What a Happy day for Darrah. We went and picked up her truck. And Matthew did an outstanding job. Here are some pictures we took on the way home. More to come as she starts to add her goodies she has been buying over the past years.

It sure seems like this truck got painted quickly. Ordinarily trucks stay in paint prison for several months....or years.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Your brother can frame some nice shots! The first is a touch over-exposed, but would clean up perfectly with a little darkening!

Love the color of the truck too!

Re: My Daughters First Truck

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Very nice pics! It's great the truck got done for her to be able to enjoy while still in high school!

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Darrah figured out what she wanted for her rims and I think she did great, she saved up and had to buy 5 sets. proud of her, And she's now a junior in college. majoring in biomedical engineering, and working at the same tome.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Very nice choice!!

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Thanks Bill

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

That looks really nice! How is she liking school/college?

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Good to hear from ya! It's been a while. She made a great choice on the wheels, IMO. Sounds like she's a very bright young lady as well.:chevy:

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Thanks DW, She loves School.

Been busy, glad to be back. she's quite the kid. Thanks

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

You raised her right. You should be proud. That truck looks so good with the hubcaps and trim rings.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

David and Darrah.....First to David....I have followed this thread for awhile and today I re-read the entire thread from beginning to end. You are a very good man...not many men today would take the time or have the patience to do what you did to this ole truck but I think you did more for Darrah than you know...She now has lifes lessons learned that are priceless...I do think the title of the thread should have been...My daughters last truck because from the joy I have seen in her eyes I highly doubt that anyone else will ever own this truck. David you did a GREAT job!!!

Ms. Darrah..very impressed that you are getting your degree in biomedical engineering but I am more impressed at the discipline, perseverance and dedication you had to this lil truck. In todays society you do not see many young people who have this drive and willingness to work. There will never be a time when you will not have some memory of things you and your Dad did on this truck...sometimes just sitting in it will flood you with memories.

Chevrolet did a commercial a few years back about an ole truck that was on its last legs and the guy couldn't sell it...just told the man to "Fix It"

A lot of things will come your way in this life, some good, some not so good...just know who Controls all in this life, rest in His Grace, Trust Him and He will direct your paths.

I do not know either of you but am so very proud of you both.....it just does the heart good....

Don't be a stranger here...keep us updated on the travels of the ole truck....Not sure if you are on instagram but I would like to follow you...I feel I know you just from this build...If you do not want to publish you account you can PM me.........till we meet.

John

Re: My Daughters First Truck

Thanks John for the kind words. I thank God every day for the blessings he put under my care. Darrah said Thanks also.

Thanks TJ
