In April 2022, Chuck Mayhew purchased a 1931 Budd Wide Body Model A Pickup that was delivered in pieces. With the help of some club members (Luke Seyer, Charlie Sento, Barry Beckley, and Larry Ryan), Chuck had the truck back on the road in May 2023. Below find some recently received photos of the restored beauty.
