My 1985 Chevy long box is a story of pure determination. It began with replacing the motor with a 350 crate motor, then lowering the suspension 2 inches.  The truck now ran great and handled even better.  Now was time to tackle the body.  I thought I would replace the box, fix the rockers and paint.  One thing led to another and I ended up with a body off restoration, with all body parts replaced, with the exception of the front panel of the box.
In December, 2008, with the truck in pieces, I had a stroke, was told to give up the truck and my dream of completing it.
Giving up was not an option for me.  After a month in the hospital and another 3 months of rehab, I was back in my garage, and as you can see, my dream truck is complete.
My Super Chevy magazines gave me the inspiration to complete my truck.  
Thank you
