Tim Horn said he had always been a car nut and was always looking through publications looking for just the right vehicle to restore. There it was. In a scrap yard in Mt. Home, Arkansas. He called and asked to see pictures of the truck and still went to Arkansas. The owner of the business was proud to sell him a rusted out shell of a 1954 Ford F-100 pickup truck. It must have looked pretty bad to someone who didn’t share in his vision because his wife wasn’t so sure she wanted this brought home to Shreveport.
