Jake's Crispy Fried Truck Fund

Donation protected
While cleaning up and tearing down temporary lights in the parking lot of Eau Claire's Country Jam USA 2016, a great guy, Jake Emberson, was electrically shocked and fell to the ground. A good Samaritan was able to knock Jake off the wires, which ultimately saved his life. Those wires landed on his truck and burned it beyond repair though, with only liability insurance coverage. Jake's truck was his pride and joy, a 1974 Chevy, turbo 350 automatic, frame off restoration done by Jake and his boys. It had a new motor, new stereo/entertainment system, dual exhaust Doug's Headers, and was rust free. 
I couldn't begin to count the number of people Jake has helped throughout the years, he is  truly that guy who would give you the shirt off his back. Jake has worked at Country Jam for the past 25 years, giving up part of his treasured summers to help prepare the grounds for the thousands of country music fans. He has given away his extra passes to friends, put people on stage with the artists, and if I would have had my phone on me two years ago he would have had Chase Rice and Dierks Bentley in my boat to do some fishing on the Chippewa. 
I would like to help build Jake a "new" truck, but  I need your help. I'll do the  labor if we can raise enough funds to buy  the parts.
Thanks all, Tony McDonald
