The Ternus family brought in a 1968 Ford pickup to the Dysart Car, Truck and Bike Show on July 23. The truck was purchased from the Traer area and was of interest to Lynne as it was a model similar to a truck her dad owned. Lynne and Greg’s son Joe worked on the trucks engine and suspension as well as refinished the frame. They decided to keep the original paint job as it fit the farm truck asthetic. Joe is working on a 1963 Chevy Nova and a 1986 Mustang he hopes to have ready for next year’s show. Pictured with the truck (from left) are Lynne, Greg and Joe Ternus. Darvin Graham/NT Telegraph
