This is a build that the guys on 67-72ChevyTrucks.com have undertaken as a team effort. There's a couple links here:
Here's the quick version of the story:
Lately, the story has taken another sad turn:
Dawn was diagnosed with lung cancer and not given very much time to live. So the forum people have been making one big push to get the truck ready so she can see it before the time comes. They're planning on scheduling a work day April 5th in Nashville, TN, and have a list of items they're looking for here:
I'm not sure if I can contribute much myself, but I wanted to help spread the word.
Here's the quick version of the story:
As stated, this Lady suddenly lost her husband at the young age of 46. Her and her husband Clyde loved these old Chevy Trucks. When he died his wife Dawn was left with four of them. She posted three of them and a bunch of parts for sale on Ebay in one auction, but none of the items sold because it was just so much to haul off. One of our members posted her story in the thread linked to above. As of this date the thread has been viewed over 15,000 times. A lot of people's hearts went out to this lady because of her situation, so we decided to take up donations to help her. In one week we raised over $1500 through our board members donations. Some other boards members even got involved and donated.
It was decided to give Dawn $1,000, and to take the remainder and get her other truck on the road for her. The fourth truck that Dawn has is a 67 SWB and it's very special to her. Her and her husband called the truck "Ole Girl" and before his death they had plans to fix it up. So, as you probably gathered Dawn's 67 SWB will be the subject of this build. We hope by doing this for Dawn that it might bring some closure in her life regarding her husband's passing.
