Oh ya, there is a truck story too. Mike's step dad, Jack left him a 1976 Stepper when he passed, and at the time Mike wasn't really interested, well fast forward a few years, and his 1976 C10 "Poised Hipster" helped him at times continue to drive and fight through his cancer. 

Every Truck has a Story, in this case its a whole lot more then just a truck story! 

Thanks Mike for your time and inspiration.
