"I finally got my family’s Dodge carryall painted and on the road! This vehicle has been in my family since 1946. My Dad traded/sold two Ford jeeps and bought the carryall as the family vehicle when he lived in N. California after he was discharged from the army in 1946. In the winter of 1949, he, my mother, and oldest sister drove the carryall from N. CA to N. MN, where both of my parents were originally from. This truck was family car, truck, and sometime tractor for my Dad until 1985, when I took possession of the truck. It was shipped via contract auto carrier from N. MN to W. MD, where I was living. I started restoration in 1986, but it was a definite amateur restoration (cover all rust and dents with Bondo). Five years ago, I got serious and restarted the restoration. While there are still some dents in the truck, the rust has been removed and little Bondo has been used. While there still is work to be done, the carryall is out of the garage. I have to rebuild/replace three of the seats/frames in the truck, there are four seats in the truck."
