JR's Korner of BillyBob's garage is the history of BillyBob before I got him (1983 thru 1996). My brother Wm. C. Kephart owned the pickup immediately before I got it and has graciously volunteered to write the ole truck's history for that time period. In his own words, herein lies the tales of their voyages together, so grab an Iron City out of the cooler, plant youself on an oil drum or engine block, or any other "butt to ground adapter" you see in this corner of the garage and read on. The words from here on out are JR's.

5.	Fixing the rear seal	6.	Fixing the passenger door glass
