--------------------------------------------------------------------- GOOD STUFF!!! YAY CAMP CARE!!! http://www.wlos.com/shared/newsroom/special_reports/wlos_vid_171.shtml --------------------------------------------------------------------- Major BUMMER! Our very cool ’53 Chevy Pickup Truck (classic, 5 light wrap-around windows) was stolen last week. We were in the process of restoring her to use for our cancer awareness and survivorship support charity initiatives through DrumsForCures :: drumSTRONG. She was gonna pull our drumSTRONG Float in the Carolinas Carrousel Thanksgiving Parade. The cab (primer color) and motor (new 350 hp custom built) mounted to the powder-coated (black) frame are on new wheels/tires. The truck, on trailer with 3 pallets of parts were stolen at gunpoint from a secured garage on Old Concord Rd (Charlotte, NC) Fri. night, Oct. 23. There are not that many classic Chevy trucks out there so we should be able to find her... Thanks, S http://www.wcnc.com/news/topstories/stories/wcnc-110409-mw-charity-truck-stolen.28491f111.html
