September until the end of
November before he got the
paint like we wanted it."
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."
