1954 Chevy Pickup
Gary Pauley
STORY: I remember the first time I drove. It was on my Grandpa’s farm in southern Boone County in the early 60’s. Grandpa and I were in the fields and needed the truck brought out to where he was working. I walked back to the house and got into the early 50’s Chevy pickup. I had never driven it before as my feet would barely reach the pedals. I started it up and put it in first gear. The clutch came out and the engine did not stall. I was on my way. As I crossed the field I got brave and shifted from first to second. I was really moving now. I will always remember that truck. Now, as I approach retirement, I keep telling my wife I need a truck. All my friends have trucks. Suddenly, I had the opportunity to buy this Classic 1954 Chevy Pickup. It reminds me so much of the first truck I drove. It’s a real classic. I love my truck.
