If I am not in my car with my wife or kids there is something missing. Just not as fun if you can't share it with somebody.
Great post to bookmark when you are upset about finances or BS at work.
Great looking truck too!

I second that, such an awsome time. Great story, have some fun with them (dad and truck)!Originally Posted by TonyL
The last time I sat in my father's complete truck, my feet didn't reach the pedals. I remember making VROOM VROOM sounds as I pretended to be my dad, jamming the gears in it.
Today, I climbed up in the seat and drove it. For real.
Coolest. Feeling. Ever.

Tony- That's great to hear, man- It just reinforces my belief that you can't beat the true American spirit. Your Dad represents just that- sacrifice for family, fight the good fight, and an unwavering ability to never let your dreams die.
Awesome! Next time I'm in NrCal, the beer is on me.

Man to say that story touched me is an understatement. Thank you for sharing. I read your story to my wife and it touched us both. Talk about the true spirit of Rodding. Tell you your dad I said thanks for being a real Dad!

Im glad you were touched by our story. I can't tell you how surreal it is seeing it drivable. I'm so happy for my dad. That's what it's all about.

That is soooooo much like the truck I would have if I could really have the truck of my dreams. Your Dad is driving around in style now and it is soo great that you got to help make it come true for him.
Now if you guys can resist putting a flame job on I will be surprised
