Blake Kincheloe pulled off the ultimate truck restoration by bringing his grandfather Richard's cherished 1954 pickup back to life.
As a teenager, Richard bought the International Harvester with his mother for $50 and a hog! The truck, nicknamed "Cannonball," remained on his property for more than 45 years, eventually catching the eye of his grandson, Blake.
