HOMETOWN HEROES

01 Owner: Ned Fenimore

Location: Vancouver, Washington

Year, Make and Model: ’68 Chevy C10

“I purchased my truck in 2012 from a 91-yearold owner who was selling offhis vehicles. This ’68 was a really solid truck, but over the years I have owned it, I have slowly been making many improvements to make it uniquely mine. Previously I have owned both a ’65 and ’66 C10 Fleetside. My truck still runs with the original 327 engine. My favorite upgrade was a unique quarter-sawn wood bed that friend and I installed.”
