My dad didn't give a crap, to be honest. I bought a '55 1st series for my first car for $200 back in '73. Total joke when it came to safety. Brakes barely stopped the truck, windows cracked, etc, etc. He did make me insure it, but after that I was on my own. I don't know, he just didn't think about it much, and neither did I, but that was the thinking back then...I would never do that with my son now. That's why he ended up with a new Ranger, I wanted to make sure he had something dependable and safe. 68 C-20's dad turned that into a great life lesson, and took advantage of a wonderful opportunity to get closer to his son. That is what a dad is all about.
