It's been in the family since '72
Well i love all the cool trucks on here so i thought i would share one of mine.My father in-law bought it brand new when got back from Vietnam in '72 and owned it up until he passed away in '04,that's when i got it and knew right then i would never let it out the family.I don't make or have a lot of money to spend on it but you can bet i got money for gas and tires,to me i don't have to look like a million dollars to out run you so GET SUM!

Re: It's been in the family since '72
Likin It! Your work fits with the classic lines of the vehicle, I had not seen one done like that before.
That green adds to it! |

Re: It's been in the family since '72
I have to say this. Your pictures early on I was thinking what did he do to that truck. Now I'm looking at your latest work and I can't believe how awesome it's coming out! Great job.

Re: It's been in the family since '72
Very cool. Be a 50 year tradition before long.
One of my kids gets mine on death. First choice, oldest to youngest. Conditions are a garage and "have" to pass it down to the next generation.
