Long story. I'll keep it short. My FIL died at 94 years old on his farm. He had an 84 Dodge truck he drove until he died. My wife liked that truck....probably because it was her dads. After he died it went to a nephew who basically trashed it. It wouldn't run at all.
Soooo, I bought it and am restoring it. Turned out to be a 1984 "Marksman". As you may know, they were sold with a certificate to send it to get a Remington 30-30 rifle. I found the rifle and bought it too. Never been fired. Still in the box.
My wife has no idea it's being restored. Kids and grand kids have kept the secret for a few months now. They're all coming home in August for the reveal.
