THE PAPER WORK I RECEIVED WITH TRUCK SHOWS

TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY RESTORED BY SWEET DREAMS IN

CENTERVIEW MO. FOR A MR. BRENT BIRDWELL. HAS BEEN

THRU A COUPLE MORE OWNERS SINCE. THE LAST ONE

WAS A GOOD FRIEND THAT HOOKED ME UP FOR A SONG. THANK YOU ROBERT ELLERMAN

THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN AT HIS HOUSE IN

LOUISIANNA BEFORE HURRICANE KATRINA AND A

TREE FALLING ON THE BED. THAT WAS THE TRIGGER

THAT PUSHED HIM TO START THE TEARDOWN FOR A RE-RESTORE

THAT'S A 454  BUT HARD TO SEE IN PICTURE

THE TRUCK WAS ALL UNASSEMBLED BUT THE CAB WHEN

I STARTED ON IT. I HAVE CONTINUED TO KEEP UP LOG BOOK

ON TRUCK.

THE BENCH SEAT SAYS BIRDDOG ON IT FROM MR. BIRDWELL,

BUT HAS NOW BECOME IT'S NICKNAME FOR US (MY SON AND I).

WITH MY SONS HELP I HOPE TO GET HER BACK ON THE ROAD
