JOHN DOLLIVER MEMORIAL TRUCK Year/Make/Model: 1993 Dodge Pickup Owner: John Dolliver Location: Penhold, AB

This is a very special Dream Ride. It is a memorial to John Dolliver, who was killed as a passenger in a motor vehicle accident on Canada Day of 2016 when he was just 18 years old. John was very passionate about mechanics and he was planning to pursue a future in the automotive field. Like so many Dream Riders, build- ing his Dream Ride was John’s passion: it was all he ever talked about, according to his family. John and his dad had just started to transform his stock 1993 Dodge pickup before he died, so in his memory and to help with the grief, John’s parents decided to gather his friends and rebuild his truck just how he had envisioned it. After reviewing the text messages between John and himself as well as talking to John’s friends, his dad compiled a list of proj- ects on a white board in his garage in Penhold, Alberta. After an incredible 600+ hours and many laughs and tears, the build list was finally completed. While John had dreamed and originally discussed most of the mods to this truck, some of the add-ons are truly a tribute to him and the wonderful person he was.
