It had all come together. Finally, his dream was complete. Not only did he build a truck that allowed him to join the family he dreamed of, but he built a legend in South Texas. And this story isn't over--a new chapter's just beginning. The F-150 was sold to a new owner, Chris Morris, and Chris has started making this legend his own. He's already made changes to the interior, and he definitely has plans for other upgrades. Motor work and a new set of wheels might be in the near future. What about Ronnie? Oh, he's started another legend in the making, a 1955 Chevy Apache. Hopefully we can bait this truck to come out of hiding more than the Myth.
