Over the past two years, Keagen, Steve, and Chris (l-r) have spent countless hours in this Hawkeye garage working on this 1982 Chevrolet pickup. The project began during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the family is finally in the final stages of the restoration process. (Zakary Kriener photo)

For Calmar’s Keagen Streeter and his great-uncle, Steve, of Hawkeye, it was more about the journey than the actual destination. Fortunately, the destination turned out pretty cool as well!
“I’ve had the truck and a bunch of parts for it sitting around for a long time and always had the goal of getting it restored,” said Steve, who along with his 16-year-old nephew are nearly finished bringing the 1982 Chevy square body back to life. “Our initial goal was to have it done by the time Keagen turned 16. Unfortunately, I had a house fire in 2020, which delayed the process. Our new goal was to have it ready for his junior prom.”
