The truck was impounded due to a brother with a substance abuse issue,.. It was borrowed and ended up in impound. I believe he did not update his contact info so He was never contacted when it was locked up.

Spring forward a few months and I see it on the flat deck to the shredder,..I chase the tow truck down and bribe it away from the shred pile, paid a bit more to buy it as a parts and then paid to have it towed away to a secure yard.

I registered it only to have the VIN burnt as it was sent through impound. So I list the truck have 5 guys bidding on it and my tow guy says the original owner really wants it back , I get the short story on how it and how it all went down. So back through the grape vine I send the message. Cover my costs and I will had over the truck,... I am a car guy and can understand a bad family situation so I gave him a week to contact me and prove previous ownership.

Now I have too many cars and trucks,... I have enough to keep me busy restoring for 10 years lol. I am slowly repairing and thinning the heard so if the trekker is the last to go I keep it. I am showing one of my 5 Comanche pick ups tomm.

I don't need to sell any of them but I figure I should share some of my finds over the years but I am not giving them away.

Hopefully that clears up any confusion, if there are any more questions please feel free to ask I want to be 100% transparent on this. I could of re-vin'd it with a rotted 82 truck but I need to be honest when I sell a car. I will not risk soiling my name by bull s#itting or risk getting in hot water for selling a vin swapped truck,.... Now if I was keeping it I would as it's aok not a collision truck, it was impounded.
