The timeline and plans reflect the owner’s original account.
Lou bought his 1967 Ford in 2017 to build a patina truck. It became a tribute to his wife, whom he lost to cancer. Driving it kept her memory part of the miles ahead.
A Roadster Shop chassis, Baer brakes, TMI interior, AccuAir ride and a 5.0 with a 6R80 supported the build. The adventures and people he met across the United States were the memories he chose to share. His plan was to keep driving and enjoying it.
