Randy was equally particular about the upholstery work for his restoration project. After checking numerous sources he had Vaughn's Upholstery in Greer to renovate the inside of the vehicle. "The motor is all original," says Randy, "I've done some work on it, Dut it is basically the way it was when new. I know it has high mileage, but trucks just keep on running." Randy has over $2,000 in his truck, but is pleased with his investment. "I've learned that restoring a vehicle is expensive and takes a lot of time, but I have enjoyed it." - 1 0 ERECTION REQUESTED 'he Best Way! D.H. Roberts
