I like to think that my makeover has been a labor of love. All of my parts have been removed, cleaned of dust and rust, then painted and greased. My motor and axles have been rebuilt; and although “go” was important to the son, the mom thought stopping even more important, so my brakes were also rebuilt. Along this pleasurable but arduous journey, they have dealt with my “electrical issues” and gotten me a new seat, front and rear bumpers, a winch, shocks, tires, front glass, gas tank, and radiator. Most of my parts have come from wrecked trucks that Jim purchased at a “parts only” price. These four old trucks have served as organ donors in my re-birth process. Bondo, bed liner, and welding have patched and improved my rugged good looks. The dad restored my paint with Krylon spray paint, which is an off-the-shelf exact match for my original robin’s egg blue. Even now, the son carries a paint repair kit (sandpaper and Krylon paint) in the cab of the truck for quick body paint repairs.

After my reconstruction, my focus has changed from agriculture to four-wheeling in the deer woods and back woods of Arkansas. Every year in October, I leave my town home and return to the farm and stay throughout the entire deer season. I am delivered in style—on my very own trailer—and then I take over and haul eager deer hunters to the woods and into the cypress covered Saline River bottoms. My life as a deer woods pick-up has not been completely without stress, as I have found myself on fire in three feet of water, stuck in mud so badly that a very large John Deere tractor was needed to rescue me. (more to come)

Pete Zarria, yes this is John Deere green- . I was well off to the side when this huge combine passed.....I am not sure where that oncoming car was going to to move to.....
This combine was moved to the next field of rice to be harvested- with caterpillar tracks using the roads is not a good idea...much faster with the tractor trailer.
