Pete went looking for a crew cab Highboy and rescued this 1977 from a field. Around eight years into ownership when he shared the account, that rescue was still the story he chose.


Tires, a fuel tank and lights were the upgrades he listed. He had no elaborate next phase to describe. He wanted to drive it.
