on this day, we have a path for revival and currently in the works to get this truck REBORN!
With your help, we can get this truck the way it was and my family will never let it go! In the name of George DeWitt 💙
