This website is dedicated to my father
Neil W. Blaylock Jr.
who was killed in an auto accident on October 27, 1998.
My father was the
smartest man I've ever known and his impact on this world was
felt far and wide. His passing was not only a loss for
my family, but for hundreds and hundreds of friends and coworkers
across the country. Not having his love, kindness and
words of wisdom in my life has been a hard thing for me to deal
with over these past years. Creating this site has allowed
me to keep his memory and his love for Classic Dodge pickups
alive!
My father's
1965 Dodge D100 Utiline
was his pride and joy for many years. He would purchase
my mother a new Dodge ram every other year, but refused to get
himself a new truck. His Utiline was purchased dirt cheap
from a local phone company back when I was about 16 years old
(I'm in my 30's now). It took us weeks to scrap all the
South Texas mud out from under the truck when he first got it.
That time under the truck are some of my strongest memories
of him to this day. The truck was given to me after his
death and is currently in the process of receiving a frame off
restoration.
Below you will find
various pictures, articles and other memorabilia regarding my
father and his 1965 Dodge! The Dodge is mentioned in many
of these articles including the "survived by section"
of his obituary. I've marked the sections of the articles
where the truck is mentioned. I hope you enjoy reading
about my father and his truck. He was a great man!
My father loved
his property in Seguin, TX and so did "Old Blue",
here's a few shots of the him at the property!
more to come...
Following his death,
there were numerous articles written on him and the accident.
I've selected a few that actually mention his truck or the accident
specifically.
