Got a little help from my WD45 Saturday. Both my Allis and this 89 Chevy belonged to my Grandfather. I sold both at one time or another a decade ago, and bought both back. I tracked down the truck in 2019 and bought the tractor back this September. Both were still with the wonderful folks I sold them to, 30 miles apart and now the three of us have been reunited. I know a handful of you may recognize this truck, either from the area or previous posts several years ago, but I tracked it down and bought it back in 2019. My wife and I had our wedding photos taken with it in 2020. In 2021 it started having engine issues and it's been non running since. So the old WD45 helped pull it up on the trailer to head to my wife and I's new home. Finally a heated shop I can tear the old girl down in and give her a proper rebuild. I had to laugh, last time, it was the truck pulling the not running partially assembled tractor up on a trailer about 11 years ago Grandpa would be rolling over in his grave if he knew I hauled it with my Ford, LOL.
