been off forum for awhile, back story, my truck parked at work, get hit. after 45days i get $00.00 from bad driver insurance, during that time smack deer, my insurance gives 2400.00 for repair, went on search for parts, end up spending close to 3100.00 for fender, cowl hood, grill, new lights, paint, ect ect. took it part time painter. seen his builds ,does good work.

few months go by and truck gone, painter dies, family has no ideal were it went , report it missing.

family tells bunch lies , no one held accountable, basically i'm out of luck, no insurance

figured it been junked

year later, it's been impounded and police tell me to pick it up, some guy been fixing it up (maybe a relation to painter) but never had title.

wrecker company gives me discount, 125.00 for tow, no impound fee.

had her home for awhile now, changing steering column out, since i don't know how many keys are out their

this is her now,

Wow. That's one hell of a story. You don't need to change out the whole column. You can just change the lock cylinder.

Sounds like the Sheriff might be the painter's cousin or someone should go to jail over this . Glad you got it back. How close are you to having it able to run? Agree with the guy that said you need a GPS locator on it in case it goes missing after you fix it up. Looks like it will be a good truck. Mine is a '93 also. Not quite as safe but good to know you don't have to deal with a 27 year old airbag! Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
