Well i guess its time to introduce my self and my truck. My name, as you may have guessed is Donald, And this is the story of my girl Jennie.
Jenny was bought by a up and coming car mechanic late in 1977 as a tow truck, she was a lonely "custom" and no body wanted here...she was a leftover as the new 78's were on there way. Mr Marc bought her and put her into a life of work. She worked hapily for 30 years when her handler decided it was time she retired. But Mr Marc loved the old girl to much to set her out to pasture so he had the cab floors, corners, doors, fenders, and even the roof replaced by a local panel knocker, new life was breathed into her rear end, engine, transmission, and transfercase, she was even given a "new" bed...Her towing days were officially over. Time went by as time does and electrical gremlins set in, cancer begain eating at her new panels and old marc just couldnt take it any more. He sent her to the boneyard in 2010. A Marine who had just gotten medically retired was walking through the yard he used to work one day and out of the corner of his eye he caught a bodyline he knew all to well, like seeing your first woman for the second time. His heart beat quickened and all he could think about was getting her home and bare....Metal that is. and thus begins our story.
