Pete Blieu is a tall, blond-haired teenage boy who enjoys cars, football, and soccer. Joe Schone is a short, chubby, sandy brown-haired teenage boy that enjoys the same fruits of life as Pete. The two boys have been the best of friends since the day they could talk. Their parents had known each other since high school. Both couples had married young and the boys were also coming into their lives at about the same time. .
For Joe's sixteenth birthday, his father gave him an old, beaten up pickup truck with potential for repair and possibly restoring. This had been a tradition in the Blieu family for the past couple of generations now, where the father would show up with a rickety old vehicle in hopes of spending some father-son time together while restoring them.
The truck was a 1976 4X4 Dodge Power Wagon, with a big beefy V8 motor, a manual transmission, and no muffler system to speak of. It hardly stopped either, as it had almost nothing for brakes. The tires looked as though they may explode at even the mere sight of a sharp rock. The bed of the pickup had cancerous rust holes in it the size of most babies" heads. It was hard to tell, but it looked like the original colors may have been a two-tone brown and tan, but once again, it was hard to tell since it all blended in with the rust. Needless to say, the truck would need some exterior bodywork and some mechanical work as well. The interior of the cab also left much to be desired. The windshield had a huge spider-web crack in it, and the driver's side window didn't have a crank on it. The radio was also missing, even though it didn't matter, as there weren't any speakers left either. And, of course, the floorboards were rusted all the way through. You could see all the way to the gravel driveway below.
The first thing Pete did was get on the horn to Joe about his new toy. Joe was so excited. .

"You wanna head in to town to the performance shop to see what we can get for that thing," Joe asked.
