1941 Chevy 1/2 ton
Owner: Ronnie Bray, Dobbs Ferry New York
Bob Casino shares a great story ...
This truck belongs to my great friend Ronnie Bray the grandson of the original owner Elliott Bray Sr. and his Dad Elliott Bray Jr. dba Elliott Bray Roofing who sold this truck and a 1949 GMC to a junk yard around 1974 after retiring the roofing business. I purchased the house were this and other trucks were, and agreed to keep the truck here were it was anyway for him, but grandpa and his father said no and off to the junk yard it went, so we all thought. Since the grandson did not want to be in the roofing business the grandpa and his dad sold both trucks for $250.
We found the truck just 20 mins from our home: there it was in a garage with 32 years of dust on it in the shape it was from the day it left here.
It might not be a show room trophy condition but he will enjoy it the way he remembers it growing up washing it and maybe grandpa would let him start it sometimes to charge the battery. This is truly a truck that came home!

Here's a cool WIP owned by Ricky Skaggs. Looks like alot of metal work has been done on this one already.
Name: Plumlow
I would guess the name has to do with what the final color may be?
