OY VEY! Some poeple's children...

Sorry to hear about your friends misfortune...it's a sucky feeling.
When my 79 T/A was stolen, i paced the parking lot for 30 minutes thinking one of my friends had moved it on me. Finally had to come to grips that it was gone, it's a very sinking feeling. They never did find it

Wow... thats cool that actually finally got it back! That new truck he built is sweet. I love the Chevy trucks from that era.... even if it does say Chevy on it.

I didn't get a pic of the "new" hood the guy had put on his other truck, it was a 4" all steel cowl hood that had stripes painted on it and said SS on the side the cowl, it was tacky and comical. It won't crank so he took it to the shop that built it. He's going to be asking $4000 for it once he gets it running.

He might show up at the Smokey Bones photoshoot with his red truck next weekend.

Nice they got it back, too bad it was ruined, and yep it's tainted. They should give your buddy a baseball bat and 5 minutes "quality time" alone with the thief...

HAHA! Kenny is about 6'4" and has lived half his life in the Gym.
I don't think it would take 5 minutes.

Sounds like he might not need the bat either

Wait a second. The theif has been driving around for almost an entire year in a stolen truck????

WTF is that all about?!

The police are trying to say that in almost a year not ONE Cop has run the tag while sitting at a stop light and saw that it was stolen? I have only JUST NOW lost 100% faith in our LEOs. I already had almost no respect for them in MD, but now, that translates to SC as well.

Tell your friend that my heart goes out to him for the BS he's gone through for the last year.

Even more interesting, as he was trailering it out of town a State Trooper pulled up next to him and told him that he'd been watching the truck in the thieves yard for a couple of months.

He's taking it to the shop tomorrow to try to get it fired up. I think once he hears it again he'll probably decide to keep it and fix it. It's a SBC with a nice lumpy cam, headers into flowmasters dumping just behind the cab. It used to sound really really good.
