n a parallel universe, there’s a completely different side to the classic truck world devoted to the restoration and preservation of vintage haulers to mirror a time when they rolled off the production lines. It’s a moment in time when trucks were ready to get busy doing what they were designed to do, from hauling heavy loads to delivering the goods and even acting as workhorses on farms across the country. For Kyle Gendreau of Franklin, Massachusetts, bringing the ’67 Ford F-250 Custom Cab laid out across our pages back to life wasn’t just about the restoration, it was about completing a journey regarding a lifetime passion of farming and agriculture.
While many youngsters his age were seeing muscle cars rule the streets and watching nitro-fed Gassers light up regional dragstrips, Kyle’s fascination with farming brought him to experience it all firsthand at local harvest festivals. It’s there that an appreciation for trucks and tractors evolved, leading him down a path that would eventually bring him to the opportunity of actually owning his very own hobby farm. Over the past two decades there have been a few newly purchased Ford pickups used as daily drivers within the family that laid down a solid base as daily drivers. A decade ago, however, everything changed. Working as an executive traveling worldwide on a regular basis, he longed for the ability to return home and have a connection with the land, its peacefulness, and pace of life. Hoping to reach this goal led to a local farm that had fallen into disrepair, and was actually owned by his lovely wife Suzanne’s aunt and uncle, offering a perfect opportunity to take on the task of bringing it back. A deal was made and it was time to roll up his sleeves and get busy.
