This is Walter, named for Walter Payton of the Chicago Bears. It’s a 1966 Chevy half ton pickup truck purchased for $360 by my oldest son Ryan in 2000 when we lived in Kansas. He was 14, had his learner’s permit and had money he earned delivering newspapers and mowing lawns. I had to teach him the fine art of shifting a “three on the tree.” After Ryan was KIA in Iraq, Walter was restored to how Ryan planned to have it done. I take it to car shows when possible because my boy would if he could.
